Location Requirements

Your Dacor refrigerator can be recessed in an opening between cabinets or installed at the end of a cabinet run using a side panel to enclose the refrigerator.

WARNING

Explosion Hazard

Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from refrigerator.

Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

IMPORTANT:

 Observe all governing codes and ordinances.  It is recommended that you do not install the refrigerator near

an oven, radiator, or other heat source.

 Do not install in a location where the temperature will fall

below 55°F (13°C).

 The floor must support the refrigerator weight, more than 600

lbs (272 kg), door panels and contents of the refrigerator.

 The ceiling height must allow for side tipping radius. See

Tipping Radius.

 The location should permit doors to open fully. See Door

Swing Dimensions.

 The location must permit top grille removal. See Opening

Dimensions.

Opening Dimensions

 To avoid tipping during use, the solid soffit must be within 1”

(2.5 cm) maximum above the refrigerator. If the solid soffit is higher than 1” (2.5 cm) or one is not available, then the refrigerator must be braced.

If the anti-tip boards are needed, they must be attached to the rear wall studs 80” to 90” (203.2 cm to 228.6 cm) above the floor. See Install Anti-Tip Boards for more information.

NOTE: A clearance of ¹⁄2” (1.3 cm) must be maintained above

the top grille in order for the top grille to be removed.

Installation Requirements

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

Do not remove ground prong.

Do not use an adapter.

Do not use an extension cord.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.

WARNING

 Locate the refrigerator so that it may easily be pulled out from

the wall if service becomes necessary.

 A grounded 3 prong electrical outlet should be placed as

shown in the illustration below. See Electrical Requirements for more information.

 The water shutoff should be located in the base cabinet on

either side of the refrigerator or some other easily accessible area. If the water shutoff valve is not in the cabinets, the plumbing for the water line can come through the floor or the back wall. See Water Supply Requirements for more information.

Electrical Requirements

Before you move your refrigerator into its final location, it is important to make sure you have the proper electrical connection.

Recommended Grounding Method

A 115 Volt, 60 Hz., AC only 15 or 20 Amp. fused, grounded electrical supply is required. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only your refrigerator be provided. Use an outlet that cannot be turned off by a switch. Do not use an extension cord.

IMPORTANT: If this product is connected to a GFCI (ground fault circuit interrupter) equipped outlet, nuisance tripping of the power supply may occur, resulting in loss of cooling. Food quality and flavor may be affected. If nuisance tripping has occurred, and if the condition of the food appears poor, dispose of it.

NOTE: Before performing any type of installation, cleaning or removing a light bulb, remove the top grille and turn the master power switch to OFF or disconnect power at the circuit breaker box.

When you are finished, turn ON the main power switch or reconnect power at the circuit breaker box. Then reset the control to the desired setting.

Installation Requirements

Water Supply Requirements

 All installations must meet local plumbing code requirements.  The water shutoff should be located in the base cabinet on

either side of the refrigerator or some other easily accessible area. The right-hand side is recommended.

NOTE: If the water shut off valve is in the back wall behind the refrigerator, it must be at an angle so that the water line is not kinked when the refrigerator is pushed into its final position.

(15.2 cm)

 If the water shutoff valve is not in the cabinets, the plumbing

for the water line can come through the floor. A ¹⁄

hole for plumbing should be drilled at least 6” (15.2 cm) from the right or left hand side cabinet or panel. On the floor, the hole should be no more than 1” (2.5 cm) away from the back wall. See Connect Water Supply.

 Install the water supply line only in areas where the household

temperatures will remain above freezing.

 Do not use a piercing-type or ³⁄

NOTE: Your refrigerator dealer has a kit available with a ¹⁄

If the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system is less than 40 to 60 psi (276 to 414 kPa):

 Check to see whether the sediment filter in the reverse

osmosis system is blocked. Replace the filter if necessary.

 Allow the storage tank on the reverse osmosis system to refill

after heavy usage.

 If your refrigerator has a water filter cartridge, it may further

reduce the water pressure when used in conjunction with a reverse osmosis system. Remove the water filter cartridge.

Tipping Radius

Be sure there is adequate ceiling height to stand the refrigerator upright when it is moved into place.

 The dolly wheel height must be added to the tipping radius

when a dolly is used.

 If needed, the tipping radius can be reduced. See Reduce

Tipping Radius.

Side Tipping Radius

The side tipping radius varies depending upon the width of the model. Use the chart provided to determine the side tipping radius.

Water Pressure

A cold water supply with water pressure between 30 and 120 psi (207 and 827 kPa) is required to operate the water dispenser and ice maker. If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed, qualified plumber.

Reverse Osmosis Water Supply

IMPORTANT: The pressure of the water supply coming out of

a reverse osmosis system going to the water inlet valve of the refrigerator needs to be between 30 and 120 psi (207 and 827 kPa).

If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is connected to your cold water supply, the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system needs to be a minimum of 40 to 60 psi (276 to 414 kPa).

NOTE: Tip on side only.
