installation instructions

The installation of the side panel requires the panel support

bracket to be mounted to the underside of the countertop
and the toekick panel to be mounted to the floor. If the panel

isinstalled perpendicular to a wall, the side panel will also be

fastened to the wall.

The enclosure for the dishwasher must be at least 24" wide.
The dimensions on the adjacent diagrams show locations of

the screw holes for the toekick panel and the support bracket

panel. Locating the screw holes as shown will provide the
required 24" opening for the dishwasher.

The toekick panel is mounted with its 1" flange against the
floor. Similarly, the panel support bracket is mounted with its

1" flange against the underside of the countertop.

STEP i ADJACENT CABINET SHOULD BE

SQUARE AND PLUMB FOR GOOD

DISHWASHER FIT

Check cabinet for perpendicularity to the floor with a
carpenter's square. If the cabinet is out of square, it may be
necessary to make adjustments in the installation of this panel
to ensure the dishwasher will fit properly in the opening.

STEP 2 LAY OUT MOUNTING HOLES FOR

TOEKICK PANEL

The rear-mounting hole must be 3ol/4"from the back of
the opening and 23-1/2" from the opposite side. The front

mounting hole must be 19"from the back of the opening and
23-1/2" from the opposite side. Mark these two screw hole
locations and punch or drill an appropriate pilot hole.

If the floor is ceramic tile, quarry tile or similar material, it wil!
be necessary to drill clearance holes through the tile so lag
bolts can be screwed into the sub-floor to securely fasten the

toekick panel against the floor.
