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:
