Custom Wood Panel
Weight
Keep children away from the front of the dishwasher so
that they are not accidentally hit by the door during
loading or unloading or if door should unexpectedly
open. The weight of the door can cause injury.
Screws
To prevent the posssibility of corrosion, use factory
supplied screws for mounting the wood panel.
The EIDW6405HT can be installed with a fully integrated, buyer
supplied custom door panel.
The custom panel should be 1/2 to 3/4" (19mm) thick.
Items provided with the unit:
Six 1 5 / " screws for mounting the custom wooden panel to the
8
dishwasher.
INSTALLING THE CUSTOM PANEL
A custom door panel should be installed before the unit is mounted
to the cabinet.
Refer to the Figure 4 for instruction references.
1. Fit the handle onto the panel according to the manufacturer's
instructions. (NOTE: A handle should be used rather than a
knob. A knob does not provide enough grip.)
2. The two short screws (see Installation Tips, Parts you will
need) go into the back of the panel 14 17 / " from the upper
32
edge of the panel and 9 / " from the edge of the panel. Insert
16
the short screws into the panel, leaving 1 / " of space between
8
the screw head and the panel.
3. Hook the panel screws into the rectangular openings of the
metal panel on the dishwasher door.
4. Open the door and use the six screws supplied to secure the
panel to the door.
NOTE: The door panel cannot exceed 12 pounds.
Figure 4
ADJUSTING THE DOOR SPRINGS
Before you push the dishwasher into the cabinet opening, test
the door to make sure it stays in place at any angle. If it tends
to fall down, pull out the machine and adjust the tension of the
door springs on the sides of the machine by moving them one
hole farther back.

Connections For Electrical,
Water, and Drain
Locating the Connections
1. Review dimensions in Figure 2 to locate dishwasher's drain,
water, and electrical connections.
2. All utilities must be routed in shaded area in the Figure 2.
IMPORTANT: Disconnect power before starting installation.
Note: Locate the electrical supply and dishwasher's electrical
junction box on right underside of unit behind kickplate
assembly. See Figure 5. Determine where you will connect
to hot water supply. Review Figure 5 and note the location of
water inlet valve. Determine where you will connect the drain
hose.
3. Cut access holes for the Electrical, Water and Drain hoses in the
shaded areas as shown in Figure 2.
4. The dishwasher operates on a 120 volt, 60 Hz electrical supply.
Provide a separate circuit with a fuse or circuit breaker rated for
at least 15 amps (20 amps if connected with disposer) but not
more than 20 amps.
5. Pull electrical cable through hole into installation area.
6. Be sure water inlet valve is protected from freezing. If valve
freezes and ruptures, flooding may occur.
7. Determine amount of tubing needed to connect hot water supply
to the unit's water inlet valve. Extra hose length is necessary.
High-pressure and high-temperature Stainless Flexible hose with
a minimum inner diameter of 1 / " may be used. A shut-off valve
4
installed outside dishwasher cabinet is best.
8. Route water supply line into installation area.
9. Stand dishwasher back upright for further installation.
IMPORTANT: Incoming hot water temperature should be at
least 120°F (49°C). Water pressure should be between
20–90 psi.
Figure 5
Property Damage
Do not use the furnished drain hose or a rubber garden hose
for the water supply line. Either of these hoses can burst.
Flooding may occur and cause property damage.
NOTE: Pull the hose from "End Storage Location" side.
See images below to connect the Drain Hose.
1. Take drain Hose out of dishwasher and find the end that
doesn't have the black rubber material.
2.
Use only the spring clamp that is provided in the accessory
kit, place spring clamp over one of the hoses. See Image
Below.
3 . Take the plastic side of the drain hose and insert it into the
hose that is already attached to the dishwasher make sure
hose ends are flush against each other. See image below.
4.
Secure the spring clamp 1/8" from large end of black hose to
the plastic side that was inserted for best sealing results.
See Image Below.
