Custom Door Panel
(Specifications for FDB301/FDB451 Models)
Custom Door Panel (Installation Option)
Have the overlay panel constructed per dimensions.
The panel thickness MAY NOT exceed 3/4" (1.91 cm)
for flush installation in most cabinets. Ensure that the
design, construction, and installation of the panel
overlay and its handle mounting is sufficient to reliably
operate in this application with a maximum panel
weight of 18 lbs. (8.2 kg.) Custom panels should not
exceed 18 lbs. (8.2 kg.)
Note: Back side of panel shown. Use caution not to drill through front of panel.
Note: If panels are made longer than 29-3/4” (75.6 cm), the door panel will be taller than dishwasher control panel.
Note: All hole location dimmensions should be measured from the bottom of the door per the illustration above.
8
Pre-drill two holes with 1/8” drill bit for the locators
using dimensions shown in the figure. Attach plastic
locators using the Torx (T20 BIT) pan head screws
provided in the hardware package.
Use locators to align the panel to the
dishwasher door holes.
Pre-drill other four locations for wood screws
to attach the panel to the dishwasher door using
the dimensions shown in the figure.
Use non-marring clamps to hold custom panel in place.
Use the truss head 1-3/4” long screws provided in the
hardware package for the panel attachment.
Note: If you are using any special panel material
and that require special screws, always use a #8 1-3/4”
long truss head Torx stainless steel screws. The screws
MUST BE stainless steel to avoid corrosion.

Verify operation of the door counter
balance springs after installation of
the overlay panel. The additional
weight of the overlay panel might
require an adjustment to the preload
of the counterbalance springs. If
adjustment of the springs is required,
please refer to the “Counter Balance
Spring” section.
Custom Door Panel (Installation Option, cont.)
General Information
Carefully tighten each screw to secure the overlay
and check to ensure that the overlay is square with the
dishwasher door and cabinet opening and that the panel
doesn’t interfere with the operation of the dishwasher.
• Read these instructions carefully and
completely before installing the
dishwasher. The installation should be
carried out by a qualified installer, who is
familiar with all local codes and ordinances
for electrical and plumbing connections. If
the dishwasher is being installed for the
first time, most of the work has to be done
before you move it into place. If you are
replacing an old dishwasher, you must
check the old connections.
• Electrical requirements are listed in the
“Specifications” section.
Site Preparation
Note: It is recommended that a thorough
site inspection be conducted PRIOR to
unpacking and moving this appliance.
• After determining where the water
supply line will connect to the
dishwasher, provide a 2” (5.1 cm) access
hole and run the line to the approximate
fill valve location. Sealing access area
once lines are in place is recommended.
• Confirm available access to adequate power.
Water Supply
• For service convenience, a shut-off valve
(not supplied) should be installed in the
supply line in a readily accessible location
(such as beneath the sink).
• It is recommended that the dishwasher
be connected to a hot water supply.
Only the 451 model can be connected to
the cold water supply. Cycle times will
increase.
• It is important that the water supply line
and the shut-off valve have a sufficient flow
volume. Flush the supply line prior to
connecting it to the intake line of the
dishwasher.
• Make sure the connection is sealed and not
leaking before completing the installation.
Drain
• The access hole for the drain line should
be 2” square (5.1 cm). Locate as low and
as near to the back wall as possible.
• DO NOT use any fittings anywhere in the
drain line that are less than 1/2” (1.3 cm) ID.
• If the drain line is going to be connected
to a food waste disposer, be sure to
remove the knockout or plug from the
fitting before connecting drain line.
• Drain connection should be a minimum of
9” (22.9cm) from the floor. If connection is
lower, siphoning during cycle can occur.
10
Plumbing connections must comply with
applicable sanitary, safety, and plumbing
codes.
• Water pressure for the water supply should
be a minimum of 10 to 125 psi. The
dishwasher is supplied with a 5’ (1.5 m)
braided stainless steel water line with 3/8”
(0.95 cm) compression fitting connected to
dishwasher.
• After determining where the water supply
line will connect to the dishwasher, provide
a 2” (5.1 cm) access hole and run the
water supply line to the approximate fill
valve location.
The dishwasher has a factory installed
backflow preventer. Do Not add an additional
check valve.
Note: The end of the drain hose is 1” (2.5 cm),
but is adjustable to 3/4” (1.9 cm) or 5/8”
(1.6 cm). If the drain connection is smaller
than 1” (2.5 cm), the hose can be cut to fit
the connection.
Note: Be sure to run the drain line through
the hole to the sink compartment before
moving the dishwasher into place.

WARNING
Hardwire Conduit Option (201 & 301 Models)
Grounding Instructions
This appliance must be grounded. In the
event of a malfunction or breakdown,
grounding will reduce the risk of electric
shock by providing a path of least resistance
for electric current. This appliance is
equipped with a cord having an equipmentgrounding conductor and a grounding plug.
The plug must be plugged into an
appropriate outlet that is installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes
and ordinances.
Disconnect the electrical power supply and
place a tag at the disconnect switch
indicating that you are working on the
circuit.
Grounding Instructions if Hardwired:
This appliance must be connected to a
grounded metal, permanent wiring system;
or an equipment grounding conductor must
be run with the circuit conductors and
connected to the equipment – grounding
terminal or lead on the appliance.
• For a cord connected undercounter
dishwasher:
1. The power supply receptacle for the
appliance should be installed in a
cabinet or on a wall adjacent to the
under counter space in which the
appliance is to be installed;
2. There should be an opening through
the partition between the
compartments mentioned in Item (1),
that is large enough for the attachment
plug to pass through. The longest
dimension of the opening shall not be
more than 1-1/2” (38 mm).
3. The edges of the opening mentioned in
Item (2) should, if the partition is wood,
be smooth and rounded or, if the
partition is metal, be covered with the
grommet provided for this purpose by
the manufacturer; and
4. Care should be exercised, when the
appliance is installed or removed to
reduce the likelihood of damage to the
power supply cord.
• The dishwasher comes with a 3’9” (1.1 m)
electrical cord for 110-120 volts, 15/20
amp supply. This cord should be plugged
into the 110-120 volt outlet located under
the sink.
• If the cord is not long enough or if a hard
wire installation is needed, follow the
instructions in the “Hardwire” section.
Note: Access holes should be 2” square
(5.1 cm) with no sharp edges.
• In a hardwire installation, use only copper
supply conductors. The conductors should
have a minimum temperature rating of
194° F (90° C).
Be sure electrical power is turned off at
circuit breaker or fuse box before servicing
or installing unit. Do not use an extension
cord for this appliance.
Improper connection of the equipment –
grounding conductor can result in a risk of
electric shock. Check with a qualified
electrician or serviceman if you are in
doubt as to whether the appliance is
properly grounded. Do not modify the plug
provided with the appliance; if it will not fit
the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by
a qualified electrician.
12
Remove any loose items in the dishwasher and carefully
lay the dishwasher on its back. Note: Be careful not to
pinch hoses or power cord beneath dishwasher.
Remove front plate.
Attach UL approved 3/4” strain relief (not included) to
bottom of terminal box. Run wires through strain relief.
Remove bottom pan. Note: Rapid removal of the bottom pan will
cause damage to the moisture sensor. For installation and servicing,
slowly pull the bottom pan from the unit and disconnect the wire
from the moisture sensor, which is located in the center of the pan.
Remove factory installed power
cable from terminal block.
Connect wires to terminal block.
