Safety and warning information
Installation safety
Location and installation safety
WARNING
· Before installing the refrigerator, connect it to a power outlet and turn
the refrigerator ON to make sure the refrigerator is working.
· Choose a location away from the heat of a heater, boiler, or direct
sunlight. · Install the unit where air flows freely and where the refrigerator
is well ventilated. · Install the unit so that air flows unobstructed through
the front air grill. If the air
circulation is not ensured, it may interfere with the normal functioning of
the product. · Outside animals (rodents) can chew on the power cord and cause
a fire; therefore, install
the unit where there is no access to animals. · If the cabinet is made of soft
material (ex: plaster, etc.), it can have a weak structure and
be damaged. Therefore, use a cabinet made of sturdy, strong material. ·
Install the refrigerator with a team of at least 2 people. · Refer to the
dimensions of the cabinet and prepare the cabinet with good air circulation. ·
Use cabinet that will not warp from product heat emissions or humidity from
the
opening and closing of the refrigerator.
NOTE This refrigerator is a “built-in” style refrigerator, meaning that the
refrigerator requires installation inside a recess in existing kitchen
cabinetry. Before moving the refrigerator, clear the route to the location
where it will be installed. Check all product dimensions and the tipping
radius with any doorways, hallways, stairs, corners, etc., to ensure a clear
passageway.
WARNING
Tip Hazard This appliance is very heavy on the top and prone to tip over when
not securely installed. Keep doors taped closed until refrigerator is in its
final position and ready to be secured in place. Use two or more people to
move and install refrigerator. Failure to do so can result in death or serious
injury.

Handle Installation for Units with Custom Door Panels (Top View)
Before installing the custom panels, you must first install the door/drawer
handles.
With custom panel models, you have the advantage of being able to select a
handle style that meets your own personal taste. Handles are not provided with
custom panel models. Selected handle kits are available through your dealer.
Dacor does not advise the use of single pull knobs.
Most handle kits do not include the necessary mounting screws because screw
length varies with panel thickness.
The panel craftsman needs to select and purchase the required fasteners for
the installation. The screw heads must be countersunk into the panel to
prevent interference during depth adjustment.
CAUTION
We recommend installing a handle for a custom panel. Without the handle, you
may catch your fingers in the door when opening or closing the door.

1. Decide how best to use the plumbing layout. Then
2. Tap into the main water line while following these requirements: – The
installer must provide the 1/4″ (6.5 mm) water line and all fittings. – The
water line must be long enough to provide slack to allow the refrigerator to
be moved for floor cleaning and servicing, without the need to first
disconnect the water line. – All new installations must meet local plumbing
code requirements. – The water shutoff should be placed in the base cabinet on
either side of the refrigerator or in some other easily accessible area. – If
the water shut-off valve is placed in the back wall behind the refrigerator,
it must be at an angle so that the water line is not kinked when the
refrigerator is pushed into its final position. – Make sure the water supply
pipe is within the range shown in the 1″ illustrations. – The water hose is
positioned within 1/2″ from the back wall, and is withdrawn to the front along
the gray-colored area in the figure above. The water hose must be taped on the
floor.

2. Moving the Refrigerator
WARNING
The appliance is very heavy. When moving the refrigerator, all personnel must
take care not to injure themselves or the appliance. 1. Secure the
refrigerator to a suitable means of transport (preferably an appliance dolly),
and move the refrigerator near its installation cabinet. 2. Move and install
with a minimum of two persons. 3. Be very careful to avoid floor damage.
Delicate flooring should be protected with
plywood, hard cardboard, or similar material. 4. Before moving the
refrigerator, verify that it will fit through all door openings,
stairwells, and overhead obstructions. · TIPPING HAZARD: The refrigerator is
large, heavy, and tips easily when not secured.
Always move the refrigerator in an upright position if possible. If not, move

3. Installation preparation
Unpack installation materials and accessories. See the Installation
preparation section on Installation Requirement chapter.
4. Attaching the anti-tip-bracket
WARNING
To keep the unit from tipping forward, an anti-tip bracket must be installed.
Before attaching the bracket, ensure that no electrical wiring or plumbing is
in the area where the screws will penetrate. Two such brackets per appliance
are required.
CAUTION
Always wear safety glasses and other necessary protective devices or apparel
when installing or working with anchors. Dacor does not recommend that you
anchor the anti-tip bracket in light-weight masonry (e.g., block, brick) or in
new, uncured concrete. Make sure the wall or the cabinet that the brackets are
studded in has enough strength to withstand the safety load. If you have to
use the spacer, make sure that the spacer is studded on a rear wall that is
strong enough to withstand the safety load.

1. Bracket height is measured from the floor and depends on the cabinet
height.
NOTE
Bracket height = Cabinet height 3 25/32″ (96 mm) 2. Attach the anti-tip
brackets. Ensure the
