Install custom panel
Option 1: For models KUDS03FTPA and KUDU03FTPA
NOTE:The handle for the custom panel is not included.
IMPORTANT:If the handle is attached from the back of the
custom panel, the screw holes should be countersunk for
the screws heads to be flush with the panel. If the handle is
attached to the front of the custom panel, the screw lengths
cannot exceed the panel thickness. For more information on
KitchenAid custom handle selection, refer to the KitchenAid
Catalog, visit www.kitchenaid.com, or call 1-800-422-1230.
NOTE:A customer-supplied full front panel must weigh no
more than 16 pounds (7.3 kg) and must be made to specific
dimensions. It is recommended that a cabinetmaker cut the
custom panel because of the precise dimensions needed.
NOTE:All mounting hardware supplied is for a 3/4"
(19.1 mm) thick wood panel. If a thinner wood panel, or
materials other than wood are used, it is the consumer’s
responsibility to obtain the proper length screws and adjust
the pilot holes accordingly.
IMPORTANT:Use a moisture resistant sealer on both sides
and all edges of the panel to protect it from humidity.
1. With a TORX®screwdriver, remove three screws from both
sides, as shown; hold the outer panel up while removing
the screws. Save screws for reinstallation.
2. Gently set outer panel aside.
3. Lay the cutomer-supplied custom panel face down on a
protective, non-scratching surface.
*This dimension is for 4" (10.2 cm) toe kick. If the installation needs a higher
toe kick, adjust the height of the wood panel accordingly. Not recommended
for toe kicks greater than 6" (15.2 cm).
