Preparing the Location

Follow all cabinet dimensions shown on the following
pages to insure safe operation. All minimum product
dimensions must be met. Dimensions shown provide the
minimum required clearances.
• Your Dacor built-in refrigerator can be installed in a
cabinet opening (see facing page) or at the end of a
cabinet run, using a custom side panel to cover the
exposed side (see page 8).
• Carefully check the location where the appliance is to be
installed. Put it in a location with convenient access. The
power supply shall meet the Electrical Specifications.
Also, the utilities need to be installed close by in a
cabinet adjacent to the location selected so that the
power plug can be disconnected and the water supply
shut off without removing the appliance from the cutout.
• The location should allow the refrigerator door
and freezer drawer to open freely. See Product
Dimensions.
• For best performance, place the refrigerator away from
sources of heat such as cooking appliances, household
heating outlets or other sources of heat.
• Do not install the appliances in a location where the
water line could freeze.
• The floor must be capable of supporting the weight of
the appliance.

have sufficient material for attachment of the anti-tip
brackets in the areas shown in the cutout diagrams on
the following pages.
• Plan the installation so that the appliance can be
removed easily if service is required. Dacor is not
responsible for additional service costs charged for
removal of customer installed molding or decorative
panels to allow access for servicing the refrigerator.
