13. Install the toekick
For installations using a continuous
toekick or a cabinet matching toekick
Before installing the toekick, measure-
ments must be taken to ensure that the
toekick will not interfere with the com-
plete opening of the dishwasher door.
The door panel overhang (
P
), and
toekick depth of recess (
R
), determine
the maximum dishwasher toekick
height (
H
).
If (
H
) is equal to or less than the toekick
height of the adjoining cabinets, no
interference will exist, provided that (
R
)
is at least
3
/
4
" (19 mm).
If the door panel hits the toekick when
the dishwasher door is opened, the
toekick must be cut shorter or recessed
deeper.
Note:
If a decorative or flush mount toekick is
desired, and (R) is less than
3
/
4
"
(19 mm), other modifications, such as
beveling the top rear edge of the
toekick, may be necessary.
It is extremely important that the
toekick is removable in case service
is needed.
