Built-up floors: If the kitchen floor is higher than the
cabinet opening's floor - for example, the kitchen floor tile
does not extend into the cabinet opening - add shims as
needed in the area shown to bring the dishwasher up to
34" (86.4 cm) below the countertop.
NOTE: Shims must be securely attached to floor to avoid
movement when the dishwasher is in use.

Custom Panel Dimensions
IMPORTANT: You need to know which control panel is on
your dishwasher before you order your custom door
panel.
Follow directions under Option 1 of “Install custom
panel” section.

Custom panel dimensions—Dishwashers
with control panel on the top
(59.7 cm)
³⁄₄" (19.1 mm)
This dimension is for 4" (10.2 cm) toe kick. If the
installation needs a higher toe kick, adjust the height
of the wood panel accordingly. Not recommended for
toe kicks greater than 6" (15.2 cm).
*
NOTE: If the minimum cabinet opening height is less than
34"(86.4 cm), the rear wheels can be removed for
additional clearance. This will allow the dishwasher to fit
into a 33⁷⁄₈" (86 cm) high cabinet opening, but the
dishwasher will be more difficult to move. (Measurements
are approximate. Wheels and legs are preset at the
factory for 34¹⁄₂" [87.6 cm].)
Measure height of cabinet opening from underside of
countertop to floor where dishwasher will be installed
(you will need to measure the lowest point on the
underside of the countertop and the highest point on the
floor). Refer to “Dishwasher Height Adjustment Chart”
for wheel position and the number of turns needed.
IMPORTANT: Do not scratch the front panel during this
procedure.
Remove the door handle and hardware bag containing the
setscrews and Allen wrench from the cardboard box.
Setscrews are already installed in the handle. Place handle
on mounting studs with the setscrews facing down. Push
the door handle tightly against the door. Insert the short
end of the Allen wrench into the setscrews. Tighten the
setscrews ¹⁄₄ turn past snug.
Retain Allen wrench with Installation Instructions.
