customized wood
panels in door and
access panel
Dishwasher door panel and access
panel (if model is so equipped) can be
customized to match wood cabinets. A
standard l/4” (7/32” actual thickness)
wood panel can be used as is for
customizing the door and access
panels,
A door panel thicker than 7/32”,
requires routing the top and bottom to a
7/32” thickness.
An access panel thicker than 7/32”,
requires routing all four edges to a 7/32”.
It is recommended that a cabinet-
maker cut the customized panels
because of the precise cuts required.
