Description & Features
The Dacor DRZ36980LAP 36" Column Freezer is a statement-making built‑in appliance designed for homeowners who want professional performance seamlessly integrated into a custom kitchen. With a generous 21.4 cu. ft. capacity and a width of 35 3/4", it offers expansive storage while maintaining a true flush, panel‑ready installation that aligns perfectly with surrounding cabinetry for a clean, furniture‑like look. Behind the door, the distinctive SteelCool™ all‑stainless‑steel interior with immersive 3DLighting™ transforms everyday food storage into a gallery‑style presentation, bathing stainless walls, tempered glass shelves, and metal‑trimmed bins in bright, even LED illumination so every item is easy to see and reach. A standout convenience feature is the Push‑To‑Open™ Door Assist, which gently opens the column with a light touch—ideal for hands‑full moments or handle‑free contemporary designs—while the waist‑high Hidden Touch Control Panel keeps advanced settings discreetly out of sight until you need them. Precision performance is delivered by PreciseCooling™ technology with dedicated compressors and evaporators, maintaining remarkably stable temperatures and humidity to help preserve flavor, texture, and nutrients in frozen foods better than conventional systems. Entertaining is elevated by the Dual Ice Makers with standard cubes and premium Cocktail Ice™, providing crystal‑clear, slow‑melting ice that keeps drinks colder and less diluted for longer. Thoughtful interior organization, including full‑width spill‑proof shelves, full‑extension drawers that glide smoothly even when fully loaded, and adjustable door bins, makes it simple to store everything from bulk purchases to delicate desserts. ENERGY STAR® qualification helps manage energy consumption without sacrificing performance, and panel‑ready flexibility allows you to match the freezer to virtually any kitchen style, from classic to ultra‑modern. Whether paired with a matching column refrigerator or installed as a stand‑alone feature in a luxury kitchen, the Dacor DRZ36980LAP delivers a rare combination of refined aesthetics, innovative technology, and high‑capacity storage that sets it apart from typical built‑in freezers.

SteelCool™ stainless steel interior with 3DLighting™ – fully wrapped stainless-steel cavity with integrated 3D LED lighting that showcases food while helping maintain consistent, professional-grade temperatures.

Push-To-Open™ Door Assist – gently opens the full-height door with a light push, ideal for handle-less or modern integrated kitchen designs.

Dual Icemaker with Cocktail Ice™ – produces both standard ice cubes and longer‑lasting “cocktail” ice, perfect for entertaining and premium beverages.

PreciseCooling™ Technology with Digital Inverter Compressor – minimizes temperature fluctuation for best‑in‑class food preservation and reduced freezer burn.

ENERGY STAR® qualified performance – meets strict energy-efficiency standards to help lower utility costs and reduce environmental impact.

IQ Remote Diagnostics™ (Wi‑Fi enabled) – allows remote diagnostics and service support to help quickly identify and resolve performance issues.

True flush cabinet integration – full-height door design installs flush with 25" cabinet depth for a seamless, built‑in look without an exposed vent grille.

Panel-ready exterior – accepts custom cabinet panels to match surrounding cabinetry for a fully integrated, designer appearance.

Contemporary column design – 36" built‑in freezer column that can be paired with a matching refrigerator column for flexible kitchen layouts.

21.4 cu. ft. extra‑large capacity – spacious interior provides ample storage for bulk purchases, meal prep, and long‑term frozen food storage.

SteelCool™ stainless-steel wrapped drawers – premium metal drawer construction enhances durability, hygiene, and temperature stability.

Full-extension freezer drawers – drawers glide fully out, even at a 90° door opening, for easy access to items at the back.

Tempered spill‑proof glass shelves with metal trim – sturdy, easy‑to‑clean shelves help contain spills and add a refined, high‑end look.

Three full‑width adjustable shelves – flexible storage configuration to accommodate tall items, large platters, and bulk containers.

Hidden box with flip‑up cover – discreet compartment for smaller or high‑value items like specialty ingredients or frozen treats.

Four door bins – additional vertical storage for smaller packages, frozen snacks, and frequently used items.

Power Freeze function – rapidly lowers the freezer temperature to quickly freeze fresh foods and help lock in flavor and texture.

Automatic frost‑free defrost – eliminates manual defrosting while maintaining efficient, even cooling performance.

Dedicated compressor and evaporator system – independent cooling system for the freezer column maintains dry, consistent conditions and reduces odor transfer from other appliances.

Stable temperature control – tight temperature fluctuation range helps preserve food quality and minimize ice crystal formation.

Door‑open alarm – audible alert warns if the door is left open, helping prevent temperature loss and food spoilage.

Sabbath Mode – disables certain functions and lighting according to Sabbath observance requirements.

R600a refrigerant – uses a more environmentally friendly, energy‑efficient refrigerant compared to older R134a systems.

Superior insulation technology – advanced insulation helps maintain internal temperatures and improves overall energy efficiency.

3D LED interior lighting – bright, even illumination from multiple angles makes it easy to see contents on every shelf and in every drawer.

Left‑hinge door configuration (DRZ36980LAP) – designed with hinge on the left side; ideal for specific kitchen layouts or pairing with a right‑hinge refrigerator column.

Multiple finish options via accessory kits – compatible with Graphite Stainless or Silver Stainless handle and panel kits to match other Dacor appliances.

Built‑in column installation – designed for flush, built‑in installation for a clean, professional kitchen aesthetic.

83 3/8" tall cabinet height – fits standard luxury built‑in refrigeration openings for easier planning with custom cabinetry.

Quiet, efficient operation – advanced compressor and insulation design help reduce operating noise in open‑concept spaces.

Comprehensive limited warranty coverage – multi‑year coverage on the sealed refrigeration system and full appliance for added peace of mind.
