STEP 2. ATTACHING THE ACCESSORY DOOR OR CUSTOM PANEL

Follow the separate instructions supplied with the 

dishwasher to attach the chosen accessory door 

or custom panel to the front of the machine.

NOTE:

Once you have fitted the accessory door or 

custom panel to the dishwasher, the door springs 

may need adjusting. Check that the door stays 

in the position in which it is placed. If the door 

drops down when you open it, the springs need 

to be tightened. If the door shuts on its own, the 

springs need to be loosened. See step 3 for further 

instructions.

NOTE:

The custom panel must not cover the air nozzle 

and thereby block the flow of air.

Typical panel dimensions are based on a

dimensions must be adjusted accordingly for all 

other installations.
