Electronic Control System

The sophisticated electronic control system of yourintegrated unit provides you with the best control of yourrefrigerated foods. By maintaining recommended refrigera-tor and freezer temperatures, you can keep food safe andretain the best quality possible.

A microprocessor accurately controls the temperature ofthe cooling zones. It samples the temperature everysecond and makes adjustments to maintain the tempera-ture you have indicated.

The electronic control panel is located on the top of thetall units and in the top drawer of the base units. All of theessential controls and information are displayed in thiseasy-to-reach-and-see panel. Refer to the illustrationsbelow for location of the electronic control panel. Notethat for single zone units and units that cannot support anice maker, the electronic control panel will be slightlydifferent.

LCD DISPLAY

The liquid crystal display (LCD) located on the electroniccontrol panel shows the actual temperature of differentzones in your unit.

If there is a temperature or ice maker problem, you’ll bealerted by a flashing SERVICE indicator light in the LCDdisplay.

TEMPERATURE CONTROL

Integrated units are factory preset to maintain refrigeratorzones at 38°F (3°C) and freezer zones at 0°F (-18°C). Thetemperature range for refrigerator zones is 34°F (1°C) to45°F (7°C) and the temperature range for freezer zones is-5°F (-21°C) to +5°F (-15°C).

For combination units, there are two sets of WARMER andCOLDER key pads on the electronic control panel. One isfor the upper refrigerator zone and the other for the lowerfreezer drawers. Models 700TR and 736TR also have twosets of key pads, one for the upper zone and the other forthe drawers. Single zone refrigerator and freezer unitshave only one set of WARMER and COLDER key pads.

The COLDER key pad allows you to decrease the temper-ature of a selected zone in one-degree increments.

Similar to the COLDER key pad, you can raise the temper-ature in any zone in one-degree increments by pressingthe WARMER key pad.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Always allow 24 hours for the unit toreach the temperature you set.

Integrated Use & Care 14

Cleaning

Like all kitchen appliances, it is necessary to keep yourintegrated unit clean to ensure smooth operation and keepfood safe. Clean any spills on the interior with a mildsolution of soap and warm water. Do not use abrasivecleaners, as these may scratch interior surfaces.

STAINLESS STEEL EXTERIOR

To clean the exterior of the classic and platinum stainlesssteel finishes, use a soft, nonabrasive stainless steelcleaner like Signature polish and apply with a soft 100%lint-free cloth. Signature polish is available from SignatureLimited Laboratory, P. O. Box 13436, Dayton, Ohio 45413,or call 877-376-5474.

Carbon stainless steel can be cleaned with mild soap andwater.

The carbon stainless steel finish uses the interest ofbrushed steel to bring out the maximum metallic luster ofits charcoal background. Different light types and sourcelocations can result in variations in shading on differentcomponents and areas of large appliances. These varia-tions are normal with the carbon finish and add to theunique character of colored stainless steel.

To bring out the natural luster of all three finishes, lightlywipe the surface with a water-dampened microfiber clothfollowed by a dry polishing chamois. All work shouldfollow the grain direction of the finish. Better results areobtained by keeping the cloth in continuous contact withthe stainless steel.

INTERIOR CLEANING

To clean interior surfaces and removable parts, wash witha mild solution of soap and lukewarm water with a littlebaking soda. Do not use vinegar or alcohol-basedcleaners. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Avoid getting water onthe lights, electronic control panel and LCD display.

GLASS SHELVES

All refrigerator and freezer top compartment glass shelvesare dishwasher safe. They may also be cleaned with amild solution of soap and warm water. Rinse and drythoroughly.

Under no circumstances should you use a metallicor highly abrasive cleaner or cloth, as this willremove the carbon finish or scratch the classic orplatinum finishes.

Do not submerge or pour hot water over cold glassshelves. Allow them to come to room temperaturebefore cleaning. Extreme temperature may cause theglass to break.

