	• 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.
