    • Install the refrigerator with a team of at least 2 people.
  • Refer to the dimensions of the cabinet and prepare the cabinet with good air circulation.
  • Use cabinet that will not warp from product heat emissions or humidity from the opening and closing of the refrigerator.

NOTE

This refrigerator is a “built-in” style refrigerator, meaning that the refrigerator requires installation inside a recess in existing kitchen cabinetry.

Before moving the refrigerator, clear the route to the location where it will be installed. Check all product dimensions and the tipping radius with any doorways, hallways, stairs, corners, etc., to ensure a clear passageway.

text_image Handle Countersunk screw Custom panel Appliance door/drawer Handle Installation for Units with Custom Door Panels (Top View)

Before installing the custom panels, you must first install the door/drawer handles. With custom panel models, you have the advantage of being able to select a handle style that meets your own personal taste. Handles are not provided with custom panel models. Selected handle kits are available through your Dacor dealer. Dacor does not advise the use of single pull knobs.

Most handle kits do not include the necessary mounting screws because screw length varies with panel thickness.

The panel craftsman needs to select and purchase the required fasteners for the installation. The screw heads must be countersunk into the panel to prevent interference during depth adjustment.

CAUTION

We recommend installing a handle for a custom panel. Without the handle, you may catch your fingers in the door when opening or closing the door.

  1. Decide how best to use the plumbing layout. Then
  2. Tap into the main water line while following these requirements:

  3. The installer must provide the 1/4-in (6.5 mm) water line and all fittings.

  4. The water line must be long enough to provide slack to allow the refrigerator to be moved for floor cleaning and servicing, without the need to first disconnect the water line.
  5. All new installations must meet local plumbing code requirements.
  6. The water shutoff should be placed in the base cabinet on either side of the refrigerator or in some other easily accessible area.
  7. If the water shut-off valve is placed 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.
  8. Make sure the water supply pipe is within the range shown in the 1" illustrations.
  9. The water hose is positioned within 1/2" from the back wall, and is withdrawn to the front along the gray-colored area in the figure above. The water hose must be taped on the floor.

2. Moving the Refrigerator

WARNING

The appliance is very heavy. When moving the refrigerator, all personnel must take care not to injure themselves or the appliance.

  1. Secure the refrigerator to a suitable means of transport (preferably an appliance dolly), and move the refrigerator near its installation cabinet.
  2. Move and install with a minimum of two persons.
  3. Be very careful to avoid floor damage. Delicate flooring should be protected with plywood, hard cardboard, or similar material.
  4. Before moving the refrigerator, verify that it will fit through all door openings, stairwells, and overhead obstructions.

- TIPPING HAZARD: The refrigerator is large, heavy, and tips easily when not secured. Always move the refrigerator in an upright position if possible. If not, move the refrigerator on its back. Secure the doors shut during transport.

WARNING

Be careful that electrical component box is not damaged when installing.

3. Installation preparation

Unpack installation materials and accessories.

See the Installation preparation section on Installation Requirement chapter.

4. Attaching the anti-tip-bracket

Dacor RAC36AMRHMS - Attaching the anti-tip-bracket - 1

WARNING

To keep the unit from tipping forward, an anti-tip bracket must be installed. Before attaching the bracket, ensure that no electrical wiring or plumbing is in the area where the screws will penetrate. One such bracket per appliance is required.

Dacor RAC36AMRHMS - WARNING - 1

CAUTION

Always wear safety glasses and other necessary protective devices or apparel when installing or working with anchors.

Dacor does not recommend that you anchor the anti-tip bracket in light-weight masonry (e.g., block, brick) or in new, uncured concrete.

Make sure the wall or the cabinet that the brackets are studded in has enough strength to withstand the safety load.

  1. Bracket height is measured from the floor and depends on the cabinet height.

Dacor RAC36AMRHMS - CAUTION - 3

NOTE

Bracket height

= Cabinet height - 4 3/32" (104 mm)

  1. Attach the anti-tip brackets. Ensure the screws hold the bracket tightly.

The anti-tip brackets must extend at least 2" (50 mm) over the appliance to secure the appliance. If this minimum length cannot be observed for structural conditions it is possible to do this by fastening a spacer (wood) behind the anti-tip angle.

For 36" models, place 2 anti-tip brackets at intervals and fix them with 3 screws per bracket on a wooden wall, or with 3 screws and 3 holder-locks per bracket on a concrete wall. For the other models, you can use one anti-tip bracket for the intended purpose.