Keeping Food At Its Best 17

subzero.com

Keeping Food Fresh

Your Sub-Zero unit features our unique dual compressorrefrigeration system to keep food fresher longer. However,the quality and safety of your food also depends on howyou handle it.

The information in this section gives you the most up-to-date handling and storage recommendations to help youkeep food at its best. If you have specific questions thatare not addressed here, contact a University or CountyExtension Service or your local utility company.

Most food inevitably deteriorates over time. From the verybeginning until it is consumed, food undergoes changes.Microorganisms get into food, multiply and cause spoiling.

Enzymes that occur naturally in food continue the ripeningprocess even after the food is harvested. Impropertemperatures cause food to deteriorate faster. Changesin humidity cause wilting and shriveling that can lead tospoiling.

Sub-Zero’s dual refrigeration system is specificallydesigned to combat these changes and keep your foodfresh longer. The individual refrigerator and freezersystems have been designed to maintain accurate,consistent temperatures and proper humidity levels forlonger food life expectancy. Dual refrigeration eliminatestransfer of fresh food odors to frozen food or ice and doesnot freeze the moisture out of the air in the fresh foodsection.

In addition, good handling practices can minimize the rateof changes in food.

HANDLING RECOMMENDATIONS

• Follow the recommended storage times and tempera-tures in this guide. Your Sub-Zero unit helps to slowthe ripening process by tailoring temperatures to eachsection as needed.

• Use specially designed compartments for dairy foods,deli foods and fresh produce. These compartmentsmaintain temperature and humidity levels that keepspecific food groups fresh.

• Rotate food in refrigeration units, using a first-in,first-out system.

• When food does spoil, it’s usually obvious. It becomesmoldy, has an off-odor and looks rotten. But there aretimes when spoiling may not be so apparent. If youthink a food has been stored too long, discard it. Don’ttaste it to check if it’s okay.

Keeping Food At Its Best 18

Keeping Food Safe to Eat

Most food-borne illness is caused by bacteria such asStaphylococcus, Salmonella, E-coli and ClostridiumBotulinum (the bacteria that causes botulism). Thesebacteria grow rapidly at temperatures between 40°F (4°C)and 140°F (60°C), a range that’s called the Danger Zone.Never leave food in the danger zone for more than twohours. When the bacteria have multiplied to the millions inwarm temperatures, they cause illness. Some bacteriacause flu-like symptoms, while others cause seriousillness or even death. Young children, the elderly andpeople who are already ill are more likely to become sickfrom food poisoning.

To reduce your risk of food-borne illness, use the followingtechniques to keep your food safe to eat:

WHEN YOU’RE SHOPPING

• Place packages of raw meat, seafood or poultry inplastic bags to keep them from dripping on otherfoods.

• Shop for meat, seafood and poultry last. Don’t leavethese foods in a hot car when you’ve finishedshopping. Take along a cooler in hot weather or whenyou have to travel long distances.

• Check ‘use by’ and ‘sell by’ dates on foods to makesure they’re fresh. Use extra care when buying delifood. Buy only the amount you will use in 1–2 days.Discard hot or cold deli food that has been at roomtemperature for more than two hours.

WHEN YOU STORE FOOD

• Monitor temperatures of the refrigerator and freezersections on the electronic control panel of yourSub-Zero unit. Keep the refrigerator temperature at40°F (4°C) or below and freezer temperature at0°F (-18°C).

• Follow the recommended refrigerator and freezerstorage times and temperatures in this guide.

• Store raw meat, poultry and seafood separate fromother foods. Keep juices from these packages fromdripping on other food.

• Never taste food that looks or smells strange to test itsfreshness. Discard it.

• For refrigerator storage, leave raw meat, poultry andseafood in its original wrapper unless it is torn.Repeated handling can introduce bacteria to thesefoods.

• Wrap food stored in the refrigerator in foil or plasticwrap, or place it in plastic bags or airtight containers tokeep it from drying out. Date all packages.

