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” [1.9 cm] 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.
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).
IF36BNNF - Handle Configuration
◊
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 because the screw length required varies with the
total thickness of the panels. The panel craftsman must
determine and obtain the proper mounting screws 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.
