Before you move your refrigerator into its final location, it is important to make sure you have the proper electrical connection. INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS The information in this design guide provides key features, product dimensions, cutouts and installation specifications. Before installing a Thermador Side-by-Side, be sure to verify the cabinet dimensions and electrical connections. SIDE PANELS Although the refrigerator will typically be installed in a cutout enclosed by cabinetry, custom side panels may be needed when not enough space is available to have cabinets on both sides of the refrigerator or when the refrigerator is placed at the end of a cabinet run. For proper planning, please refer to page 273. RECOMMENDED GROUNDING METHOD A 115 Volt, 60 Hz., AC only, 15- or 20-Amp fused, grounded electrical supply is required. 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. Important: If this product is connected to a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) protected outlet, nuisance tripping of the power supply may occur, resulting in loss of cooling. Food quality and flavor may be affected. If nuisance tripping has occurred, and if the condition of the food appears poor, dispose of it. ELECTRICAL LOCATION Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician. Installation, electrical connections and grounding must comply with all applicable local codes. 4" (10.2 cm) WATER LOCATION WARRANTY Limited two-year warranty—for two years from date of original purchase, we will provide, free of charge, parts and service labor in your home to repair or replace any part of the refrigerator that fails because of a manufacturing defect. Limited warranty on sealed refrigeration system**; parts and labor (3rd–6th year) Limited warranty on sealed refrigeration system; parts only (7th–12th year) See page 308 for additional warranty details. **Sealed refrigeration system includes compressor, evaporator, condenser, dryer/strainer and connecting tubing. All installations must meet local plumbing code requirements. The water shut-off should be located in the base cabinet on either side of 1" 6" (2.54 cm) the refrigerator or some other easily (15.2 cm) 24" accessible area. The right-hand side is (60.96 cm) min. recommended. The access hole through the cabinet must be within 1/2" (13 mm) of the rear wall. 6" (15.2 cm) 6" (15.2 cm) If the water shut-off valve is not in the cabinets, the plumbing for the water line can come through the floor or the back wall and must be at an angle so that the tube is not kinked when the refrigerator is pushed into its final position. When installing through the floor, a 1/2" (13 mm) hole for plumbing should be drilled at least 6" (152 mm) from the right or left hand side cabinet or panel. On the floor, the hole should be no more than 1" (25 mm) away from the back wall. If additional tubing is needed, use copper tubing and check for leaks. Install the copper tubing only in areas where the household temperatures will remain above freezing. Do not use a piercing-type or 3/16" (4.76 mm) saddle valve which reduces water flow and clogs more easily. The refrigerator dealer has a kit available with a 1/4" (6.35 mm) saddle-type shut-off valve, a union, and copper tubing. Before purchasing, make sure a saddle-type valve complies with your local plumbing codes. 272 2311⁄16 " (60.3 cm) 241⁄8 " (61.3 cm) 7⁄32 "3⁄16 " (5.5 (4.7mm) mm) 231⁄2 " (59.7 cm) SIDE-BY-SIDE PLANNING INFORMATION 7⁄32 " 3⁄16mm) " (5.5 (4.7 mm) 231⁄2 " (59.7 cm) 5⁄8 " 13⁄32 " (107⁄32mm) " (15.7 mm) (5.5 mm) SIDE PANELS INSET INSTALLATION DIMENSIONS Custom side panels may be needed when not enough space is available to have cabinets on both sides of the refrigerator or when the refrigerator is placed at the end of a cabinet run.
