Transporting
The appliance is heavy and must be handled with caution during transportation and installation. Because of the weight and dimensions of the appliance, at least two persons are necessary to move the appliance into position securely and avoid injuries to people or damage to the appliance.

General measures

Note: With the legs fully retracted the appliance has a minimum dimension of 34 1/8” from top to bottom. The legs can be extended up to 1/2” (13mm).

Installation location

A dry, well-ventilated room is suitable as an installation location. The installation location should not be exposed to direct sunlight and not be placed near a heat source, e.g. a  cooker, radiator, etc.
If installation next to a heat source is unavoidable, use a suitable insulating plate or observe the following minimum distance from the heat source:

• To electric or gas oven/range 1¼” (3 cm).
• To an oil or coal-fired cooker 11 13/16” (30cm).
• To another Refrigerator or Wine Reserve 1” (2.54cm).
  The floor of the installation location must not give way; if necessary, reinforce floor. The appliance must be upright and level to function correctly.
  For proper operation and appearance of the unit, the cabinet opening should be square and have dimensions as shown in the next diagrams.

Installing Side-by-Side
The appliance can be installed beside another Thermador appliance. Follow the next dimensions and notes for the correct installation of the appliance in a side-by-side layout.
NOTE: Before placing the unit into the niche, adhere the Insulating Foam (included with the product) on the side of the unit that will be placed next to the additional appliance.  Be sure that the Insulating Foam is even with the surface of the unit and that there are no bubbles or bumps on the Insulation Foam after adhering it to the unit.

Two Double Drawer Refrigerators are side-by-side.

One Double Drawer and one swing door appliance: opening of the door should be opposite to the Double Drawer to avoid interference or damage by hitting.

Do not place a swing door appliance with the opening of the door right beside the Double Drawer.
The drawers and the door may impact each other damaging the units.

Ventilation

The Refrigerator unit is ventilated only at the Toe-Kick in the base. Never cover that area or place anything in front of it. Otherwise, the refrigeration cooling performance will be affected, and the unit must work harder to increase power consumption.

Connecting the appliance

After installing the appliance, wait at least 1 hour to turn on the appliance. During transportation, the oil in the compressor may have flowed into the refrigeration system.
Before switching ON the appliance for the first time, clean the interior of the appliance (see chapter “Cleaning the appliance” in the Use & Care Guide).

Electrical connection
WARNING:
These installation instructions are intended for use by qualified installers.
WARNING:
Avoid the risk of an electric shock!
Insert into a grounded receptacle.
Never remove the grounding phase.
Do not use any adapters.
Do not use any extension cords.
WARNING:
It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure that the appliance installation is in compliance with all national and local electrical codes and ordinances. Non-compliance with these instructions may result in death, fire, or an electric shock.

The receptacle must be near the appliance, 61” (1550mm) to the right of the appliance or 37” (940mm) to the left of the appliance, and also freely accessible following installation of the appliance for future service.

The appliance complies with protection class I. Connect the appliance to 115 V/ 60Hz alternating current via a correctly installed receptacle with the grounded terminal.
The appliance comes with a UL registered 3-wire power cord NEMA 5-15p type. The appliance requires a 3-pole receptacle.

WARNING:
Never connect the appliance to electronic energy saver plugs.
This appliance can be used with mains and sine-controlled inverters. Main controlled inverters are used for photovoltaic systems which are connected directly to the national grid.
Sine-controlled inverters must be used for isolated applications (e.g. on ships or in mountain lodges) which are not connected directly to the national grid.
The appliance requires a 3-pole socket. The socket should be connected by a qualified electrician only.
Where there is a 2-pole standard wall socket, it is the responsibility of the customer to have this socket replaced with a correctly grounded 3-pole wall socket. Do not use any adapter plugs.
Be sure that the location of your refrigerator has a near and accessible electric socket.

It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only your refrigerator be provided. Use an outlet that cannot be turned off by a switch. Do not use an extension cord.
A 2-pole standard wall socket must be replaced with a 3-pole grounded socket. Do not use adapters.

