Installation RequirementsWater Supply RequirementsIf the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system is less than40 to 60 psi (276 to 414 kPa): All installations must meet local plumbing code requirements. Check to see whether the sediment filter in the reverseosmosis system is blocked. Replace the filter if necessary. The water shutoff should be located in the base cabinet oneither side of the refrigerator or some other easily accessiblearea. The right-hand side is recommended.NOTE: If the water shut off valve is in the back wall behind therefrigerator, it must be at an angle so that the water line is notkinked when the refrigerator is pushed into its final position. Allow the storage tank on the reverse osmosis system to refillafter heavy usage. If your refrigerator has a water filter cartridge, it may furtherreduce the water pressure when used in conjunction with areverse osmosis system. Remove the water filter cartridge.If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed,qualified plumber.1” x 1”(2.5 cm x 2.5 cm)Tipping RadiusBe sure there is adequate ceiling height to stand the refrigeratorupright when it is moved into place.Possible waterline locations The dolly wheel height must be added to the tipping radiuswhen a dolly is used. If needed, the tipping radius can be reduced. See ReduceTipping Radius.6”(15.2 cm)1”(2.5 cm)6”(15.2 cm) If the water shutoff valve is not in the cabinets, the plumbingfor the water line can come through the floor. A ½” (1.3 cm)hole for plumbing should be drilled at least 6” (15.2 cm) fromthe right or left hand side cabinet or panel. On the floor, thehole should be no more than 1” (2.5 cm) away from the backwall. See Connect Water Supply.Side Tipping RadiusThe side tipping radius varies depending upon the width of themodel. Use the chart provided to determine the side tippingradius.NOTE: Tip on side only. Your refrigerator dealer has a kit available with a ¼” (6.4 mm)saddle-type shutoff valve. Before purchasing, make sure asaddle-type valve complies with your local plumbing codes. Do not use a piercing-type or ³ 16” (4.8 mm) saddle valve whichreduces water flow and clogs more easily. Install the water supply line only in areas where the householdtemperatures will remain above freezing.Water PressureA cold water supply with water pressure between 30 and 120 psi(207 and 827 kPa) is required to operate the water dispenser andice maker. If you have questions about your water pressure, call alicensed, qualified plumber.AModel SeriesTipping Radius AReverse Osmosis Water SupplyEF42, IF4293” (236.2 cm)IMPORTANT: The pressure of the water supply coming out ofa reverse osmosis system going to the water inlet valve of therefrigerator needs to be between 30 and 120 psi (207 and 827kPa). If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is connectedto your cold water supply, the water pressure to the reverseosmosis system needs to be a minimum of 40 to 60 psi (276 to414 kPa).EF48, IF4896” (243.8 cm)5

