Custom Wood Panel Requirements

Custom panel dimensions*This dimension is for a 4″ (102 mm) toekick. If the installation needs a higher toekick, adjust the height of the wood panel accordingly, except on models with fan-assisted dry.  Fan models have a duct at the bottom of the door that would be exposed if you shorten the door panel for toekick heights above 4″ (102 mm). Toekick heights greater than 6″  (152 mm) are not recommended for this product.

Follow Steps Below:A customer-supplied door panel and handle (together) must weigh no more than 16 lbs (7.3 kg) and must be made to specific dimensions. It is recommended that a  cabinetmaker cut the customer-supplied panel because of the precise dimensions needed.NOTES:

  • The handle for the custom panel is not included.
  • All mounting hardware supplied is for a 3/4″ (19 mm) thick wood panel. If a thinner wood panel or materials other than wood are used, it is the customer’s responsibility to obtain the proper length screws and adjust the pilot holes accordingly.

Custom Wood Kick Plate

If a custom wood kick plate is to be installed over the dishwashers’ metal access panel, the height must not exceed 3″ (76 mm) from the bottom of the metal access panel.  IMPORTANT: Use a moisture-resistant sealer on both sides and all edges of the panel and any wooden kick plates to avoid damage from moisture.