The appliance includes two anti-tip brackets. If your cabinetry is not designed for the specific dimensions of your appliance, or if you plan to use the appliance as a free-standing unit, you should use these brackets to avoid your appliance tilting due to unbalanced overweight situations where both drawers are opened at the same time.

WARNING:
To avoid the appliance tilting due to unbalanced overweight do not open both drawers at the same time.
Always close one drawer before pull out another.

For free-standing use

1. Consider the distance necessary for the appliance to be flush with the front of your cabinetry. If there is no cabinetry, put the unit close to the wall, then take the measurement of the space at the back, between the unit and the wall.

2. Based on the measured distance between the back of the unit and the wall, bend the anti-tip bracket (included with the unit) from the pointed lines to form a “step” with the same distance measured.
   

3. Peel the adhesive foam and paste the anti-tip bracket at both sides on the back of the appliance as shown in the illustrations.
   

4. With the anti-tip brackets pasted on the back of the appliance, slide the appliance to the wall until the anti-tip bracket is touching the wall.
   Using the screws provided, fasten the anti-tip bracket to the wall for both sides.
   NOTE: Do not fasten the unit to drywall. Be sure to attach the unit to a solid surface.
   

For under-counter use

1. Consider the distance necessary for the appliance to be flush with the front of your cabinetry.

2. Take the measurement from the top of the cabinet of the unit to the bottom of the counter.
   The measurement X”(mm) may vary depending on the design of the counter, an extension of the legs of the product, etc.
   

3. Based on the Distance = X” (mm) between the appliance and the counter, bend the anti-tip brackets included with the appliance on the pointed lines to form a “step”  1/16” (2mm) smaller than the Distance = X” (mm) measured.
   

4. Peel the adhesive foam and paste the anti-tip-bracket at the front on the top of the cabinet of the appliance, near the corners as shown in the picture:
   

5. Slide the appliance into the cabinet until the front of the appliance is flush with the front of the cabinetry. Check that nothing interferes or obstructs the anti-tip bracket while sliding under the counter.
   

Installing the overlay panel

(For T24UR905DP models only)
If you plan to install a custom overlay panel, you will need to create the panel yourself or consult a qualified cabinetmaker or carpenter.
A full-sized template for easier marking the hole pattern is included in the manual package.
IMPORTANT:

• The thickness of both the overlay panels must be ¾” (19mm).
• The overlay panel must not weigh more than 10lbs (4.54kg) each.
• Overlay panels weighing more than recommended may cause damage to your appliance.
• It is recommended to have the help of a second person to install the panel.
• Use the recommended tools in the installation manual to facilitate the installation of the panel. Failure to use the recommended tools or the help of a second person may result in damage to the panel and/or the appliance.
• To install the panel, use only the screws included in the “Installation Kit”.
  Create the custom overlay panel using the dimensions shown.

Top Panel:

Bottom drawer:

1. Install the custom handle of your preference on the overlay panel before installing the panel on the drawer.
   – Every custom handle is different and it is the responsibility of the customer to make the necessary adjustments to place the handle on the overlay panel.
   – The screws used to affix the custom handle to the panel must be flat and flush with the surface of the panel (Fig A); if the screws are not flat, then consider making a  recession on the overlay, enough to hide the head of the screw below the surface of the overlay, otherwise the screws will interfere with the correct placement of the overlay  on the drawer (Fig B).
   

2. Remove the gasket from the top corners of the door pulling it gently. Under the gasket in each corner, there is a recess with a guide to breaking through to use as screw positions for the panel. It is not necessary to remove all the gasket, only a portion enough to make the recess accessible. After the gasket is moved break through the guides, and make sure not to damage the gasket.
   Using the screws and supports included in the “installation kit”, position the support in the recess and secure the overlay panel screwing it from the inside of the drawer through the same hole left by the removed screw until the panel is firmly attached to the draw.
   

3. After securing the overlay to the drawer, put the gasket back in its place pressing it against its channel on the drawer until all the gasket is even and back in place.
   Repeat the same steps for the other drawer.
   Now, the overlay panels are ready.
