Custom Panel Dimensions

Install Custom Panel

A customer supplied panel must weigh no more than 16 lbs 
(7.3 kg) and must be made to specific dimensions. It is 
recommended that a cabinetmaker cut the customer panel 
because of the precise dimensions needed.
NOTES:

■

The handle for the custom panel is not included.

■

All mounting hardware supplied is for a 

³⁄₄" (19.1 mm) thick 

wood panel. If a thinner wood panel or materials other than 
wood are used, it is the customer’s responsibility to obtain the 
proper length screws and adjust the pilot holes accordingly.

IMPORTANT: Use a moisture-resistant sealer on both sides and 
all edges of the panel to avoid damage from moisture.

Using 2 or more people, stand the dishwasher up.
NOTE: Do not install kick plate until instructed to do so.

Install the custom hardware handle(s) on the front of the wooden 
panel inside dotted line.
IMPORTANT: If the handle is attached from the back of the 
custom panel, the screw holes should be countersunk for the 
screws heads to be flush with the panel. If the handle is attached 
to the front of the custom panel, the screw lengths cannot exceed 
the panel thickness.
