Upper and lower panel minimum thickness is ⁵⁄₈" (16 mm). Panel
thickness more than ¹¹⁄₁₆" (18 mm) can be accommodated but
overall product depth will increase accordingly.
Custom door panel material must be suitable for damp
conditions or adequately sealed to withstand moisture and
humidity. Using a moisture-resistant material can provide
additional protection. Taping edges alone may not provide
adequate sealing. For painted panel, paint all rear edges to
improve sealing.
1. Cut the custom door panel to specifications shown. The
custom panel may be wider than the dishwasher in order to
match the surrounding cabinets.

prepared medallion hole.

pulling the pins straight out with a pair of needle-nose pliers.