• For freezer storage, use freezer wrap, freezer-qualityplastic bags or aluminum foil over the commercial wrapif foods will be stored in the freezer for more than acouple of months. This minimizes dehydration andquality loss. Single layers of aluminum foil may tearand cause freezer burn.

Keeping Food Safe to Eat

WHEN YOU PREPARE FOOD

• Clean everything that comes in contact with food.

• Wash your hands for 20 seconds before and afterhandling food.

• Sanitize counters, equipment and utensils afterhandling raw meat, seafood or poultry. Rinse with adiluted chlorine bleach solution of one teaspoon to onequart of water.

• Use clean kitchen towels, sponges and cloths. Replacesponges every few weeks.

• Use disposable plastic gloves if you have an infectedcut or burn on your hands.

• Thaw food in the refrigerator or microwave oven, noton the counter. When you thaw food in a microwaveoven, cook it immediately.

• Marinate food only in the refrigerator.

• Rinse poultry and seafood in cold water beforecooking.

• Avoid cross-contamination in preparing food. Keep rawmeat, poultry and seafood and their juices away fromother food. For example, don’t use the same surfaceand utensils for preparing raw meat, poultry andseafood that you use for preparing salad ingredients.

• Thoroughly clean your plastic and wooden cuttingboards. Wash with hot water and soap and rinse with adiluted chlorine bleach solution of one teaspoon to onequart of water.

WHEN YOU COOK FOOD

• Cook meat to an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C)or above and poultry to 180°F (80°C) or above. Forcuts more than two inches thick, use a meat ther-mometer to check the temperature. For thinner cuts,clear juices (not pink) are a sign of doneness.

• If you are cooking frozen meat or poultry that has notbeen defrosted, increase the cooking time to 11/2 timesthe time required for thawed items.

• Roast meats or poultry in oven temperatures of 325°F(165°C) or above.

• Cook eggs until the yolk and white are firm, not runny.

• Don’t use recipes in which eggs remain raw or partiallycooked.

• If your microwave has a temperature probe, use it.Check temperatures of meat and poultry in at leastthree spots. Rotate foods during microwaving.

• Don’t taste raw or partially cooked meat, poultry, eggsor fish.

WHEN YOU HAVE LEFTOVERS

• Refrigerate or freeze cooked leftovers in small, coveredcontainers within two hours after cooking. Make surethere is adequate air space around the containers sothat food can cool down quickly.

• Remove the stuffing from meat or poultry and store itseparately.

• Date packages of leftovers and use within a safeperiod of time.

• Cover and reheat leftovers thoroughly before serving.

• Bring sauces, soups and gravy to a boil. Heat otherfoods to 165°F (75°C).

• If you think food may be spoiled, discard it. When indoubt, throw it out.

Keeping Food At Its Best 20

Fresh Food Storage

Shelf life of fresh foods varies depending on how fresh it iswhen you buy it. To keep your food fresher longer, followthe recommended storage tips.

Vegetables: Wash vegetables in cool water and drain.Store in airtight containers or plastic wrap. Vegetablesstay fresh longer in high humidity storage.

Fruits: Wash and dry fresh fruits. Store more aromaticfruits in plastic bags. Most fruits stay fresh longer in lowhumidity storage.

Prepackaged meats: Store in original packaging. Afteropening, rewrap tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil.

Fresh meats, fish and poultry: Remove store wrappings,then rewrap in plastic wrap, foil or waxed paper and refrig-erate immediately.

Eggs: Store eggs unwashed in their carton or a portableegg tray. Use within three weeks.

Milk, cream and cottage cheese: Keep carton closed.Store on refrigerator shelf and use within 1–2 weeks.

Cheese: Store in original packaging until ready to use.After opening, rewrap tightly in plastic wrap or aluminumfoil.

Leftovers: Let cool and cover tightly with plastic wrap orfoil. Airtight plastic containers work well to prevent dryingout and odor transfer.

