FREEdOM REFRIGERATION FREEdOM® COLLECTION PLANNING INFORMATION dOOR SWIVEL RANGE For proper kitchen planning, it is absolutely essential the kitchen planer carefully check for refrigerator door collision avoidance with adjacent cabinets (especially with their door handles!), countertops, pilasters, neighboring walls or other kitchen elements. The illustrations below depict the door swivel range of the Freedom® Collection refrigerator doors including mounted door panels of both 3/4" and 1 1/2" in thickness. Make sure that the refrigerators are installed in such a way that the doors will not have any collision when opened. In the event of interference causing collision problems, you have several options to overcome this: - Limiting the refrigerator door opening angle to 90° - Reducing the appliance door panel thickness by changing the design / using a stainless steel version (3/4" panel thickness). - Installing a spacer between the refrigerator and the kitchen element that creates the collision problem. - Rearranging the kitchen element that creates the problem - Creating a protruding niche for the refrigerator dOOR SWIVEL RANGE - 3/4" (19 MM) FLUSH APPLIANCE dOOR PANEL dOOR SWIVEL RANGE - 1 1/2" (38 MM) FLUSH APPLIANCE dOOR PANEL 1.800.735.4328 | THERMADOR.COM 223
