Preparing the Location

 WARNING

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.
