What to consider when installing a custom panel dishwasher
Bosch dishwashers are designed to be surrounded by standard residential kitchen cabinetry. If the dishwasher is to be
installed in a corner, make sure that there is adequate clearance of 27" to open the door.
For SHV43P13UC, SHV65P03UC, and SHV68P03UC

Installation options
Custom panel models allow you to have a door panel made to match your
cabinetry. The door panel can be a two-piece design (model
1
) to look like
a drawer at the top and a cabinet door at the bottom or a single full-length
door (model
2
). A template is included with the custom panel models to
explain the mounting procedure. Additional templates can be ordered by
calling customer service at 1-800-944-2904.
NOTE: The door springs that are included with the custom panel units will
provide proper function for custom door panels weighing between 9 and
18 pounds. SHV43P13UC, SHV65P03UC, and SHV68P03UC allow you to
adjust the screw tension to accommodate for the weight of the door panel.
SHV58E13UC and SHV68E13UC require no tension adjustment screws as
the hinges self adjust to weights ranging from 9 to 18 pounds.
Water and electrical locations
For proper dishwasher operation and appearance, ensure the enclosure is
square and the openings allow for passage of water, drain and electrical line.
Select a location as close to the sink as possible for easy access to water
supply and drain lines. In order to avoid interference with the dishwasher when
sliding it into the cabinet, place your openings within the dimensions shown.
Plumbing and electrical supply hoses must attach to the dishwasher within the
shaded area.
Note: Plumbing installations will vary – refer to local codes. The maximum
length of the drain hose, including hose leading to air gap (if any) is 150"
(3810 mm). Ensure a portion of the drain hose is raised at least 20" (508 mm)
above the floor to ensure proper draining.

The dishwasher electrical supply junction box and dedicated receptacle must be mounted in an accessible cabinet adjacent to the
dishwasher (do not mount the junction box or receptacle behind the dishwasher).
The electrical supply can be connected in one of two ways:
1. Use the included three prong plug and junction box to connect to a dedicated household receptacle.
2. Permanently connect to household or field wiring