ETHYLENE

Some fruits and vegetables will produce ethylene, a gasthat initiates the ripening process. Ethylene can causepremature ripening in some foods, while in others, it canactually cause damage. To reduce unnecessary spoilageof your fresh produce, do not store ethylene producingfruits and vegetables with those that are ethylenesensitive. Refer to the chart on page 25.

Frozen Food Storage

Freezer storage: Wrap foods in material designed forfrozen food storage. The wrap must seal out air andmoisture. Do not refreeze thawed meats.

Ice cream: The firmness of the ice cream will depend onits cream content. Higher quality ice creams usually havea higher cream content, requiring colder freezer tempera-tures to maintain their firmness. Soft ice cream is notalways an indication of a temperature problem.

Make sure your refrigerator and freezer doors close freelyand completely. Overloading will affect temperaturesinside the unit. Do not fill your freezer with large quantitiesof unfrozen foods expecting them to fast freeze. Give thefreezer ample time to circulate cold air around unfrozenitems before adding additional items.

SUGGESTED FOOD STORAGE

The food storage charts on the following pages give youspecific information to help you keep food safe and keep itat its best quality. The recommended storage tempera-tures will help you determine optimal storage conditionsfor your food. As a general rule, food that is handledproperly and kept at temperatures below 40°F (4°C) will besafe to eat.

Storing food at temperatures below 40°F (4°C) keeps it outof the Danger Zone. The storage times for refrigerationwill help keep food from spoiling or becoming dangerousto eat. The time limits for frozen foods are to maintainflavor and texture. Food kept frozen longer than therecommended time will still be safe to eat, but its qualitymay diminish.

Frequently Asked Questions

ICE PRODUCTION

IMPORTANT NOTE: Make sure that the ice maker systemis on. If it is, the word ICE will be illuminated in the controlpanel display.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The first container filled with iceshould be discarded, as with any new connection theremay be impurities in the ice from the water supply line.

Q: My ice maker isn’t producing very much ice.

A: On average, you can expect a cycle of ice (eight cubesper cycle) every two hours.

Q: My ice is freezing together and clumping.

A: If ice is not used regularly it tends to fuse together. Youmay need to discard the ice and allow ice to be replen-ished. Some types of filter systems or incorrect waterpressure issues may cause this condition.

Q: My ice tastes funny and is discolored.

A: Sub-Zero integrated units do not have an integratedwater filtration system. Contact a local plumber todiscuss water filtration options.

NOISE

Q: Why do I hear my unit running constantly?

A: It is normal to hear the operation of fans and compres-sors. Sounds will be accentuated based on the place-ment of the unit and overall room design. Tall freezerunits use a variable speed compressor. With this high-efficiency design, it is normal for the compressor to runcontinuously and will actually use less energy than atypical on-off design.

TEMPERATURE

IMPORTANT NOTE: Unless the unit is being serviced,make sure the power for your unit is on.

Q: How do I adjust the temperatures?

A: To adjust temperatures, refer to temperature control onpage 9.

Q: What are the suggested temperature settings?

A: The recommended settings are 38°F (3°C) for refrigera-tor zones and 0°F (-18°C) for freezer zones.

Q: Condensation is forming on the inside and outside ofmy unit.

A: In climates with higher humidity, condensation will formand is considered normal. Leaving the door open for along period of time may also contribute to condensa-tion forming on the inside your unit.

Q: My unit isn’t cooling properly.

A: Clean the condenser area as outlined on page 15.

DOOR OPERATION

Q: Why is my door hard to open?

A: Your unit was designed for an airtight seal. A vacuumseal can form after the door is closed. Wait severalseconds for pressure to equalize before reopening thedoor.

Q: The door on my unit is opening too fast and hitting thewall or surrounding cabinets.

A: The unit may not be leveled properly or a door stopmay be required. To adjust the built-in door stop, referto 90° door stop on page 16.
