Changing The Standard Front Panels - Asko D1976CSTM Installation Instructions Manual

CHANGING THE STANDARD FRONT PANELS

PANEL DIMENSIONS
Models D1706, D1716, D1776, D1876, and D1976
(except the stainless steel models) can accept wood
panels with the use of a 1/4" panel trim kit.
For standard, non-raised panels, use 1/16" (1.6mm) to
1/4" (6 mm) material. For custom raised panels, the
decor trim will accept up to 1/4" (6 mm) flange. The
raised panel can be mounted on a backing sheet cut to
fit as illustrated at right.
Backing sheet or non-raised panel dimensions:
Upper: 23-3/16" w x 21-3/16" h
Lower: 23-3/16" w x 4-3/16" h
Raised portion dimensions:
Upper: 21-3/16" w x 17-7/16" h
Lower: 21-3/16" w x 2-3/16"
NOTE: The stainless steel panels do not have holes
for custom trim. You have to drill the holes.
INSTALLING THE PANEL
WARNING!  Before working on any electrical
appliance, be sure the electrical power has been
turned off at the breaker/fuse box.
Refer to the illustration at bottom right for instruction
references.
1. Remove the lower access panel with standard or
20 torx screwdriver.
2. Using needlenose pliers, remove the plastic plugs
around the edges of the access panel and upper
door panel. You may discard the plugs.
3. Using the screws provided with the trim kit, loosely
secure parts A and C to the upper door panel.
4. Slide the upper panel into the trim kit grooves.
5. Tighten the screws holding parts A and C.
6. Secure part B and tighten screws.
7. Loosely screw part E to the lower access panel.
8. Slide the custom panel into trim kit channels and
tighten the screw to part E.
9. Secure part D of the trim kit and tighten the screws.
10. Secure the lower access panel to the dishwasher.
11. Drop the access panel to line up with the lower
holes on the guard plate. (Make sure the exhaust
vent is below the panel. Otherwise, steam from the
vent could eventually damage the panel.)
12. Before you push the dishwasher into the cabinet
opening, test the door to make sure it opens
properly. The door is counter-balanced, so it should
remain in any position. If it doesn't, you may need
to adjust the door springs (see page 12).
13. Fasten the dishwasher to the cabinet (see page 9).