Installation RequirementsCustom Panels and Handles - IF42/IF48 Series ModelsCustom overlay panels used with models IF42 and IF48 allow youto blend the exterior of your refrigerator into the overall kitchendécor, and to use custom handles for additional design flexibility.Panel SpecificationsImportant Information About Freezer Door OverlayPanels on Dispenser Models: There are two basic methods for paneling the freezer door ondispenser models:-- Frameless method The custom panels must have backer panels attached in orderto mount them to the refrigerator. It is most common to workwith three layers, as shown in the illustrations below. The threelayers consist of a decorative overlay panel, a ¹/8” (3.2 mm)spacer panel or spacer strips and a ¼” (6.4 mm) backer panel.-- Framed method In some cases, instead of constructing the panel using threelayers, the cabinet manufacturer may choose to work with asingle piece routed for the different dimensions. Follow thepanel dimension and placement instructions on the facing pageto be sure that the custom overlay panels will fit properly. To minimize panel weight, you may use 2” (5.1 cm) spacerstrips around the perimeter in place of full-sheet solid spacerpanels. The spacer strips must be set in at least 1” (2.5 cm)from the top, bottom and side edges of the backer panel. If youuse spacer strips, it is also recommended that you use two 2”(5.1 cm) strips horizontally centered for added support. For the grille and the door panels to be flush, the overlay doorpanel should be ¼” (6.4 mm) thicker than the overlay grillepanel. The framless method involves fabricating two separate panelsfor above and below the dispenser that slide into the trim frameon the door. The framed method involves fabricating a single overlay paneland attaching two separate sets of spacer and backer panelsabove and below the dispenser cutout (see facing page). Thecompleted panel slides into the trim frame on the door as asingle unit.IMPORTANT: The dispenser is recessed behind the overlaypanel for the freezer door. The edges of the overlay panel aroundthe bottom of the dispenser may be exposed to water duringnormal use. Seal the area around the dispenser to prevent waterseepage and damage. It is suggested that the edges of the panelaround the bottom of the dispenser be covered by waterproofmaterial to prevent damage to the finish over time.IMPORTANT: Install the custom panels only after moving the refrigerator intoplace (see page 16). The weight of the overlay panels cannot exceed:-- 50 lbs (23 kg) for the refrigerator door-- 30 lbs (13.5 kg) for the freezer door (total)-- 10 lbs (4.5 kg) for the top grilleOverlay panelOverlay panelSpacer panelSpacer panelSpacer panel/1 8"(3.2 mm)Spacer panel1/8"(3.2 mm)Overlay panelOverlay panelBacker panelBacker panelDoorDoor 1" Min.(2.5 cm)1" Min.(2.5 cm)Backer panelTrim frame5/8" to 3/4"Offsetdimension1/4"panelDoor/Grille trim(1.6 to 1.9 cm)Backer1/8"5/8" to 3/4"(6.4 mm)Offset dimension1/4"(3.2 mm)(1.6 to 1.9 cm)* The spacer panel offset must be a minimum1/8"(6.4 mm)of 1” (2.5 cm) from all four edges of each(3.2 mm)backer panel, including the edges next to thedispenser (on dispenser models).10

The handle and handle mountinghardware are not provided with the refrigerator. Dacor recommends handles with larger D-style pulls. Anyhandle designed for use with an appliance should producesatisfactory results. Handle kits are available through yourDacor dealer. Handle kits do not include the necessary mounting screwssince screw length required varies with the total thickness ofthe panels. The panel craftsman must determine and obtain theproper fasteners for the application. If using screws with thickheads, they must be countersunk into the panel before installingthe handles.IMPORTANT: Dacor does not advise the use of single pull knobs.ATrim frameDoorC20” Typ.(50.8 cm)36” Max.(91.4 cm)A.

Do not install or use a damaged appliance. Do not remove the film on the outside until the refrigerator is inits operating position. All four leveling legs must contact the floor to support andstabilize the full weight of the refrigerator. Keep the cardboard shipping piece or plywood under therefrigerator until it is installed in the operating position.1. Remove and save the literature package bag taped to the sideof the refrigerator and the parts bag behind the grille. Removethe four brackets (two on each side) that attach the shippingbase to the refrigerator bottom.NOTE: Do not remove tape and door bracing until the refrigeratoris in its final position.2. If necessary, reduce the tipping radius. See Tipping Radius(page 5) for ceiling height requirements or Reduce TippingRadius for step-by-step instructions. If you do not need toreduce the tipping radius, proceed to Move the Refrigeratorinto House.Reduce Tipping Radius(if required)Before bringing the refrigerator into the home, be sure there isadequate ceiling height to stand the refrigerator upright.

Installation InstructionsInstall Anti-Tip BoardsConnect Water SupplyIMPORTANT:Read all directions before you begin. To avoid tipping during use, the solid soffit must be within 1”(2.5 cm) maximum above the refrigerator. If the solid soffitis higher than 1” (2.5 cm) or one is not available, then therefrigerator must be braced.IMPORTANT: If you turn the refrigerator on before the water lineis connected, turn the ice maker OFF. It is recommended that board(s) be installed before therefrigerator is installed.NOTE: If the existing water line meets the Water SupplyRequirements, see Connecting to Refrigerator. Board(s) must be long enough to fully

Floor must support the refrigerator weight, more than 600 lbs (272 kg), door panels and contents of the refrigerator. Ceiling height must allow for side tipping radius. See Tipping Radius. Location should permit doors to open fully. See Door Swing Dimensions. Location must permit top grille removal. See Opening Dimensions.
