HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif., Sept. 4 /PRNewswire/ — Completing its suite of high-performance, luxury kitchen appliances, Thermador today announced the introduction of its bold yet whisper quiet built-in refrigeration line. Now offering home renovators, designers, builders and architects the opportunity to create a fully integrated Thermador kitchen, the new refrigeration models will be available in October 2003.
Matching the unique styling and superior design and functionality of the popular Thermador Professional® Series, the new refrigeration line includes a stainless steel front, a stylish exterior grille, tempered glass shelves and brushed aluminum rails to create a dramatic yet elegant look. Unlike anything on the market today, the signature interior shelving units in all Thermador refrigerators have a sleek adjustable, frameless design to offer maximum storage capacity.
Additional features include: integrated one-gallon door storage, adjustable temperature storage drawer (available on side-by-side models), sealed humidity-controlled crispers, roller glides for easy drawer access, convenient ice/water filtration system and wine rack. Following the Thermador tradition, each unit is individually crafted and performance tested to ensure the highest standards of quality.
“We are entering the refrigeration business with this new line to appeal to consumers who are loyal Thermador owners and want the complete Thermador kitchen,” said Franz J. Bosshard, president and chief executive officer, Thermador. “We also designed this new line to satisfy those consumers who want the ultimate in refrigeration performance coupled with sophisticated styling in their kitchens.”
With 18 different models to choose from in three sizes (36-inch, 42-inch or 48-inch), consumers can choose the exact refrigerator — including a bottom mount or side-by-side configuration — to suit their preferences and lifestyle. Thermador fans can choose a refrigerator that matches the exterior design of their other Thermador Professional Series cooking products with the Professional Handle Series. Other design options are the Designer Handle Series with a stainless steel front to coordinate with other major appliances or, the Custom Panel Series, which are customized to match kitchen cabinetry. The complete refrigeration line will be manufactured in Tennessee.
