INSTRUCTIONS

 

WARNING: Individual door panels must not exceed the maximum weight specifications.

Introduction Custom decorator panels cover the door trim of Dacor IF36 series refrigerators for an attractive seamless look that flows into the overall design of the room. Fabricate the panels first, then slide them into the door trim frames. The panels are custom designed and installed by your cabinet maker. Installation may be accomplished using various methods. Below are three examples. For additional installation ideas, see the 3-Door Custom Overlay Installation Guide (PN 102426).

Three Panel Method

The backing panel (1/4” [6 mm] thick) slides behind the trim frames that surround the edges of each door. The spacer (1/8” [3 mm] thick) compensates for the thickness of the trim frame. The decorative front panels (3/4” [19 mm] thick maximum) are designed to match the surrounding cabinets and cover the trim frame around the edges of the door. Countersink the screws used to assemble the panels.

Routed Raised Panel Method

Create a routed raised panel and screw or glue the front panel directly to the 1/4” thick backing panel. Instead of using a spacer panel, route the edges of the front panel to compensate for the trim frame thickness. For the top two doors on three door models, do not route the inner edges because there are no trim frames in the center where the doors come together. Countersink the screws used to assemble the panels.
