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.

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.

NOTE
Bracket height = Cabinet height ­ 3 25/32″ (96 mm) 2. Attach the anti-tip brackets. Ensure the
screws hold the bracket tightly.

The anti-tip brackets must extend at least 2″ (50 mm) over the appliance to secure the appliance. If this minimum length cannot be observed for structural conditions it is possible to do this by fastening a spacer (wood) behind the anti-tip angle.
