Installation Requirements

Handles

•Before installing a custom panel assembly, you must install the custom handle hardware. The handle and handle mounting hardware are not provided with the refrigerator.

•Dacor recommends handles with larger D-style pulls. Any handle designed for use with an appliance should produce satisfactory results. Handle kits are available through your Dacor dealer.

•Handle kits do not include the necessary mounting screws since screw length required varies with the total thickness of the panels. The panel craftsman must determine and obtain the proper fasteners for the application. If using screws with thick heads, they must be countersunk into the panel before installing the handles.

IMPORTANT: Dacor does not advise the use of single pull knobs.

Custom Side Panels

Custom side panels may be needed when not enough space is available to have cabinets on both sides of the refrigerator or when the refrigerator is placed at the end of a cabinet run. You may choose an inset, flush or recessed inset panel installation.

Refrigerator and Side Trim Dimensions

The width and height of a side panel are determined by the type of installation you are planning.

Overlay

(60.2 cm)

3⁄16” (4.8 mm)

3⁄8” (9.7 mm)

Side Trim

1⁄16” (1.5 mm)

3⁄32” (2.4 cm)

NOTES:

ƒƒ The dimensions shown are actual product dimensions and may not reflect the needed installation dimensions.

ƒƒ The side panel should be a minimum of ½” (1.3 cm) thick to avoid warping.

ƒƒ If the opening depth is 25” (63.5 cm) or more, you may want to install a support board on the rear wall.

Inset Installation Dimensions

1.Measure the distance from point A (as shown) to the back wall. Add 1⁄32” (0.8 mm) to this measurement to allow the side panel to fit into the trim.

2.If the panel is more than 3/8” (9.5 mm) thick, route the front edge to allow the side panel to fit into the trim.
