13. Install the toekick
For installations using a continuous
toekick or a cabinet matching toekick
Before installing the toekick,
measurements must be taken to ensure
that the toekick will not interfere with the
complete 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.
