Description & Features
The Dacor DRZ18980LAP 18" column freezer is a premium built‑in solution designed for homeowners who want true custom integration without sacrificing performance. With a sleek panel‑ready exterior and a width of just under 18 inches, it tucks seamlessly into high‑end kitchen cabinetry while still offering a generous 9.5 cu. ft. of storage capacity, ideal for dedicated freezing in a compact footprint or as part of a full column refrigeration wall. Behind the custom panel, the distinctive SteelCool™ all‑stainless‑steel interior and expansive 3DLighting™ LED illumination transform everyday food storage into a clean, gallery‑like presentation, making it easy to see and access every item from top to bottom. A standout convenience feature is the intuitive Push‑To‑Open door assist, which allows you to gently open the door with a light touch—perfect for hands‑full moments or handle‑free kitchen designs where a smooth, uninterrupted cabinet line is essential. Just inside, the waist‑high Hidden Touch Control Panel keeps the exterior minimal while giving you precise digital control over temperature and special modes, helping maintain optimal conditions for long‑term food preservation. At the heart of the unit, advanced PreciseCooling technology with a dedicated compressor and evaporator is engineered to minimize temperature fluctuations, helping lock in flavor and texture better than many conventional freezers. Thoughtful interior organization includes spill‑proof tempered glass shelves, full‑extension drawers that glide out fully even when the door is opened to 90 degrees, and multiple door bins to maximize vertical space. An integrated icemaker provides a steady supply of ice for everyday use or entertaining, so you don’t need a separate ice machine taking up additional space. ENERGY STAR–qualified performance helps keep energy consumption in check, aligning luxury design with modern efficiency expectations. Whether you’re pairing it with a matching column refrigerator or incorporating it into a larger designer kitchen plan, the Dacor DRZ18980LAP delivers a refined balance of aesthetics, capacity, and cutting‑edge features that set it apart from typical upright freezers.

SteelCool™ Interior with 3DLighting™ – fully wrapped stainless-steel interior with integrated LED lighting that showcases contents while helping maintain consistent, even temperatures.

Push-To-Open™ Door Assist – gently opens the column door with a light push for easy access, ideal for handleless or integrated kitchen designs.

PreciseCooling™ Technology – advanced digital inverter and compressor system minimizes temperature fluctuations for best‑in‑class food preservation and flavor retention.

ENERGY STAR® qualified efficiency – meets strict energy‑efficiency standards to help reduce power consumption and operating costs.

SpaceMax extra‑large capacity design – high‑performance insulation maximizes interior storage volume without increasing the external footprint.

Hidden Touch Control Panel – waist‑high, touch‑activated controls appear only when needed, preserving a clean, uncluttered interior look.

Hidden icemaker – built‑in ice maker tucked neatly inside the freezer provides a steady supply of crescent‑shaped ice without sacrificing shelf space.

True flush, panel‑ready integration – accepts custom cabinet panels and installs flush in a 25"‑deep cabinet for a seamless, built‑in appearance.

Luxury material selection – premium stainless‑steel interior with glass and metal door bins, plus optional Graphite or Silver Stainless steel panel kits for a high‑end aesthetic.

9.5 cu. ft. interior capacity – column design offers generous vertical freezer storage while fitting into compact 18"‑wide spaces.

Full‑height door design – tall, uninterrupted door surface enhances the integrated look and provides easy access to the entire interior.

Tempered glass spill‑proof shelves – three full‑width shelves with metal trim contain spills and support heavy items without sagging.

Full‑extension freezer drawers – two stainless‑steel wrapped drawers glide fully out, allowing you to see and reach items at the back with the door at a 90° opening.

Four door bins for flexible organization – multiple door compartments keep smaller or frequently used frozen items neatly arranged and easy to grab.

Power Freeze function – rapidly lowers the freezer temperature to quickly freeze fresh foods and help preserve texture and nutrients.

Wide freezer temperature range – adjustable from 5°F to -8°F (-15°C to -23°C) to accommodate long‑term storage or specialty frozen items.

Tight temperature control – maintains internal temperature within approximately ±0.9°F (±0.5°C) for stable, reliable freezing conditions.

Dedicated compressor and evaporator – independent cooling system for the freezer column maintains dry conditions, reducing freezer burn and odor transfer.

R600a refrigerant system – uses a modern, more efficient refrigerant that is designed to be less harmful to the environment than older formulations.

LED interior lighting – bright, energy‑efficient lighting illuminates every corner so you can quickly find items, even on higher or lower shelves.

Panel‑ready flexibility – ships ready for custom wood panels or can be paired with optional Dacor stainless‑steel panel kits to match other appliances.

Left‑hinged door configuration – factory‑set left hinge orientation (DRZ18980LAP) supports specific kitchen layouts and column pairings.

Column pairing options – compatible with Dacor column pairing kits to create side‑by‑side freezer/refrigerator or multi‑column configurations.

Adjustable shelving system – repositionable shelves and bins allow you to customize the interior for tall boxes, bulk items, or flat trays.

In‑door storage – door bins provide additional space for smaller frozen goods, helping free up shelf and drawer capacity.

Frost‑free operation – automatic defrost system prevents ice buildup, eliminating the need for manual defrosting.

Child Lock function – allows controls to be locked to prevent unintended changes or operation by children.

Power‑on indicator light – visual confirmation that the freezer is operating, useful at a glance in integrated installations.

Adjustable leveling legs – allow precise leveling of the unit for proper door sealing and optimal performance, even on uneven floors.

83 3/8" built‑in height – tall cabinet height aligns with standard high‑end built‑in refrigeration and surrounding cabinetry.

17 3/4" cabinet width – slim column footprint fits narrow spaces or multi‑column custom layouts.

25" overall depth – designed to sit flush with standard 25" cabinet depths for a smooth, integrated profile.

115V, 60Hz, 15A electrical requirement – standard household electrical connection simplifies installation.

Annual energy consumption around 465 kWh – engineered for efficient year‑round operation in premium kitchens.
