FITTING THE D1796FI AND D1996FI CUSTOM DOOR PANEL
The D1796FI and D1996FI can only be installed with a
fully-integrated custom door panel that extends from
the toe kick to the counter top. The unit comes with
everything needed to make installing the door panel
easy. The door is predrilled for the panel's mounting
screws.
The custom panel can be a minimum of 1/4" (6 mm)
thickness to a maximum of 3/4" (19 mm) thickness.
ITEMS PROVIDED WITH THE UNIT
♦
Two 3/8" screws
♦
Four 1-3/4" screws
♦
Four adhesive-backed plastic spacer washers
INSTALLING THE CUSTOM PANEL
Before fitting the custom panel, the dishwasher must
be installed underneath the cabinet. After you've made
the required measurements, pull the machine out again
to install the panel.
Refer to the illustration at right for instruction references.
1. Fit the handle (A) onto the panel according to the
manufacturer's instructions. (NOTE: A handle
should be used rather than a knob, because a knob
does not provide enough grip.)
2. Remove the adhesive protection off the washers
and place them in line with the four keyholes (C) on
the metal front of the dishwasher door.
3. Loosen the screws (D) on the outer edges of the
dishwasher door.
4. Pull the turbo fan exhaust frame (E) down until the
lower edge aligns with the lower edge of the cabinets
and tighten the screws. Next, snap the plastic duct
into the turbo fan exhaust vent.
WARNING!
The custom panel must not obstruct
the turbo fan exhaust. See step 4
above for instructions on how to
adjust the fan exhaust.
5. The two short screws (B) go into the back of the
panel, 16-3/16" (411 mm) from the upper edge of
the panel and 5/8" (16 mm) from the outer edges.
Insert the short screws into the panel, leaving 1/8"
(3 mm) of space between the screw head and the
panel.
6. Hook the panel screws (F) into the keyholes (C) on
the dishwasher door.
7. Push the panel upwards until the lower edge aligns
with the lower edge of the cabinets.
NOTE: The custom panel should not extend more
than 2-15/16" (75 mm) below the bottom of the
dishwasher door. Otherwise, it will strike the toe
kick and damage the machine and/or the panel.
8. Open the door and tighten the screws (F) inside.
9. Remove the backing from the protective tape and
affix it on the bottom edge of the panel, in front of the
exhaust vent.

opening, test the door to make sure it opens properly.
The door is counter-balanced, so it should remain
in any position. If it doesn't, you may need to adjust
the door springs (see below).
11. Fasten the diswasher to the cabinet (see page 9).
ADJUSTING THE DOOR SPRINGS
After you install the custom
panel, make sure the door
stays in place at any angle. If
it tends to fall down, pull out
the machine and tension the
door springs on the sides of
the machine by moving them
one hole farther back or by
twisting the spring to make it
shorter. If that doesn't resolve the problem, you may
need to purchase the heavy-duty door springs (part
number 8071323-77).
