Dishwasher Models

The custom panel should be sized to your installation situation. See Step 1.

It is highly recommended that the custom panel be attached before installing the dishwasher.

Use this template to locate mounting screws and spacers on the custom panel.

IMPORTANT

• A custom handle must be installed onto the

custom panel. Install the custom handle

4-1/2” max. from the top of the panel.

PARTS INCLUDED:

(4) Spacers

(2) #8 x 5/8” Phillips truss head stainless steel screws

(4) #8 x 7/8” Phillips truss head stainless steel wood screws

(2) Heavy duty springs

STEP 1 CUSTOM PANEL SIZE REQUIREMENTS

HEIGHT

Panel height must be between 29-13/16" and 30-1/4".

STEP 2 DRAW CENTERLINE

• The bottom of the custom panel must not overhang the

the bottom of the metal panel more than 3/16”. Exceeding

this will cause the custom panel to hit the toe kick and the

door will not fully open. Any extra length of the custom

panel must overhang at the top of the door.

• If the panel height is more than 30-1/4", it will

prevent the door from fitting under the cabinet.

• If the panel height is less than 29-13/16" it will not

cover the dishwasher door frame.

WIDTH

Panel width must be 23-3/4".

• If the panel width is less than 23-3/4" it will not cover

the dishwasher door frame.

29-13/16” Min.

30-1/4” Max.

23-3/4”

1/2” min.

Minimum 1/2” gap

for clearance

Countertop

• Place the custom panel on a flat surface with appearance side down.

• Locate the vertical center of the panel at the top.

• Use a carpenters square to draw a centerline from top to bottom.

STEP 3 ALIGN TEMPLATE TO PANEL

• Trim template on the dotted line along all sides.

• For Panel sizes 29-13/16” up to 30-1/16”, place template on the

panel aligned with the top edge and the centerline. Use tape to

hold in place.

• For Panel sizes over 30-1/16” up to 30-1/4”, place template on

the panel aligned with the bottom edge and the centerline. Use

tape to hold in place.

IMPORTANT: If the template is not aligned properly with the panel,

the panel may hit the toe kick and the door will not fully open.

Longer panels should overhang at the top of the door. Make sure

after installation, to maintain a minimum 1/8" gap to the counter-

top from the custom panel.

• Use an awl to mark the screw hole locations indicated on the

template. Remove the template.

STEP 5 INSTALL CUSTOM HANDLE

A custom handle must be installed onto the panel before the panel is

secured to the dishwasher door.

• The handle should be installed so that it aligns with adjacent

drawer handles, or 4-1/2" max. from the top of the panel. Secure

the handle in the same manner as cabinet handles. Screws must be

countersunk into the panel.

STEP 7 INSTALL DOOR SPRINGS

STEP 4 INSTALL MOUNTING SCREWS AND SPACERS

If the panel is less than 3/4" thick, shorter screws must be used. Use

#8 x 3/4" screws for 1/2" thick panels (not supplied).

• Use a 3/32" drill bit to drill pilot holes 3/32" deep in the marked

locations. Make sure not to drill all the way through the panel.

Note: The custom panel is secured to the dishwasher door with the

spacers and screws provided. The 4 spacers will slip into the keyhole

slots on the dishwasher door.

• Drive the supplied #8 x 7/8” screws through the spacer and into

the panel.

• Install remaining spacers and screws as indicated in the marked

locations.

IMPORTANT: To ensure optimum door balance performance,

the custom panel must not weigh more than 20 lbs.

2-1/8” 2-1/8”

Align with this top edge only if panel is 29-13/16” up to 30-1/16”.

Align with this bottom edge only if panel is between 30- 1/16” to 30-1/4”.

• The following table may be used as a guideline regarding which springs to use, depending on the weight of the panel

being added. However, spring combinations may be adjusted based on personal preferences regarding door feel.

Note: For combinations requiring two different strength springs, the side used is unimportant and the table headings

below are for reference only. For example, a panel weighing 8 lbs would require two (2) gray springs and one (1) blue

spring. The gray springs may be installed on the left side and the blue spring on the right side, or the two gray springs

may be installed on the right side and the blue spring on the left.

• The bottom spring opposite end should be hooked over the lowest screw on the rear tub bracket. The top spring

hooks into the first available hole above the screw in the same rear tub bracket. See illustrations below.

0-5 Blue Blue

5-10 Gray x 2 Blue

10-15 Blue x 2 Black

15-20 Blue x 2 Black x 2

TIP: If the door does not open easily or falls too quickly, check

spring cable routing. The cable is held in place by “shoulders” on

the pulley. Check to be sure the cable has not slipped over the

pulley shoulders.

IMPORTANT: Adjust both balance springs to the same amount of

tension to prevent excessive door twisting during use.

• Close and latch the door.

• Check door balance after custom panel is installed.

If the door drops open too fast, you may swap any of

the springs with the next heaviest spring as shown in

the table.

• Remove the rear screw-style leveling feet because of

spring interference.

• Depending on the weight of the panel being used, additional springs may be needed to balance the door during

operation. If only one spring is being attached to the cable, the spring hook should be inserted into the middle hole

on the cable and the other end of the spring should be hooked over the lowest screw on the rear tub bracket as

shown below:

• If multiple springs are required on each side to balance the door, the spring hooks should be inserted into the top and

bottom holes on the cable as shown below:

4. Carefully open the door because door will likely be unbalanced.

Start insertion of driver at approximately 45 angle to clear the screw head past the hinge components, once the screw

head is clear, rock the driver forward to a vertical position. Proceed to drive the screw. Repeat procedure for the opposite

side.

Drive screw through the hole

hinge bracket and door into

the wood panel.

STEP 6 INSTALL ASSEMBLED PANEL

• Secure the panel to the door by inserting the top and bottom

spacers into the matching keyhole slots.

• Make sure all 4 spacers engage the keyhole slots.

• Press the panel against the door and push downward until the

spacers are fully engaged into the keyhole slots. The panel should

align evenly with the top and sides.

Dimensions only used if aligning template with bottom

CAUTION: It is extremely important that the 2 screws are driven into the wood panel through the metal door

assembly. This locks the vertical motion of the custom panel and if not secured the panel can come off the unit during

door opening/closing causing personal injury and damage to the panel.

Due to the location of the screw holes and very limited space it will be very helpful to attach the screws to the driving bit

with tape to keep the screw from falling off inside the door while inserting down inside. Read and follow the steps below.

1. Insert one of the supplied

#8 x 5/8” truss head screws

through a piece of masking

tape.

2. Insert a minimum 2” long bit

into head and wrap tape around

end of bit. (#1 square drive

preferred)

3. Use a bit extension with a

max 3/8” diameter shank

and a minimum 2-3/4”

length.

NOTICE: Do not overtighten screws.

Excessive tightening of the screws

could damage door edges.
