4" Toe Kick Installations D1796FI and D1996FI with Custom Panel Door
Where the custom panels height matches the dishwashers door, a 2" decorative fill strip or
cutting board must be used to fill the area between the panel and the counter top
(A).
For this installation, the custom door panel dimensions are 23-1/2" wide x 28-1/8" high.
The opening width is 23-3/4", 3/8" narr
ower than standard domestic dishwashers.
Another installation option for 4" toe kick cabinets is to extend the door panel 1-3/4" above/beyond the control panel (B).
This eliminates the need for a 2" decorative fill strip. This door panel is 23-1/2" wide x 30-1/8" high (two inches higher
than previous option). This also means a 2" suppor
t strip must be installed between the tank and the counter top to fill
the gap. Even though, like all ASKOs, the D1796FI and D1996FI can be mounted with screws going through the sides,
this support strip can also be used for anchoring the unit from the top. A popular and more finished looking installation is to
use the metal top fill strip shown in Dishwasher Accessories (page 6). It fills the gap between the top of the tank and the
counter top. When used, the dishwasher is mounted with screws through the sides of the tank into the sides of the cabinets.
The custom door panel should be at least 3/4" thick.
6" Toe Kick Installations D1796FI and D1996FI
with Custom Panel Door
For 6" toe kick installations, fill strips are unnecessary. These units install like a
standard ASKO dishwasher.
Installing the custom panel is simple. No additional trim kit is needed. Four
screws go through the dishwashers pre-drilled door and into the back of the
panel. The screw heads are completely hidden when the door is closed.
See the Dishwasher Installation Instructions for detailed information.
