Custom decorator panels cover the door trim of Dacor IF36 series refrigerators for an attractive
seamless look that flows into the overall design of the room. Fabricate the panels first, then slide
them into the door trim frames. The panels are custom designed and installed by your cabinet
maker. Installation may be accomplished using various methods. Below are three examples.
For additional installation ideas, see the 3-Door Custom Overlay Installation Guide (PN 102426).
Three Panel Method
The backing panel (1/4" [6 mm] thick) slides behind the trim frames that surround the edges of
each door. The spacer (1/8" [3 mm] thick) compensates for the thickness of the trim frame. The
decorative front panels (3/4" [19 mm] thick maximum) are designed to match the surrounding
cabinets and cover the trim frame around the edges of the door. Countersink the screws used to
assemble the panels.

Routed Raised Panel Method
Create a routed raised panel and screw or glue the front panel directly to the 1/4" thick backing
panel. Instead of using a spacer panel, route the edges of the front panel to compensate for the
trim frame thickness. For the top two doors on three door models, do not route the inner edges
because there are no trim frames in the center where the doors come together. Countersink the
screws used to assemble the panels.
Trim Frame
Surrounding Door
Single Panel Method
A single 1/4" panel design can be created using the trim
frames to frame the panel (the trim frames will be exposed).
