• Custom overlay panels and handles for the above
models allow you to blend the exterior of your
refrigerator into your overall kitchen décor.
• The panels are mounted and adjusted using the
supplied mounting hardware.
• The mounting brackets attach to your custom panels.
The brackets slip over the mounting studs installed on
the front of the refrigerator door and freezer drawer. See
the following pages for panel and mounting dimensions
and specifications.

Mounting Hardware for Custom Panel
Custom Grill Cover
The refrigerator grill does not come with hardware for
attaching a custom grill panel. However, it is possible to
create a custom panel for the grill by using the dimensions
on page 12, to avoid loss of air flow. The custom panel
attaches by drilling holes in the existing magnetically
attached (white) grill and using wood screws to secure it.

Handle Specifications
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. Dacor
recommends handles with larger
D-style pulls. Any handle designed
for use with an appliance should
produce satisfactory results.
• Handles are not provided with
custom panel models. Selected
handle kits are available through
your Dacor dealer. Dacor does not
advise the use of single pull knobs.
• Most handle kits do not include
the necessary mounting screws
because screw lengths 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 (page 15).
