Handles

• 

Before installing a custom panel assembly, you must install the 

custom handle hardware. The handle and handle mounting 

hardware are not provided with the refrigerator.

• 

Dacor recommends handles with larger D-style pulls. Any 

handle designed for use with an appliance should produce 

satisfactory results. Handle kits are available through your 

Dacor dealer.

• 

Handle kits do not include the necessary mounting screws 

since screw length required varies with the total thickness of 

the panels. The panel craftsman must determine and obtain the 

proper fasteners for the application. If using screws with thick 

heads, they must be countersunk into the panel before installing 

the handles.

IMPORTANT

: Dacor does not advise the use of single pull knobs.

Custom Side Panels

Custom side panels may be needed when not enough space is 

available to have cabinets on both sides of the refrigerator or 

when the refrigerator is placed at the end of a cabinet run. You 

may choose an inset, flush or recessed inset panel installation.

Refrigerator and Side Trim Dimensions

The width and height of a side panel are determined by the type 

of installation you are planning.

NOTES

:

 

ƒ

The dimensions shown are actual product dimensions and
