Sub-Zero Short Vacation Mode
Topics:
- Classic (BI, CL) refrigeration Short Vacation Mode
- Set Short Vacation Mode
- Designer (IT, IC, ID, DET, DEC) refrigeration Short Vacation Mode
- Designer Undercounter (DEU) Short Vacation Mode
Answer:
Classic (BI, CL), Designer (IT, IC, ID, DET, DEC) and Designer Undercounter (DEU) products can be set to Short Vacation Mode only if the appliance is connected using the Sub-Zero Group Owner's App.
- In this mode, the freezer temperature increases from the current setpoint to 5°F, and the refrigerator is set to 34°F.
- It is not possible to set this mode using the unit control panel. It must be set using the mobile app.
- This mode allows for high food preservation with low energy consumption and does not require removal of foods.
Short Vacation Mode is designed for short-term non-use of the appliance (1 week or less):
- The smart grid icon will appear, and "VA So" will be shown in place of unit temperatures.

To set Short Vacation Mode in the Sub-Zero Group Owner's App:
- Open the app.
- In My Appliances, tap the appliance.
- Tap the Mode tile. The Mode tile is typically set to Mode: Normal.
- Tap the SHORT VACATION radio button.
- Tap Save. The Mode tile now says SHORT VACATION.
- The unit will stay in Short Vacation Mode until the mode is changed on the app.
