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.

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.

25-9/16"

STEP 2 DRAW CENTERLINE

• 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.

• 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.

STEP 4 INSTALL MOUNTING SCREWS AND SPACERS

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

locations.

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 6 INSTALL ASSEMBLED PANEL

• 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 7 INSTALL 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.

11-5/16"

Pulley

Shoulder

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.
