AND EASE OF INSTALLATION
CAUTION: Dishwasher front is subject to some hu-
midity. For this reason the finish used on wood panel
should be moisture resistant and it is recommended
that both sides and all edges be covered with finish
(sealer) material.
As a safety precaution when installing a wood front
panel, use one of the painted panels as an electrical
containment barrier. The fiber board back-up panel
must be left in place. Remove and save the corrugated
board and the extra painted panel(s) for future use.
NOTE: For ease of installation, remove both side
trims before installing the wood front panel.
Access Panel
(for models so equipped)
The wood access panel should be l/4" x 23"~ 4%". Use
one of the painted access panels as a back-up panel.
Install the wood panel, back-up panel and insulation
in the frame. See access panel for detailed instruc-
tions. Save the other painted panel(s) and corru-
gated spacer for future use.
