and the toekick panel to be mounted to the floor. If the panel
isinstalled perpendicular to a wall, the side panel will also be
fastened to the wall.
The enclosure for the dishwasher must be at least 24" wide.

the screw holes for the toekick panel and the support bracket
panel. Locating the screw holes as shown will provide the
required 24" opening for the dishwasher.
The toekick panel is mounted with its 1" flange against the
floor. Similarly, the panel support bracket is mounted with its
1" flange against the underside of the countertop.
