3/4" Thick Custom Panel
Drill 3/32"
Template Instructions for
Pilot Hole
3/32" Deep
The custom panel should be sized to your installation situation. See Step 1.
It is highly recommended that the custom panel 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.
STEP 1 CUSTOM PANEL SIZE REQUIREMENTS
HEIGHT
Panel height must be between 29-13/16" and 30-1/4".
23-3/4"
• If the panel height is more than 30-1/4", it will prevent
• If the panel height is less than 29-13/16" it will not cover
the dishwasher door frame.
STEP 2 DRAW CENTERLINE
•
• Locate the vertical center of the panel at the top.
• Use a carpenters square to draw a centerline from top to bottom.

25-5/16"
Panel
STEP 3 ALIGN TEMPLATE TO PANEL
• Trim template on the dotted line along all sides.
• Place template on the panel aligned with the bottom edge and the centerline.
Use tape to hold in place.
IMPORTANT: If the template is not aligned properly with the panel, the
panel may hit the toe kick and the door will not fully open. Longer panels
should overhang at the top of the door. Make sure after installation, to
maintain a minimum 1/8" gap to the countertop from the custom panel.
• 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 3/4"
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.
Make sure not to drill all the way through the panel.
NOTE: The custom panel is secured to the dishwasher door with the spacers
and screws provided. The 4 spacers will slip into the keyhole slots on the
dishwasher door.
• Drive the supplied #8 x 7/8" 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
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 keyhole slots. The panel should
align evenly with the top and sides.

• The bottom of the custom panel must not overhang the
bottom of the metal panel. Exceeding this will cause the
custom panel to hit the toe kick and the door will not
fully open. Any extra length of the custom panel must
overhang at the top of the door.

STEP 7 INSTALL DOOR SPRINGS
• Depending on the weight of the panel being used, additional springs may be needed to balance the
door during operation. If only one spring is being attached to the cable, the spring hook should be
inserted into the middle hole on the cable and the other end of the spring should be hooked on the rear
tub bracket as shown below:
Single spring: Hook into middle hole
• If multiple springs are required on each side to balance the door, the spring hooks should be inserted
into the top and bottom holes on the cable as shown below:
Two Springs: Hook into
top and bottom holes
Mark Center
Screw Holes
• The bottom spring opposite end should be hooked into the bottom (back) base rail hole as shown below. The top
spring hooks into the middle hole (side) on the same base rail. See illustrations below.
• The following table may be used as a guideline regarding which springs to use, depending on the weight of panel
being added. However, spring combinations may be adjusted based on personal preferences regarding door feel.

• Check door balance after custom panel is installed.
• If the door drops open too fast, you may swap any of the springs with the next heaviest spring as shown in the table.
• Remove the rear screw-style leveling feet if there is spring interference.

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.
