DUAL INSTALLATION
If two units are installed side by side, a dual installation kit
may be required. Installations without a custom filler strip
require a dual installation kit. If a dual installation kit is not
specified, a 2"
(51) filler strip is recommended between the
units. Dual installations without a filler strip can only be
accomplished using two units with opposite hinges. Refer
to the illustrations below.
IMPORTANT NOTE: For dual installations of a door and
drawer model, the door model face frame is approximately
⁄"
(2) proud of the drawer face frame. This is only appar-
ent when the door/drawers are open at the same time.
The door/drawers align when closed. The door handle
must be next to the drawers.
Dual installation kits are available through an authorized
Sub-Zero dealer. For local dealer information, visit the
find a showroom section of our website, subzero.com.
For questions regarding the installation, call Sub-Zero
Customer Care at 800-222-7820.
