INSTALLING THE CUSTOM PANEL OR

ASKO AcceSSOrY pAneL - 4 Inch tOe

KICK

A custom door panel should be installed before the unit

is mounted to the cabinet.

Refer to the illustration at the right for

instruction references.

1. Fit the handle (A) onto the panel according

to the manufacturer’s instructions. (NOTE: A

handle should be used rather than a knob,

because a knob does not provide enough

grip.)

IMPORTANT! The custom panel must not obstruct the

fan exhaust vent; otherwise, moisture from the vent

could eventually damage the cabinet and create drying

problems.

2. The two short screws (B) go into the back of the panel

15-7/16” (392 mm) from the upper edge of the panel and

10-7/8” (266 mm) from the center of the panel. Insert the

short screws into the panel, leaving 1/8” (3 mm) of space

between the screw head and the panel.

3. Hook the panel screws (B) into the keyholes (C) on the

dishwasher door.

4. Slide the panel to the left until it is centered in the

opening and secure the screws.

5. Open the door and use the six screws (D) supplied to

secure the panel to the door.

NOTE:

If the door panel weighs more than 15 pounds, you

may need to order the heavy-duty door springs.

*Max panel width cannot exceed cutout dimensions less

1/8” (2.5mm) reveal on each side.

ADJUSTING THE DOOR SPRINGS

Before you push the dishwasher into the cabinet opening,

test the door to make sure it stays in place at any angle. If

it tends to fall down, pull out the machine and adjust the

tension of the door springs on the sides of the machine

by moving them one hole farther back or by twisting the

spring to make it shorter.

Width 23-1/2” (597mm)*

Height 29-7/8” (760
