CAUTION:

 To avoid damage to the refrigerator or handle 

components, do not use power tools. Use hand tools 

only for disassembly and assembly.   

STEP 1   Model IF36BNNF only: 

This kit does not include 

the necessary handle stud mounting screws  

because the required fastener length varies with 

the total thickness of the custom panels. The panel 

craftsman must determine and obtain the proper 

stud mounting fasteners required for the  

application prior to installing the panels on the 

refrigerator. 

NOTES 

See Dacor document 100504 for complete custom 

panel construction information.  

 

The handle mounting studs accommodate #10 

flat head screws/bolts. Bolting the studs into place 

on the panel is highly recommended for long term 

stability. 

 

If using bolts, the nut must be countersunk into the 

panel (see diagram).

 

The inner edges of the two upper refrigerator doors  

must be secured to the door using thin double 

sided tape. See step 3 for additional details. 

For PF36 series refrigerators, skip to step 5. For EF series refrigerators, skip to step 9.
