Te mplate Instructions for
Top Control Integrated Prole and
Monogram Dishwasher Models
The custom panel should be sized to your installation situation. See Step 1. For easier
installation the custom panel and custom handle should be attached before installing the
dishwasher . Use this template to locate mounting screws and spacers on the custom panel.
IMPORT ANT
• A custom handle must be installed onto the custom 
panel. Install the custom handle 4-1/2" max. from 
the top of the panel.
STEP 2 DRA W CENTERLINE
• Place the custom panel on a at 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 4 INST ALL MOUNTING SCREWS AND SP ACERS
Mark Center 
Screw Holes
STEP 5 INST ALL 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 6 INST ALL ASSEMBLED P ANEL
• Secure the panel to the door by inserting the top 
and bottom mounting screws with 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 key hole slots. The panel should align 
evenly with the top and sides.
• Stand the dishwasher upright.
• Open dishwasher door and drive the supplied 
#8 x 1-3/4" truss head screws. Drive one screw at 
the top and one on each side as shown, through 
the inner door and into the custom panel.
WARNING:Do not overtighten screws. Excessive 
tightening of the screws could damage door edges.
STEP 3 ALIGN TEMPLA TE TO P ANEL
• Trim template on the dotted line along all sides.
• Place the template on the panel aligned with the top edge and 
the centerline. Use tape to hold in place.
IMPORTANT: If the template is not aligned with the top edge of the 
panel, the 1/2" minimum gap will not be maintained. This 1/2" minimum 
gap must be maintained to prevent condensation and damage to the 
control panel from screw heads.
• Use an awl to mark the screw hole locations indicated on the 
template. Remove the template.
HEIGHT
Panel height must be between 30-1/16" and 30-1/4".
• If the panel height is more than 30-1/4" it will 
prevent the door from swinging open.
• If the panel height is less than 30-1/16" it will not 
cover the dishwasher door frame.

STEP 1 CUSTOM P ANEL SIZE REQUIREMENTS
If the panel is less than 3/4" thick, shorter screws must 
be used. Use #8 x 1/2" 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.
Note: The custom panel is secured to the dishwasher door with 
the spacers and screws provided. The spacer will slip into the 
keyhole slots on the dishwasher door.
• Drive the supplied #8 x 5/8" Phillips truss head steel screws 
through the spacer and into the panel.
• Install remaining spacers and screws as indicated in the marked

STEP 7 INST ALL DOOR SPRINGS
The dishwasher is shipped from the factory with a 
temporary set of balance springs. Use the heavy duty 
springs provided and the adjustment holes in the 
cable to balance the door after the custom panel 
is installed onto the dishwasher.
• With the dishwasher on the wood skid, close and 
latch the door.
• Remove and discard both door springs.
• Attach the new heavy duty door springs. Engage 
the end with the short hook into the support leg 
and the long hook into the cable.
• Open and close the door.
• If the door drops open when released, increase 
spring tension. If the door closes when released, 
decrease tension.
TIP: If the door does not open easily or f alls 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.
IMPOR TA NT:  Adjust both balan ce springs to the 
same amount of tension to prevent excessive door 
twisting during use.
