Adjust Doors
Door Height Adjustment
Use the following steps to adjust the door height, up or down,
after the doors have been leveled.
1. Open the freezer or refrigerator door. Remove the door stop
screw from the bottom side of the bottom hinge.
2. Remove the locking plate as shown.
3. Turn the bushing located underneath the bottom of the hinge
using the open-end wrench. Turning the bushing to the left
(counterclockwise) will raise the door. Turning the bushing
right (clockwise) will lower the door.
4. After adjusting, make sure the doors are even at the top and
bottom. If the doors are not even, continue to turn the bushing
to adjust the door height.
5. Replace the locking plate.
6. Turn the bushing slightly to align the hinge and locking plate
screw holes.
7. Replace the door stop screw or screws and tighten.
8. Recheck to make sure the doors are aligned and even.
Door Swing Adjustment
1. Check that the refrigerator door can open freely. If the door
opens too wide or you are installing full-overlay custom panels
using a Trimless Trim Kit, you should adjust the door swing.
2. Remove the door stop screw or screws (depending on your
model) from the bottom hinge. See “Door Height Adjustment”
earlier in this section.
3. Hold the door open to a position that is less than 90°.
4. Replace the door stop screw or screws in the bottom hinge
and tighten.
NOTE: If you are using full-overlay custom panels with the
Trimless Trim Kit, the door stop should be replaced in either
the 90° or 110° position. See “Handle and Door Clearances for
Custom Panel Series.”
Install Side Panel
If the built-in area depth is 25" (63.5 cm) or more, the side panels
can be installed inside the side trim or attached to the outside of
the side trim.
IMPORTANT: Thermador is not responsible for the removal or
addition of molding or decorative panels that would not allow
access to the refrigerator for service.
1. For the inside side trim piece, slide the front edge of the
routed side panel into the trim piece.
2. Nail the rear edge of the panel to the support board.
Install Base Grille
There are two pieces to the base grille to allow for a custom fit: the
base grille itself and the skirt. The skirt can be added to the base
grille in order to extend it all the way to the floor.
1. Open the refrigerator door and measure the distance from the
bottom of the refrigerator cabinet to the floor.
