To install customized wood panels in door and access panel

Dishwasher door panel and access panel (if model is so equipped) can be customized to match wood cabinets. A standard l/4” (7/32” actual thickness) wood panel can be used as is for customizing the door and access panels.

A door panel thicker than 7/32”,

requires routing the top and bottom to a 7/32” thickness.

An access panel thicker than 7/32”,

requires routing all four edges to a 7/32”.

It is recommended that a cabinet- maker cut the customized panels because of the precise cuts required. (See Figures 4 and 5.)
