◊
The height from the top of the refrigerator to the floor with the leveling
legs in the fully extended position is 71 1/4” (1810 mm) at the front of
the unit. Add 2 1/2” (64 mm) for the optional top trim kit (AFG36). See
following pages for more details.
◊
The refrigerator width from edge to edge is 35 5/8” (905 mm).
Location Requirements
The refrigerator can be recessed in an opening between cabinets or
installed at the end of a cabinet run using a side panel to enclose it.
water Supply Requirements
◊
A cold water supply with water pressure of between 35 and 120 psi
(241 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.
◊
◊
◊
◊
◊
◊
To ensure proper ventilation, allow for a 1/2” (13 mm) space on both
sides and at the top of the refrigerator. Allow for 1" (2.5 mm) behind.
The location must allow the refrigerator to be moved out from the wall
without being disconnected if service is required.
◊
Install a shut off valve between the refrigerator and water supply. Use
1/4” copper tubing with a compression nut and compression sleeve
and check for leaks. Allow a minimum of 24” (610 mm) diameter
service loop of copper tubing outside the wall or floor for easy
connection to the water supply. Install copper tubing only in areas
where the household temperatures will remain above freezing.
Do not install the refrigerator in a location where the temperature will
fall below 55°F (13°C).
Allow a minimum of 2 1/2” (64 mm) space between the side of the
refrigerator and an oven or range.
The floor must be able to support the refrigerator’s weight of more
than 600 lbs (272 kg), the door panels and the refrigerator contents.
◊
Do not use a piecing type or 3/16” (5 mm) saddle valve which will
reduce water flow and clog more easily.
The area to the left and the right of the appliance must permit both
doors to open to a minimum of 90°. Allow space between the side of
the refrigerator doors and a corner wall for the handle and/or custom
door panels.
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 35 and 120 psi (241 and 827 kPa).
Cabinet Layout
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).
◊
A grounded three prong non-GFCI electrical outlet must be provided
and should be in a location that allows the refrigerator to be
connected without an extension cord. See “Electrical Requirements”
for additional information.
If the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system is less than 40 to 60
psi (276 to 414 kPa):
◊
The plumbing for the water line can come through the floor flush to
or from the back wall. Install the water valve in a location that allows
it to be turned off without moving the refrigerator out in the event the
refrigerator or water line requires service.
■
■
■
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.
Electrical Requirements
If your refrigerator has a water filter, it may further reduce the water
pressure when used in conjunction with a reverse osmosis system.
Remove the water filter. See the use and care manual.
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.
If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed, qualified
plumber.

Custom overlay panels used with model IF36BNNF allow you to blend the
exterior of your refrigerator into the overall kitchen décor and to use custom
handles for additional design flexibility.
IMPORTANT: See Dacor Custom Overlay Panel Installation
Instructions (PN 100504) for complete fabrication and installation
instructions. Modification to the dimensions above may be
required to allow for door swing and other considerations
depending on the location and type of cabinet installation.

Installation may be accomplished using various methods. Below are three examples.
Three Panel Method
IF36BNNF - Handle Configuration
The backing panel (1/4” [6 mm] thick) slides behind the trim frames that surround
the edges of each door. The spacer (1/8” [3 mm] thick) compensates for the
thickness of the trim frame. The decorative front panels (3/4” [19 mm] thick
maximum) are designed to match the surrounding cabinets and cover the trim frame
around the edges of the door. Countersink the screws used to assemble the panels.
◊
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.
Front panel
◊
Handle kits do not include the necessary mounting
screws because the screw length required varies with the
total thickness of the panels. The panel craftsman must
determine and obtain the proper mounting screws for the
application. If using screws with thick heads, they must be
countersunk into the panel before installing the handles.

Routed Raised Panel Method
Create a routed raised panel and screw or glue the front panel directly to the 1/4”
thick backing panel. Instead of using a spacer panel, route the edges of the front
panel to compensate for the trim frame thickness. For the top two doors on three
door models, do not route the inner edges because there are no trim frames in the
center where the doors come together. Countersink the screws used to assemble
the panels.
