This Sub-Zero features a unique Dual Refrigeration system to keep food fresher longer.
With the Sub-Zero Dual Refrigeration system, individual refrigerator and freezer systems have been designed to maintain accurate, consistent temperatures and proper humidity levels for longer food life expectancy. Dual Refrigeration eliminates transfer of fresh food odors to frozen food and ice and does not freeze the moisture out of the air in the fresh food section.
This intelligent cooling system revolutionizes SubZero's already-superior preservation capabilities, keeping food even fresher for longer.
This intelligent LED lighting system fully illuminates the interior and reduces shadows.
To reposition a door shelf or dairy compartment:
If the door opening is limited to 90°, door shelves may need to be removed before removing a storage drawer or glass shelf.
The bottom of the dairy compartment rotates upward to accommodate taller items below. For models without vertical dividers in the compartment, the entire bottom rotates upward. For models with a vertical divider, one section rotates upward. Refer to the illustration below.
To reposition a glass shelf:
Use care when handling glass shelves to prevent breakage or scratching the interior.
Glass shelves should warm to room temperature before immersing in warm water.

TEMPERATURE CONTROL
To optimize food preservation, the refrigerator drawer temperature is adjustable automatically or manually. All drawers are set to the same temperature and cannot be adjusted individually.
Auto Mode—automatically adjusts the refrigerator drawer temperature 2° below the refrigerator set temperature, but cannot go below 34°F (1°C).
Manual Mode—manually adjust the refrigerator drawer up to 2° above or below the refrigerator setpoint, but cannot go below 34°F (1°C) or above 42°F (6°C).
To adjust temperature:
HUMIDITY CONTROL
To optimize food preservation, the refrigerator humidity level is adjustable between Normal humidity and Enhanced (increased) humidity. Some vegetables (leafy greens, herbs, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, broccoli, carrots, peppers, and asparagus) benefit from enhanced/increased humidity, however, proteins and fruits typically benefit from normal humidity. If condensation/moisture appears inside the refrigerator, verify the setting is set to Normal.
To adjust humidity:
Many fresh foods emit ethylene gas, a naturally-occurring compound that hastens food ripening and spoilage. If your unit is equipped with an air purification system, the cartridge has been factory installed and is located on the back wall of the refrigerator.
To turn on air purification, touch on the options screen.
The air purification system complies with applicable federal requirements regarding incidental exposure to ultraviolet light. Lamp contains mercury. Manage in accordance with disposal laws. Visit earth911.com or call 800-222-7820.
AIR PURIFICATION CARTRIDGE
The air purification cartridge lasts approximately one year. "Snooze/Refresh" appears on the control panel when the cartridge needs to be replaced. Touch "Snooze" to delay the reminder for 24 hours or until the cartridge can be replaced.
Replacement Sub-Zero air purification cartridges can be ordered online at subzero.com/store. For questions, contact Sub-Zero Customer Care at 800-222-7820.

The water filtration system supplies filtered water to the ice maker and water dispenser (dispenser models) to produce great-tasting water and ice.
When using the water filtration system for the first time and after filter replacement, it is necessary to clear any air from the system and allow the filter to assist in cleaning the water lines. For non-dispenser models, discard the first two full bins of ice. For dispenser models, dispense several glasses of water for a period of two minutes.
If the water filtration system will not be used, it can be placed in water filter bypass mode by removing the filter.
"Snooze/Refresh" appears on the control panel when the filter needs to be replaced. Touch "Snooze" to delay the reminder for 24 hours or until the filter can be replaced.

To operate the ice maker:
After initial start-up, discard the first few batches of ice. The ice may contain impurities from new plumbing connections.
Max ice increases ice production up to 30% for a 24-hour period. During that period, some components may run at a higher speed resulting in a unique audible tone. This is typical and will revert back after 24 hours or when the ice bin is full.
Ice may fuse together if not used regularly. To avoid, discard the ice and allow the ice maker to replenish.
Turn off the ice maker if the ice bin is removed for an extended period. The unit is equipped with a 3-minute delay after the ice bin is removed, to ensure cubes are not ejected before the ice maker is turned off or the ice bin is installed.
Night mode automatically reduces interior light brightness when low ambient light is detected. appears in the upper-left corner of the control panel display when night mode is turned on.

Food Preservation Tips–To reduce the risk of spoilage, minimize food handling. Store fruits and vegetables separately. Store meats in the original packaging; once opened, re-wrap tightly.
Ethylene Gas–Many fresh foods emit ethylene gas, a naturally-occurring compound that hastens food ripening and spoilage. Sub-Zero refrigerators come with an air purification system (based on technology developed by NASA) that scrubs the air of ethylene and odor every 20 minutes. To reduce spoilage, do not store ethylene-producing fruits and vegetables with those that are ethylene-sensitive.
Indicates an ethylene-producing food.
Indicates an ethylene-sensitive food.
Humidity–The optimal humidity varies for different foods. To keep food fresher longer, store foods in the areas designated in the following charts.
*Do not refrigerate. †Ripen on the counter before refrigeration.
STAINLESS STEEL EXTERIOR
Use a nonabrasive stainless steel cleaner and apply with a soft lint-free cloth. To bring out the natural luster, lightly wipe the surface with a water-dampened microfiber cloth followed by a dry polishing chamois. Always follow the grain of stainless steel.
INTERIOR CLEANING
To clean interior surfaces and all removable parts, wash with a mild solution of soap, water, and baking soda. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Avoid getting water on the lights and control panel.
Do not use vinegar, rubbing alcohol, or other alcohol-based cleaners on any interior surface
VACATIONS
For extended vacations, turn power off at the control panel. Empty the unit and block doors open slightly to let fresh air in and keep the interior dry. The water filter should be replaced before start-up.
CONDENSER
The condenser is located behind the flip-up grille. Clean the condenser every 6–12 months.
Before cleaning the condenser, turn power off at the control panel. Wear gloves to avoid injury from sharp condenser fins.
To clean the condenser:
Failure to clean the condenser could result in temperature loss, mechanical failure, or damage.
