Installing Side-by-Side

The appliance can be installed next to 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.

Install the appliances in a “French Door” configuration; appliances with Left Hinge should be opposite to another with Right Hinge.

Measurements in inches (mm)

Do not place one appliance with Right Hinge next to an appliance with a Left Hinge.

Ventilation

The Glass Door 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 increasing 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 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 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 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 Glass Door Refrigerator has a near and accessible electric socket.

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

Door opening.
The door of your Glass Door Refrigerator is configured by default to have an aperture up to 115°. This makes for easy access to shelves for loading or cleaning. However, if the appliance is installed under
counter, it is recommended to install the Door Stopper Pins in the hinge to avoid hitting the wall, cabinets or another appliance installed next to the Glass Door Refrigerator. To install the Door Stopper Pin follow the next instructions

Open the door at <90° and position yourself near the bottom hinge of your appliance.
Grab the stopper pin from the bag included with this appliance and insert into the hole as shown:
Push firmly to ensure the stopper pin has locked into the hinge.

Now, the door opens only 90°.

Installing the anti-tip-brackets

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 the door is open.

For free-standing use

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.
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.

Resultant formed “step”.
NOTE: The adhesive foam must be at the bottom of the step, never on the reverse side.
Peel the adhesive foam and paste the anti-tip-bracket at both sides on the back of the appliance as shown in the illustrations
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

Consider the distance necessary for the appliance to be flush with the front of your cabinetry.
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, extension of the legs of the product, etc.
Based on the Distance = X” (mm) between the appliance and the counter, bend the anti-tipbrackets included with the appliance on the pointed lines to form a “step” 1/16” (2mm) smaller
than the Distance = X” (mm) measured

Resultant formed “step”.
NOTE: The adhesive foam must be at the bottom of the step, never on the reverse side
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
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 frame

(For T24UR905LP and T24UR905RP models only) If you plan to install a custom overlay frame, you will need to create the frame yourself or consult a qualified cabinetmaker or carpenter. A full sized template for easier hole pattern marking is included in the manual package.

IMPORTANT:

– The thickness of the overlay frame must be ¾” (19mm).
– Overlay frame must not weigh more than 10lbs (4.54kg).
– Overlay frame weighing more than recommended may cause damage to your appliance.
– To install the frame, use only the screws included in the “installation kit”.
Create the custom overlay frame using the dimensions shown

IMPORTANT:

The following graphics shows a custom frame for a door with hinges installed on the righthand side. If your Glass Door Refrigerator has hinges installed on the left-hand side, rotate the custom
frame 180° so the makings will be on the left.

For detailed dimensions, see the frame specifications in Addendum A.

IMPORTANT: It is recommended to install the custom overlay frame with the help of another person.

Install the custom handle of your preference on the overlay frame before installing the frame on the door.
– 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 frame.
– The screws used to affix the custom handle to the frame must be flat and flush with the surface of the frame; 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 door.
Locate and identify every pair of holes on the overlay frame corresponding with the holes on the door. Every hole must be aligned to screw and fasten the overlay to the door
Remove the door gasket from the corners, by pulling it gently until the four screws are visible.
Then remove the two screws further to the corner. The two holes shown on the below illustration must be accessible to screw (install) the custom overlay frame to the door. There should be 8
accessible holes in total, two per corner.
NOTE: It is not necessary to remove the entire gasket from the door, just from the corner, enough to access to the screws.
Align the overlay frame with the door and hold them firmly together while screwing them. It may be easier with the help of another person to hold and keep the frame in place while fastening.
Using the 8 screws included in the installation kit, fasten the overlay frame to the door.
Once the overlay frame is securely attached to the door with the 8 screws, put the gasket back in its place pressing it against the door until all is even and firm into its channel.
Now, the overlay frame is ready
