ElEctrical rEquirEmEnts
A 115VAC, 60 Hz, 15 Amp circuit breaker and electrical supply are
required. A separate dedicated non-GFCI circuit, servicing only
this appliance, is required.
Your Dacor®Built-In refrigerator is equipped with a 40” (1016mm)
3-prong grounded power cord, which must be plugged into a
3-prong grounding-type non-GFCI wall receptacle. Follow the
National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances when
installing the receptacle. See “Rough-In Dimensions” for location
of the electrical supply.
IMPORTANT: A ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) is not
recommended and may cause interruption of operation.
◊All installations must meet local plumbing code
requirements.
◊Connect to 1/4” (6mm) copper line to the house cold fresh
water supply.
◊Use a shut off valve between the refrigerator and supply.
The shut off valve should be a drilled saddle valve.
◊Do not use a self-tapping valve which reduces water flow
and clogs more easily.
◊Route the water line within 3-1/2” (89mm) of the rear wall
and no higher than 3” (76mm) from the floor.
◊Allow a minimum of 24” (610mm) dimeter service loop of
copper tubing outside the wall or floor for easy connection to
the water supply.
Cold water supply
Connect the ice maker to a cold water line with water pressure
between 30 and 120 PSI. If you have any questions about your
water pressure, call your utility company.
IMPORTANT:
◊In homes with a Reverse Osmosis water treatment system,
remove the water inlet connector from the “yellow” valve
and attached to the “blue” valve. Make sure the water filter
bypass plug is in place.

custom ovErlay panEls
The decorator panels for overlay models cover the door trim for an
attractive, seamless look that flows into the overall design of the
room. This application is often accomplished by using three panels:
the decorative front panel, a spacer panel of .10-inch thickness,
and a 1/4-inch backer panel. (see page 11.4)

Custom Handle Specifications
Before installing the custom panel assembly, the custom handle
hardware must be installed. It is recommended that handles with
larger D-style pulls be used. If the screws that are used have
thick heads, the screws will need to be countersunk into the panel
before it is put into place.
IMPORTANT: Dacor®advises not using single pull knobs on Built-
In Refrigerator.
