(Models KUDC03IV and KUDS30IV)
All models require an accessory option to attach custom
panels. Kit Number 8171555 (black), 8171556 (white) or
8171557 (biscuit) are available. To order, call customer
service at 1-800-444-1230.
NOTE: A custom full-front panel must weigh no more
than 14 lbs (6.3 kg) and must be made to specific
dimensions. It is recommended that a cabinetmaker cut
the custom panel because of the precise dimensions
needed.
IMPORTANT: Use a moisture-resistant sealer on both
sides and all edges of the panel to avoid damage from
humidity.
NOTE: These dimensions are for frameless custom panel
models with a 4" (10.2 cm) console only.
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.

Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install
dishwasher.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
Using 2 or more people, stand the dishwasher up.
Mark all four hole locations; remove outer panel and drill
³⁄₃₂" pilot holes ¹⁄₂" (13 mm) deep, in customer-supplied
custom panel. Place the outer panel on the back of the
customer-supplied custom panel and align holes. Attach
outer panel to back of customer-supplied custom panel
with four #10 x ¹⁄₂" wood screws (not supplied). If the
customer-supplied custom panel is less than ³⁄₄" (1.9 cm)
thick where the screws are attached, shorter screws may be
required.
Attach the panel assembly to the door by reinstalling the
three screws on each side.
Gently set outer panel aside. Lay the cutomer-supplied
custom panel face down on a non-scratching surface.
Position the outer panel on the back of the customer-supplied
custom panel as shown; make sure top edge of the outer
panel is aligned with the top edge of the customer-supplied
custom panel, and both panels are centered side to side.
