Installation Option The modular refrigerator and freezer column concept from Gaggenau offers you a variety of installation possiblities. In some instances, special accessories are required! Individual column installations At the end of a kitchen Note: If one side of the appliance is visible, a decorative side panel must be used for covering it. This side panel must be properly affixed to the floor and room wall. Side-by-Side installations (SxS) Note: The proper installation of any side-by-side two column combination requires an installation kit (RA 460-000). It combines two individual units into a side-by-side unit. Multiple column installations with partition walls between Note: If the thickness of a partition between two products is less than 6", then a heating kit (RA 460-010) is required. It must be installed on the right side wall of the left-side appliance. (see chapter installation accessories ) 10
Additional planning notes Installation accessories Our appliances are fixed at the top and bottom of the niche, on the side opposite the hinge. There is no fixation on the hinge side of the appliance, because the finger protection slides in between the appliance and the adjacent cabinetry. The side walls of the adjacent cabinetry have to be dimensionally stable. The modular refrigerator and freezer columns can be installed handle-to- handle as a side-by-side solution. In this case, the side-by-side installation kit RA 460 000 is required. With all appliance combinations, the additional heating element RA 460 010 needs to be installed between the appliances to avoid condensation. This additional heating element is not necessary, if the distance between the appliances is greater than 6", or when the appliances are installed side-by-side. The heating element does not take up additional space. It is already included in the niche dimensions and does not interfere with the finger protection. RA 460 000 Installation Kit for side-by-side installation. RA 460 010 Heating kit, if columns are not attached and less than 6" apart. RA 460 020 Connecting element for vertically split appliance fronts (for a flush front). RA 460 030 Connecting element for vertically split fronts (for two-door bottom freezer combination).

Kitchen Design Basic Terms To clarify the terms which are used in this quick reference, please refer to the following definitions: Case This is the main body of a kitchen cabinet. Face Frame Door This is a decorative frame at the front of a kitchen cabinet and is typical for North America. Variations by manufacturer in kitchen design construction may purposely have a clearly visible face frame that is a part of the kitchen aesthetics. European design and styling of cabinets (frameless cabinetry) typically do not have a frame. The kitchen cabinetry door panel is the element of kitchen furniture largely defining the aesthetic design of a kitchen. It can have any conceivable look from modern to traditional. In this quick reference a 3 /4" (19 mm) thick door panel is presumed. Appliance Door Panel Niche (Installation Cavity) The modular refrigerator and freezer columns from Gaggenau are intentionally designed to be equipped and delivered with custom made appliance door panels that perfectly match the end-user s installed kitchen cabinetry. Typically the normal appliance door panel thickness is expected to be 3 /4" (19 mm). However, a thicker appliance door panel can be accommodated if such door panels are used on the end-user s kitchen cabinetry or in order to emulate the look of the visible face frame (addition to the door) on the refrigerator as well. The niche is the cavity where a Gaggenau refrigerator or freezer is installed. The width of the niche (18",24",30",...) is dependent on the appliance. The niche depth is equal to the depth of the kitchen cabinet (case+face frame). It does NOT include the thickness of the cabinetry door panel. For proper planning of the niche depth, please refer to the respective chapter on page 16 in this quick reference. The main idea of the Gaggenau modular refrigerator and freezer column concept is, that you can simply replace any standard size kitchen cabinet with a refrigerator column. You can create a suitable niche by leaving a respective gap between two tall cabinets. Alternatively you may create an enclosure, that the appliance will fit into. However this is not the original design intent (basic idea). When planning the installation niche, it is important that the side walls are completely flush! Please make sure that there is not any kind of face frame at the front of the niche. If, for some reason this is not the situation, please make sure that the depth of this face frame (furniture return) is more than 4" (100 mm) so that the appliances can be properly secured. Kitchen Cabinetry Illustration 14
Depth of Installation Cavity (Niche Depth) As previously described, the required depth of the installation cavity is mainly dependent on the kitchen design. The Gaggenau refrigerator and freezer columns are designed for a niche depth of 24 (610 mm). So, if the kitchen cabinet (case + face frame) is 24" deep, this should accommodate many standard installations. Please be advised that additional depth may be required for kitchen designs intending the look of flush fascia across the cabinetry and the refrigerator door panel. A) Standard Overlay Design On a kitchen with standard overlay cabinetry, the face frame is also an important part of the design. If the same aesthetics are to be continued on the refrigerator, then not only the door cabinetry panel thickness (e.g. 3 /4") is included, additionally the face frame thickness must be emulated. Thereby the resulting thickness of the appliance door panel is 3 /4" + 3 /4" = 1 1 /2" (face frame emulation + door panel = custom appliance door panel). This cumulative thickness of the resulting custom appliance door panel requires added depth for the installation cavity. Example 24"+ 3 /4" = 24 3 /4" (recommended is 25 ). appliance door panel (emulating a face frame) B) Full Overlay Design The above mentioned requirements are of course also valid for kitchens with full overlay design. However there are some chances to work with a niche depth of 24": For this, the small remaining visible area of the fully overlaid face frame has to be emulated within the standard appliance door panel thickness of 3 /4". This can be done by simply ignoring the visible area of the face frame on the refrigerator ( extended size of the appliance door panel) or by emulating the face frame by creating a respective nose on the appliance door panel (see sketch). appliance door panel with nose (emulating a face frame) C) Offset Design, Inset Design (25" niche depth) Here, the kitchen cabinetry door panels are NOT completely mounted on the cabinet, but partially or fully inserted into the face frame. Due to this, such offset or inset design kitchens do not gain sufficient installation depth by the door panel. If any appliance door panel (thickness e.g. 3 /4" ) is installed on the refrigerator, the complete depth dimension of the paneled refrigerator will be 24 + 3 /4" = 24 3 /4" (629mm). The minimum depth of the niche is therefore also 24 3 /4" (recommended is 25 ). D) European style kitchen cabinetry (24" niche depth) If the kitchen design is based on European style cabinetry, there is no need to emulate the look of a face frame, as such a frame does not exist on any of the kitchen cabinets. Therefore a 24" (610 mm) deep niche will always be sufficient. 24" Niche depth is sufficient for: - frameless cabinetry kitchen design with any kind of appliance door panels - standard overlay or full overlay kitchen design with appliance stainless steel door panels. - full overlay kitchen design with appliance custom door panels with extended size or with nose (to emulate face frame look) 25" Niche depth is required for: - standard or full overlay kitchen design with appliance door panels with thickness bigger than 3 /4" (to emulate face frame look) - offset or inset design kitchens with any kind of appliance door panels 15
Installation (Niche) Dimensions! IMPORTANT! It is strongly recommended the top panel boundary of the niche be of solid material (5/8 thickness). Make sure that the upper boundary is completely flush for a depth of at least 4".! IMPORTANT! Make sure that the side walls of the niche are completely flush! If, for some reason, a separate niche cabinet is created, make sure that the furniture return area is at least 4" deep.

It is recommended the water-box be placed adjacent to the installation cavity, so that it can be accessed for service without uninstalling the appliance. If this is not possible, place the recessed water box adjacent to the power supply socket elevated at the heights as referenced in areas A+B. 16
Cavity For Side-By-Side Installations The width dimension of a niche for side-by-side installations is defined by adding the dimensions of the two single columns. Below illustrates the dimensions of a classic 48 -SxS, with a 18 freezer unit on the left and a 30 refrigerator on the right.! IMPORTANT! 48" SxS (18 freezer + 30 refrigerator) It is strongly recommended the top panel boundary of the niche be of solid material (5/8 thickness). Make sure that the upper boundary is completely flush for a depth of at least 4".! IMPORTANT! Make sure that the side walls of the niche are completely flush! If, for some reason, a separate niche cabinet is created, make sure that the furniture return area is at least 4" deep. There is a wide range of combination possibilities, which always end up in simple niche dimensions. Some examples: 18 + 18 models = 36" niche 24 + 18 models = 42" niche 24 + 24 models = 48" niche 30 + 18 models = 48" niche 24 + 30 models = 54" niche 30 + 30 models = 60" niche 30 + 36 models = 66" niche 36 + 36 models = 72" niche You just have to make sure that the sockets for the power supply and the water line are located at the correct positions. Take the needed dimensions from the niche description of a single unit installation. A: Area for installing the power connection B: Area for running the water line. It is recommended the water-box be placed adjacent to the installation cavity, so that it can be accessed for service without uninstalling the appliance. If this is not possible, place the recessed water box adjacent to the power supply socket elevated at the heights as referenced in areas A+B. 17
Appliance Door Panel Dimensions IMPORTANT:The perfect size of the appliance door panels for the Gaggenau refrigerators and freezers is defined by the aesthetic design of the surrounding kitchen cabinetry. The toe kick height, the cabinet height and other relevant dimensions of the kitchen will predetermine the dimensions that are required to achieve the same look on the refrigerators. The following sketches illustrate the dimensions which are also used on the panels of the stainless steel models. They are designed for a toe-kick height 4" (102 mm), and a overall kitchen cabinet height of 84" (2134 mm) with reveals of 1/8" (3 mm) as this is a perfect compromise for wide range of kitchen designs. As the custom appliance door panels will exceed the appliance door at upper and lower side, please make sure that also the rear side has a finished surface for a height of each 8" (205 mm). IMPORTANT: These sketches are NOT intended to be a replacement for careful planning. Attention to the specific design details of any kitchen is always a necessity!

