INSTALLATION SPECIFICATIONS
AREA REQUIREMENTS
Before moving the unit into place, be sure that
the rough opening dimensions, electrical
location, and minimum door clearances are
accurate. Refer to the illustration below. Also
Refer to page 5 for overall dimensions.
Be sure your electrician and cabinet installer
have this information before finishing work is
completed.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Make sure the floor under
the unit is level with the surrounding finished
floor.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
For corner installations,
door swing may be limited due to handle
contact with the adjacent wall or cabinet face.
You must allow a minimum of 2" (51) from the
wall for a 90˚ door opening. This will ensure
that the wine shelves can be fully extended.

SUB-ZERO MODEL 315W INSTALLATION
KICKPLATE AIRFLOW
The wine cooler uses a fan to take in room air
through vents in the left side of the kickplate,
and discharges warm air through vents in the
right side. These vents must be kept clear of
obstructions or decorative panels. Blocking or
obstructing the kickplate will restrict air flow
and cause a decrease in performance and
efficiency. Refer to the illustration below.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
The minimum air
temperature the wine cooler will operate in is
50˚F (10˚C), and the maximum is 100˚F (38˚C).
MOVING THE UNIT
IMPORTANT NOTE:
When you move the unit
using a hand truck or dolly, position the dolly
on the side of the unit and secure the door so
it does not open while transporting.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
When moving and
installing the Model 315W/S, be sure to protect
all stainless steel surfaces from scratches.
Once the unit is in place, remove any tape or
other packaging material from the inside.
Check that all wine shelves fully extend.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
A 115 V AC, 60 Hz, 15 amp circuit breaker and
electrical supply are required. A separate
circuit is required for each unit.
The Model 315W is equipped with a power
supply cord with a 3-prong grounding plug,
which must be plugged into a mating 3-prong
grounding-type wall receptacle. Refer to the
illustration below. Follow the National
Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances
when installing the receptacle. For location of
the electrical supply, refer to the Rough
Opening Dimensions illustration on page 6.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
A ground fault circuit
interrupter (GFCI) is not recommended and
may cause interruption of operation.

with appropriate material to avoid any
damage from moving the unit.

SUB-ZERO MODEL 315W INSTALLATION
LEVELING THE UNITBLOCKING FOR SAFETY
A metal antip-tip bracket and screws are
provided with the unit. Attach the anti-tip
bracket to the top of the unit, opposite the
hinge side. The bracket offset flange should be
facing up with the two oblong holes also in the
front. Once the unit is moved into position,
open the door and secure the anti-tip bracket
to the countertop. Refer to illustration below.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
The unit must be leveled
prior to placing it in the rough opening.
There are four leveling legs on the Model
315W, one at each corner. To assist you in
adjusting the front leveling legs up or down,
tip the unit back slightly to allow access to
leveling legs. Use a pliers and place around
the leveling leg, or use a screwdriver and turn
the front leg to make necessary adjustments.
To level the unit, turn the leveling legs counter-
clockwise to raise the unit, or clockwise to
lower it. Refer to the illustration below.
To assist you in proper leveling, we recom-
mend using a 2' (.6 m) level. There are two
recommended level locations: along the top of
the unit or on either exterior side of the unit.
These positions will help determine the vertical
and horizontal level point. In order to access
these leveling positions, the unit will have to
be slightly out of the opening.
Place the unit in the rough opening. Make sure
the power cord is plugged in before position-
ing the unit. Turn the power back on to the
electrical outlet.
Shut off the power to the electrical outlet.
Anti-tip bracket Adjusting leveling legs
To prevent the unit from tipping forward
if multiple loaded bottle racks are pulled
out at one time, and to provide a stable
installation, the unit must be secured in
place with an anti-tip device.

SUB-ZERO MODEL 315W INSTALLATION
PANEL CONSIDERATIONS
The Model 315W offers two door panel design
alternatives; stainless steel (/S) or overlay (/O).
Both of these design options are available with
glass (G) doors.
Model 315W/S (classic stainless steel) is
shipped from the factory with the decorative
stainless steel door panel and matching handle
in place.
The Model 315W/O (overlay) door is designed
to accept a decorative door panel to match
surrounding cabinetry. The door panel and the
handle will be provided by the customer.
For overlay panel handle hardware, we recom-
mend a D-style handle, centered top to bottom
along the edge opposite the hinge. You may
have to countersink screw heads to ensure
hardware does not interfere with panels fitting
flush with unit doors.
Before beginning installation, check for the
correct components for the fit and finish
desired.
If you have questions, contact your Sub-Zero
dealer or cabinet supplier. Additional panel
information can be found in the Sub-Zero
Design Guide. Check our website at
subzero.com.
KICKPLATE INSTALLATION
Once the Model 315W is in place, you can
install the kickplate. There is some adjustment
to the mounting assembly so that the kickplate
will fit flush with the surrounding area. Be sure
that nothing obstructs the vents of the kick-
plate. Refer to the illustration below.
The kickplate can be painted another color, if
you choose. Follow these easy steps:
Rough up surface to be painted with fine
grit sandpaper
Wipe with alcohol to ensure it is clean and
dry
Use an appliance or industrial grade oil
base, or high gloss enamel paint
IMPORTANT NOTE:
The Model 315W has
been designed to be serviced in place, but in
some cases it may be necessary to pull the
unit out for service. For this reason, do not
restrict access to the cabinet at the front top
and bottom.
If a floor is to be installed after the unit has
been installed, spacing shims equal to the
thickness of the floor should be installed under
the unit to keep it level with the floor.
Kickplate installation
DO NOT cover the kickplate area.
Dimensions in parentheses are in
millimeters unless otherwise specified.10
SUB-ZERO MODEL 315W INSTALLATION
Inspect the door panel for the minimum 5/8"
(16) thickness, the finished inside edge and the
10 lbs (5 kg) weight limit. See the Wine
Storage section of the Sub-Zero Design Guide
for additional panel information. Check our
website at subzero.com.
Decide if the handle will be attached through
the glass door frame or just through the deco-
rative door panel. If it is just through the door
panel, the handle must be attached first.
If you choose not to use the pre-drilled handle
mounting holes, it will be necessary to fasten
the handle from the rear of the door panel
only, or drill one or more additional holes
through the metal frame of the glass door.

A solid panel must not be installed on a
