MONOGRAM ZDT925SINII Fully Integrated Dishwasher Instruction Manual

3/4” Thick Custom Panel

Template Instructions for Top Control Integrated Dishwasher Models

The custom panel should be sized to your installation situation. See Step 1.
It is highly recommended that the custom panel be attached before installing the dishwasher.
Use this template to locate mounting screws and spacers on the custom panel.

IMPORTANT

• A custom handle must be installed onto the custom panel. Install the custom handle 4-1/2” max. from the top of the panel.

PARTS INCLUDED:

(4) Spacers
(2) #8 x 5/8” Phillips truss head stainless steel screws
(4) #8 x 7/8” Phillips truss head stainless steel wood screws
(2) Heavy duty springs

STEP 1 CUSTOM PANEL SIZE REQUIREMENTS

HEIGHT

Panel height must be between 29-13/16” and 30-1/4”.

• If the panel height is more than 30-1/4”, it will prevent the door from fitting under the cabinet.
• If the panel height is less than 29-13/16” it will not cover the dishwasher door frame.
• The bottom of the custom panel must not overhang the bottom of the metal panel. Exceeding this will cause the custom panel to hit the toe kick and the door will not fully open. Any extra length of the custom panel must overhang at the top of the door.

IMPORTANT: It is extremely important to make sure the lower vent is present and is not obstructed by the custom panel.

Lower vent must be clear.
Install custom panel above the lower vent.

WIDTH
Panel width must be 23-3/4”.

• If the panel width is less than 23-3/4” it will not cover the dishwasher door frame.

IMPORTANT: To ensure optimum door balance performance, the custom panel must not weigh more than 20 lbs.

Minimum 1/2” gap for clearance above top of metal dishwasher panel

1. Countertop
2. Top of metal dishwasher panel

STEP 2 DRAW CENTERLINE

• Place the custom panel on a flat surface with appearance side down.
• Locate the vertical center of the panel at the top.
• Use a carpenters square to draw a centerline from top to bottom.

STEP 3 ALIGN TEMPLATE TO PANEL

• Trim template on the dotted line along all sides.
• Place template on the panel aligned with the bottom edge and the centerline. Use tape to hold in place.

IMPORTANT: If the template is not aligned properly with the panel, the panel may hit the toe kick and the door will not fully open. Longer panels should overhang at the top of the door. Make sure after installation, to maintain a minimum 1/8” gap to the countertop from the custom panel.

• Use an awl to mark the screw hole locations indicated on the template. Remove the template.

1. Mark Center Screw Holes

STEP 4 INSTALL MOUNTING SCREWS AND SPACERS

If the panel is less than 3/4” thick, shorter screws must be used. Use #8 x 3/4” screws for 1/2” thick panels (not supplied).

• Use a 3/32” drill bit to drill pilot holes 3/32” deep in the marked locations. Make sure not to drill all the way through the panel.

NOTE: The custom panel is secured to the dishwasher door with the spacers and screws provided. The 4 spacers will slip into the keyhole slots on the dishwasher door.

• Drive the supplied #8 x 7/8” screws through the spacer and into the panel.
• Install remaining spacers and screws as indicated in the marked locations.

1. Spacer
2. Screw

STEP 5 INSTALL CUSTOM HANDLE

A custom handle must be installed onto the panel before the panel is secured to the dishwasher door.

• The handle should be installed so that it aligns with adjacent drawer handles, or 4-1/2” max. from the top of the panel. Secure the handle in the same manner as cabinet handles. Screws must be countersunk into the panel.

1. Screws Must Be Countersunk Into Panel
2. 4-1/2″ Max. From Top of Panel
3. Handle
4. Custom Door Panel

STEP 6 INSTALL ASSEMBLED PANEL

• Secure the panel to the door by inserting the top and bottom spacers into the matching keyhole slots.
• Make sure all 4 spacers engage the keyhole slots.
• Press the panel against the door and push downward until the spacers are fully engaged into the keyhole slots. The panel should align evenly with the top and sides.

1. Dishwasher Door
2. Custom Panel
3. Spacers Engage Keyhole Slots

Due to location of screw holes and very limited space it will be very helpful to attach screws to the driving bit with tape to keep the screw from falling off inside the door while inserting down inside. Read and follow the steps below.

1. Insert one of the supplied #8 x 5/8” truss head screws through a piece of masking tape.

2. Insert a minimum 2” long bit into head and wrap tape around end of bit. (#1 square drive preferred)

3. Use a bit extension with a max 3/8” diameter shank and a minimum 2-3/4” length.

CAUTION
It is extremely important that the 2 screws are driven into the wood panel through the metal door assembly. This locks the vertical motion of the custom panel and if not secured the panel can come off the unit during door opening/closing causing personal injury and damage to the panel.

4. Carefully open the door because door will likely be unbalanced.

Start insertion of driver at approximately 45 angle to clear the screw head past the hinge components, once the screw head is clear, rock the driver forward to a vertical position. Proceed to drive the screw. Repeat procedure for the opposite side.

A: Door shown fully open
B: Custom Panel

1. Drive screw through the hole in hinge bracket and door into the wood panel.
2. NOTICE: Do not overtighten screws. Excessive tightening of the screws could damage door edges.

a. Inner Door
b. Hinge
c. Installed screw

STEP 7 INSTALL DOOR SPRINGS

• Depending on the weight of the panel being used, additional springs may be needed to balance the door during operation. If only one spring is being attached to the cable, the spring hook should be inserted into the middle hole on the cable and the other end of the spring should be hooked on the rear tub bracket as shown below:

1. Single spring: Hook into middle hole
2. Hook on the rear tub bracket

• If multiple springs are required on each side to balance the door, the spring hooks should be inserted into the top and bottom holes on the cable as shown below:

1. Two Springs: Hook into top and bottom holes
2. Hook bottom spring into the bottom (back) hole on base rail and hook the top spring into the middle (side) hole on the same base rail

• The bottom spring opposite end should be hooked into the bottom (back) base rail hole as shown below. The top spring hooks into the middle hole (side) on the same base rail. See illustrations below.
• The following table may be used as a guideline regarding which springs to use, depending on the weight of panel being added. However, spring combinations may be adjusted based on personal preferences regarding door feel.

Spring Strength

Gray| Light Duty
Blue| Medium Duty
Black| Heavy Duty

• Close and latch the door.
• Check door balance after custom panel is installed.
• If the door drops open too fast, you may swap any of the springs with the next heaviest spring as shown in the table.
• Remove the rear screw-style leveling feet if there is spring interference.

A: Side View
B: Front View

1. Custom door panel
2. Make sure pulley cables are within pulley shoulders
3. For Single Spring: Hook onto the rear tub bracket
4. For Double Springs: Hook bottom spring into bottom (back) hole on base rail and hook top spring into middle (side) hole in base rail

TIP: If the door does not open easily or falls too quickly, check spring cable routing. The cable is held in place by “shoulders” on the pulley. Check to be sure the cable has not slipped over the pulley shoulders.
IMPORTANT: Adjust both balance springs to the same amount of tension to prevent excessive door twisting during use.