Planning Example #2 42 Side-by-Side in a standard overlay kitchen and with seperate niche Kitchen cabinetry door panel (3/4 ) niche cabinet Kitchen cabinet Kitchen cabinetry face frame (visible) Installation cavity, (created by a separate niche) Countertop furniture return Niche for 42 refrigerator installation, standard overlay kitchen: 25 (635 mm) 84 (2134 mm) min 4 (100 mm) In this example, the installation cavity is done with a separate niche (surrounding the refrigerator) although this niche cabinet is not needed. It even creates a look that deviates from the general kitchen design. The appliance front panel has a cumulative thickness of 1, whereby emulates the face frame of the kitchen cabinets and emulates the door panel. Due to this, a 25 deep installation cavity is required. - if the niche is done with furniture return (not recommended), this has to be at least 4 deep (on left, right and upper side) and from solid material. It has to have equal depth on left and right side! - niche width is exactly 42 (for a 18 +24 = 42 SxS-combination) - niche depth (cabinet depth) is 25 due to 1 appliance front panel. 25 (635 mm) min 4 (100 mm) 42 (1067 mm) 20
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 Gaggenau 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 21

Base area and upper valance design Relating to the standard height level, the maximum height of the base panel is 4 (102mm), depending on construction. The minimum thickness of the base panel is (19mm). Velcro fastening is used to fix the base panel to the appliance. Ventilation slits and the entrance to the water filter (if available) are located in the higher area of the appliance base. min. 4 (100mm) Make sure that the upper boundary (top) of the niche (upper decorative valance) is at least 4 deep, so that the refrigerator can be properly secured to the niche. This is especially important if a surrounding niche for the appliance is created and if the niche is configured with a face frame. The furniture return of this face frame must have a minimum depth of 4. 24
Installation accessories The following optional accessories are available for installing and configurating the appliance. RA 460 000 Installation Sealing Kit If two single columns are connected to a side-by-side combination (any configuration), this special accessory is required. It provides several parts for the secure merging of the individual units, including a special sealing mat. This sealing mat protects the connection area from negative effects of condensation. Additionally, a special cover strip for closing the gap between the two appliances is included. RA 460 010 Heating Kit If two columns are installed separately (any configuration) and if the distance in-between these units is less than 6" (160 mm), this special accessory is required. Included is a thin heater blanket for placement on the right side-wall of the left unit. This heater blanket will eliminate the temperature influence of the close installation so that humidity effects and condensation will not occur. If the installation distance exceeds 6", the accessory is not required. Additional side heating element RA 460 040 Finger protection extra long If an installation is done in such a way that the standard height level is exceeded, this finger guard with extended size must be used to make sure that all areas of the refrigerator door are safe. RA 460 020 / 030 Connecting element for cabinet doors If an appliance front panel of a 30" or 36" wide column needs to be divided into two parts to match the kitchen furniture design, these unification parts can be used for safely combining them. There are two different kits available: For single door models and for bottom freezer models. RA 461... Stainless steel ventilation grills The ventilation grills located on the refrigerator base area are also available in stainless steel. There are several grill versions available for all the models (width, type) and installation options (left-side hinge/right-side hinge). Spare parts boxes for service technicians All of the parts needed for installing the appliances and their fronts are supplied with the appliances. Nevertheless, even service technicians, who install many of these appliances may require appropriate installation parts. Two special spare parts boxes have been put together for this purpose. The spare parts boxes can only be ordered via customer service.
