performance, the custom panel must not weigh more
25-9/16"
than 14 lbs.
STEP 2 DRAW CENTERLINE
• Place the custom panel on a flat surface with appearance side
down.
• Locate the vertical center of the panel at the top.
• Use a carpenters square to draw a centerline from top to bottom.
STEP 3 ALIGN TEMPLATE TO PANEL
• Trim template on the dotted line along all sides.
• Place the template on the panel aligned with the top edge and
the centerline. Use tape to hold in place.
IMPORTANT: If the template is not aligned with the top edge of the
panel, the 1/2" minimum gap will not be maintained. This 1/2" minimum
gap must be maintained to prevent condensation and damage to the
control panel from screw heads.
• 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 1/2" 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.
Note: The custom panel is secured to the dishwasher door with
the spacers and screws provided. The spacer will slip into the
keyhole slots on the dishwasher door.
• Drive the supplied #8 x 5/8" Phillips truss head steel screws
through the spacer and into the panel.
• Install remaining spacers and screws as indicated in the marked
locations.

STEP 7 INSTALL DOOR SPRINGS
The dishwasher is shipped from the factory with a
temporary set of balance springs. Use the heavy duty
springs provided and the adjustment holes in the
cable to balance the door after the custom panel
is installed onto the dishwasher.
• With the dishwasher on the wood skid, close and
latch the door.
• Remove and discard both door springs.
• Attach the new heavy duty door springs. Engage
the end with the short hook into the support leg

and the long hook into the cable.
• Open and close the door.

Cable Routing
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.
