If the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system is less than
40 to 60 psi (276 to 414 kPa):
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.
If your refrigerator has a water filter cartridge, it may further reduce the water pressure when used in conjunction with a reverse osmosis system. Remove the water filter cartridge.
If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed, qualified plumber.
Tipping Radius
Be sure there is adequate ceiling height to stand the refrigerator upright when it is moved into place.
The dolly wheel height must be added to the tipping radius when a dolly is used.
If needed, the tipping radius can be reduced. See Reduce
Tipping Radius.
Side Tipping Radius
The side tipping radius varies depending upon the width of the model. Use the chart provided to determine the side tipping radius.
NOTE: Tip on side only.
If the water shutoff valve is not in the cabinets, the plumbing for 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) from the right or left hand side cabinet or panel. On the floor, the hole should be no more than 1” (2.5 cm) away from the back wall. See Connect Water Supply.
Your refrigerator dealer has a kit available with a ¼” (6.4 mm) saddle-type shutoff valve. Before purchasing, make sure a saddle-type valve complies with your local plumbing codes.
Do not use a piercing-type or ³⁄
16
” (4.8 mm) saddle valve which reduces water flow and clogs more easily.
Install the water supply line only in areas where the household temperatures will remain above freezing.
Water Pressure
A cold water supply with water pressure between 30 and 120 psi
(207 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.
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 30 and 120 psi (207 and 827 kPa). 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).

Custom Panels and Handles - IF42/IF48 Series Models
Custom overlay panels used with models IF42 and IF48 allow you to blend the exterior of your refrigerator into the overall kitchen décor, and to use custom handles for additional design flexibility.
Important Information About Freezer Door Overlay
Panels on Dispenser Models:
•
There are two basic methods for paneling the freezer door on dispenser models:
Panel Specifications
•
The custom panels must have backer panels attached in order to mount them to the refrigerator. It is most common to work with three layers, as shown in the illustrations below. The three layers 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.
•
In some cases, instead of constructing the panel using three layers, the cabinet manufacturer may choose to work with a single piece routed for the different dimensions. Follow the panel dimension and placement instructions on the facing page to be sure that the custom overlay panels will fit properly.
•
To minimize panel weight, you may use 2” (5.1 cm) spacer strips around the perimeter in place of full-sheet solid spacer panels. 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 you use 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 door panel should be ¼” (6.4 mm) thicker than the overlay grille panel.
Frameless method
Framed method
•
The framless method involves fabricating two separate panels for above and below the dispenser that slide in from the handle side of the door.
•
The framed method involves fabricating a single overlay panel and attaching two separate sets of spacer and backer panels above and below the dispenser cutout (see facing page). The completed panel slides into place as a single unit.
IMPORTANT: The dispenser is recessed behind the overlay panel for the freezer door. The edges of the overlay panel around the bottom of the dispenser may be exposed to water during normal use. Seal the area around the dispenser to prevent water seepage and damage. It is suggested that the edges of the panel around the bottom the dispenser be covered by waterproof material to prevent damage to the finish over time.
IMPORTANT:
•
Install the custom panels only after moving the refrigerator into place (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 grille

Handles - IF42/IF48 Series Models
•
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.

Install Anti-Tip Boards
IMPORTANT:
To avoid tipping during use, the solid soffit must be within 1”
(2.5 cm) maximum above the refrigerator. If the solid soffit is higher than 1” (2.5 cm) or one is not available, then the refrigerator must be braced.
It is recommended that board(s) be installed before the refrigerator is installed.
Board(s) must be long enough to fully cover the width of the compressor cover.
Locate the board(s) so the bottom surface(s) of the board(s) is
(are) 84” (213.4 cm) from the floor.
During installation, raise the refrigerator up so there is ¼”
(6.4 mm) maximum between the top of the refrigerator and the bottom of the anti-tip board(s). Do not crush the compressor cover when raising the rear leveling legs.
To Install Anti-tip Boards
1. Mark the stud locations on rear wall 80” to 90” (203.2 cm to
228.6 cm) above floor.
2. Securely attach one or two 2” x 4” x 32” (5.1 cm x 10.2 cm x
81.3 cm) boards to wall studs behind refrigerator. Use six #8 x 3” (7.6 cm) (or longer) wood screws. The wood screws must be screwed into the studs at least 1½” (3.8 cm). The board(s) must overlap the compressor cover.

Connect Water Supply
Read all directions before you begin.
IMPORTANT: If you turn the refrigerator on before the water line is connected, turn the ice maker OFF.
Install Saddle Valve
NOTE: If the existing water line meets the Water Supply
Requirements, see Connecting to Refrigerator.
1. Unplug the refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Turn OFF the main water supply. Turn ON the nearest faucet long enough to clear the line of water.
3. Locate a ½” to 1¼” (1.3 cm to 3.2 cm) vertical cold water pipe near the refrigerator.
IMPORTANT:
Make sure it is a cold water pipe.
A horizontal pipe will work, but drill on the top side of the pipe, not the bottom. Doing so will help keep water away from the drill and normal sediment from collecting in the valve.
4. Using a cordless drill, drill a ¼” (6.4 mm) hole in the cold water pipe you have selected.
5. Fasten the shutoff valve to the cold water pipe with the pipe clamp. Be sure the outlet end is solidly in the ¼” (6.4 mm) drilled hole in the water pipe and that the washer is under the pipe clamp. Tighten the packing nut. Tighten the pipe clamp screws slowly and evenly so the washer makes a watertight seal. Do not overtighten.
