2.Remove 8 screws (4 screws per side) which hold the outer panel to the door assembly. Be careful not to remove the 2 screws which hold the escutcheon to the door assembly.
3.Slowly close the door.
4.Once the door is closed, remove the 2 screws that connect the bottom of the outer panel to the hinge arms.
5.While holding the outer panel against the door assembly, slowly open the door to about 15 degrees open so the top of the outer panel is in front of the kitchen countertop. If the dish- washer is not installed, the door does not have to be opened.
