Mounting the Wooden Panel onto the Door and Slid-
ing the Dishwasher into the Cabinet
During the preparatory stages for installing the dishwasher into
the kitchen cabinet, holes must not be drilled in the sides, or
door, in order to avoid compromising the performance and/or
operation of the appliance. Before working on any internal
components, the unit must be disconnected from the power
supply .The maximum dimensions for the wood panel that can
be installed on the door are: Height - 610 mm ( 725 mm for the
completely built-in version); Width - 598 mm; Thickness:20 mm.
The height dimension of 610 mm must be reduced if the height
of the control panel is increased through the use of the spacers.
In addition, the base must be trimmed if it interferes with the
opening of the door.
Align the top edge of the template (identified with the “A” arrow )
with the top edge of the panel. On both sides of the template (top
and bottom ) are written the various dimensions that correspond
to the different possible widths for the panel. Align the template
with the side of the panel (left or right), making sure that the
panel coincides with the appropriate dimensions. Mark the posi-
tions for the holes for the screws, using the tip of a drill or a
pencil. The three holes closest to the side should be used(B).
Repeat this step on the other side of the panel ,using the corre-
sponding side of the template.
Using the Drilling Template (Fig.1)
At the point marked, drill holes 2 mm in diameter . If the panel is
made of chip board , only drill through the veneer. If the panel is
made of solid wood, the holes can be made deeper. Position the
two brackets so that they are lined up with the holes made in
the bottom part of the panel. The holes furthest to the outside
should be used to fasten the brackets. The small fins should be
turned downward. The hooks in the totally built-in version should
be screwed into the two holes at the top.
Fastening the Bracket to the Wooden Panel (Fig.2)
Place the wood panel onto the door of the dishwasher. Then
perform the installation steps described below, based on whether
the panel is for a totally built-in model or integrated with the con-
trol panel.

Insert the top hooks into the appropriate slots in the dishwasher
control panel. Then push the panel upwards until it stops. After-
wards , slide the panel downward again, moving the bottom of
the panel toward the door so that the fins on the brackets slide
into their slots (Fig.3).
In both cases, open the doors of the dishwasher (the panel
should stay in place by itself) and align the panel with the door,
keeping it in contact with the control panel. Remove the small
plastic plugs that cover the holes on the inside of the dishwasher
door and fasten the panel in place with the screws provided (Fig.
4). Remember to cover the two holes with the plastic plugs re-
moved earlier.
