Classic Meets Modern

For the very first time, Sub-Zero is releasing the entirely reimagined Classic and Designer Series products together. With a bevy of innovations and exciting features that apply to both series, Sub-Zero is raising the bar for excellence in refrigeration.

With improved performance features and interior aesthetic enhancements, the Classic and Designer Series provide a single story on food preservation: best in class. Sub-Zero offers the widest selection of refrigeration solutions, providing true design flexibility to complement, anchor, or disappear completely into your décor.

The Classic Series’ iconic grille has served as an irrefutable badge of Sub-Zero’s quality for over six decades. While this distinct symbol of its predecessor’s pioneering performance remains, the completely redesigned Classic Series—with its fresh suite of innovative features—reaches new levels of refinement both inside and out.

The newly reimagined Sub-Zero Designer Series is just as seamless and subtle as before. Now, however, its sophisticated aesthetic rivals only that of its performance. Hidden behind fully integrated panels, you will find a mesmerizing collection of features highlighting the line’s seamless, sophisticated look and superior capabilities.

Split Decision

Sub-Zero, the Preservation Specialist, just found a way to make food last even longer. The newly invented Split Climate™ Intelligent Cooling System revolutionizes Sub-Zero’s already-superior preservation capabilities, keeping food even fresher for longer thanks to a variable-speed compressor and two fans that consistently optimize the refrigerator temperature within one degree of set point. 

Two independently controlled zones provide the flexibility for precise temperature control and optimized humidity within the refrigerator. These two microclimates—upper cavity and crisper drawer—create a tailored preservation system to keep food fresher, longer.

Touching Base

Control your refrigerator with the touch of a finger and conveniently customize settings—from lighting to humidity—with a tap. The Touch Control Panel has been relocated for greater accessibility, now located at the waist level above the crisper drawers.

Some Light on the Subject

Customers expressed that they wanted “to see light, not lights,” and Sub-Zero’s design and engineering teams responded. The new ClearSight™ LED Lighting system fully illuminates the interior, adding light where it’s needed most—overhead, under each shelf, and in each crisper drawer. Even when brimming with food, the consistent lighting fills the entire unit, and the gleaming white interior reflects light back into the space, eliminating dark spots and reducing shadows.

Importantly, LED lights are fully enclosed and sealed from liquid migration inside or on the surface of the glass shelf. Owners can wash and clean shelves as normal, as they are engineered to be submerged in water for up to thirty minutes.

Customers also asked for automatic brightness adjustments. Thus, the new Night Mode optimizes the interior lighting based on the detected ambient light, reducing the brightness by 90 percent in dim environments. 

Sleek and Stainless

Streamlined stainless accents now trim the interior, matching the sophistication of the exterior, giving customers the kind of luxury they can see, feel, and touch both inside and out.

Incorporating the iconic Sub-Zero stainless aesthetics, Stainless Accents trim all shelves, crisper drawers, and door bins in both Classic and Designer Series units.

Custom Fit

Sub-Zero customers appreciate greater interior flexibility that can accommodate and best fit their needs. Reimagined Refrigerator and Freezer interiors allow for greater storage customization.

Needing to store taller items? Lift the base of the flip-up dairy compartment to securely store items upright, eliminating the need for tipping them on their side.

Position adjustable shelves—on the inside of the door and within the refrigerator—at various heights to create customizable configurations to best meet your storage needs.

Flexible features are also available in the freezer of Classic Series French Door models, including an Expandable Freezer Basket to accommodate taller items. The base of the basket conveniently slides out of the way, providing a unique storage solution.

A Fold-Up Freezer Shelf, conveniently located beside the compact ice maker, is available in the Classic Series Side-by-Side models, folding up or down to maximize storage space flexibility. (Extra ice cream, anyone?)
