UNDER-COUNTER REFRIGERATION PLANNING INFORMATION MODEL OPTIONS The under-counter refrigeration series includes a glass door wine reserve (available with a right or left door swing) and a double refrigerator drawer unit. All units install fully flush to be seamlessly integrated into 24" depth cabinetry. Each unit is available custompanel ready or in stainless steel with a Masterpiece® or Professional Handle to complement the entire collection of Thermador appliances. 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 should stay between 55°F (13°C) and 110°F (43°C). The appliance should not be exposed to 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: - 1 1/4" (30 mm) from an electric cooking appliance, - 11 13/16" (300 mm) from an oil or solid-fuel cooking appliance. Ensure that the exterior air vent is not blocked by cabinetry or other elements. ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS The appliance comes with a 3-wire power supply cord, UL-listed in the USA and requires a 3-wire receptacle that is fitted with a 15- or 20-Amp fuse. The cord length is 50" (1270 mm). GROUNDING INSTRUCTION This appliance must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for the electric current. ADDITIONAL GROUNDING PROCEDURE Some local regulations may require a separate ground. In such cases, the required accessory ground wire, clamp and screw must be purchased separately. Never ground the appliance to plastic plumbing lines, gas lines or water pipes. A 4-conductor cord shall be used when the appliance is installed in an area where local codes do not permit grounding through the neutral. Power supply cord must be replaced by a licensed electrician only. WARNING Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor may result in electric shock. Have the appliance checked by a qualified electrician or service technician if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance has been properly grounded. ELECTRICAL LOCATION For standard 24" (610 mm) depth cutouts, the receptacle should be recessed in the rear wall or located to either side of the cutout. For deeper - 25" (635 mm) or greater - cutouts, the receptacle may be located on the rear wall, however, the recommended location for any depth cutout is to the right or left side of the cutout. If receptacle is placed outside of the cutout, a 2 1/2" (63 mm) diameter access hole is recommended to accommodate the 3-wire power supply cord. 400
