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.
NOTES:
 The dimensions shown are actual product dimensions and
may not reflect the needed installation dimensions.
 The side panel should be a minimum of ½” (1.3 cm) thick to
avoid warping.
 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.
Recessed Inset Installation Dimensions
1. Measure the distance from point B (as shown) to the back
wall.
2. Rout the front edge of the support board or attach a
3
/8” (9.5 mm) board to hold the panel in the cabinet side trim.
