10. Installing the toekick.
To prevent damaging the front
panel, and before installing the con-
tinuous and removable toekick,
measurements must be taken to en-
sure that the toekick will not inter-
fere with the complete opening of
the dishwasher door.
The toekick area of the dishwasher is nor-
mally covered with a toekick run match-
ing the kitchen furniture.
The panel overhang (P), and toekick
depth of recess (R), determine the maxi-
mum dishwasher toekick height (H).
If the panel contacts the toekick
while the dishwasher door is being
opened, the dishwasher toekick
must be cut shorter or recessed
deeper.
If (H) is equal to or less than the toekick
height of the adjoining cabinetry, no in-
terference will exist, provided that (R) is
at least 19 mm (3/4").
Note:
If a decorative or flush mount toekick is
desired, and (R) is less than 19 mm
(3/4"), other modifications, such as
beveling the top rear edge of the toe-
kick, may be adequate.
If your kitchen does not have a toekick
run matching the kitchen furniture, the
toekick area can be covered with a sep-
erate toekick kit, available at extra cost.
