SUGGESTED COMBINATIONS

FREEDOM

Thermador‘s Freedom® Collection uses independent columns that create unlimited exibility in both function and design. Some suggested pairings are listed below. A special kit is included with all freezer columns to simplify traditional side-by-side refrigerator / freezer combinations.

FREEDOM® COLLECTION

INSTALLATION OPTIONS

The Freedom® Collection offers a variety of installation possibilities*. In some instances, special accessories are required.

RECOMMENDED INSTALLATIONS CONSIDERATIONS

STANDALONE

SIDE-BY-SIDE

SPLIT COLUMNS WITH PARTITION

Any Freedom appliance can be installed as a stand-alone unit. Ensure a cutout ush to the appliance at a depth of minimum 4" (102 mm), preferably 6" (152 mm) on the top and sides.

When two appliances are installed side-by-side a sealing kit must be used. For combinations that involve a freezer column, this kit is provided. For all other (non-traditional) side-by-side combinations or instances where any appliances are installed less than 6" (152 mm) apart from one another but not connected side-by-side, purchase the Heater Kit (HEATRKIT10).

When dimensioning the partition, note the thickness of the door panel (including handles) as well as the swivel range to prevent damage if the doors are opened at the same time. (See page 247 for details on door swivel range dimensions)

Three appliances can be installed together only if a partition— minimum Ensure that door panel thickness (including handles) as well as the swivel range are accounted for.

/8" (16 mm)—is placed between two of the appliances.

AT THE END OF A CABINETRY RUN

All Freedom appliances must be completely enclosed on the top and sides. If one side of the appliance is visible, a decorative side panel must be used. The side panel must be connected rmly to the wall, the oor and any overhead furniture / xtures before the appliance is placed in the cutout.

NOT RECOMMENDED CONCERNS

It is absolutely essential to ensure that the appliance is installed in such a way that the doors do not interfere with an adjacent wall or other kitchen elements. (See page 247 for details on door swivel range dimensions)

A partition—minimum 5/8" (16 mm)—is required to ensure the doors do not interfere with one another when opened. Use a partition to separate appliances and observe the door swivel range. (See page 247 for details on door swivel range dimensions)

A Thermador French Door Bottom Freezer cannot be connected side-by-side with any other appliance. Use a partition to separate appliances and observe the door swivel range. (See page 247 for details on door swivel range dimensions)

*The Thermador warranty shall apply only to recommended installations.

FREEDOM

INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS

LOCATION

The appliance should be installed in a dry, ventilated room. It may not be installed outdoors. The ambient temperature of the room must be between 55°F (13°C) and 100°F (43°C).

The appliance should not be exposed to constant direct sunlight or excessive heat. If installation next to a heat source, such as an oven, radiator, etc. is unavoidable, use a suitable insulating plate or observe the following minimum distances from the heat source:

/4" (30 mm) from an electric cooking appliance,

– 1

/16" (300 mm) from an oil or solid-fuel cooking

– 11

appliance.

INSTALLATION AND CUTOUT DIMENSIONS

Please see pages 241–245 for complete cutout planning information.

It is important to observe the specied dimensions of the installation cutout for a trouble-free installation of the appliance and for the subsequent appearance of the door panel.

– In particular ensure that the cutout is square.

Squareness can be checked by suitable means, e.g. spirit level, diagonal measurements, etc.

– The side walls of the cutout must be ush. The

minimum thickness of the side and top walls is (16 mm). The minimum thickness of toekick panel is 1/4" (6 mm).

/8"

FURNITURE / FIXTURES

During installation, the appliance is fastened to adjacent and overhead furniture / xtures and it is therefore essential that all such furniture / xtures are well secured to the substructure or adjacent wall.

FLOORING / SUBSTRUCTURE

On account of the heavy weight of a fully loaded appliance, a load-bearing substructure is required. To ensure correct installation and function, the support must be at, level and made of hard, rigid material. If in doubt, contact an architect or a building expert.

Refer to the following table for load-bearing capacity:

APPLIANCE LOAD BEARING CAPACITY

24-Inch Fresh Food Column 890 lbs. / 400 kg
