NOTE: A decorative wood panel may be attached to the face of the inll bracket to match cabinetry.

STEP 3

REMOVE DISHWASHER FROM ENCLOSURE AND PREPARE THE CUSTOM DOOR PANEL

IMPORTANT

• Remove the dishwasher from the enclosure.

• Ensure the custom door panel has the correct specifications to fit the front of the dishwasher.

• Seal the back and sides of the panel with a waterproof vapor barrier (ie: polyurethane). The barrier allows the panel

to withstand moisture (122°F @ 80% RH) and prevents damage to it as the dishwasher operates in a hot and wet

environment.

• If the enclosure opening is more than 32-1/2” tall, the top of the custom panel can overhang the top of the door to match cabinets.

Measure the panel and overhang

• Measure the back of custom panel, mark its centerline and

determine the overhang length from the base of the door.

Cut or fold this Template along the appropriate

bottom line for the required overhang

Align this Template to the centerline and bottom of

the panel and mark pilot holes

• Place the centerline of this Template on the centerline

of the panel, align with bottom, mark out and drill pilot

holes into the back of the custom panel. Ensure pilot

holes are 1/16” wide and 1/2” deep.

STEP 4

INSTALL A CUSTOM HANDLE OR CUT OUT A POCKET HANDLE OPENING INTO THE TOP OF

THE CUSTOM PANEL

IMPORTANT: Handle installation or pocket handle opening cutout must be done before the custom panel is
