ALL ELECTRICAL WIRING, GROUNDING AND PLUMBING SHOULD BE DONE IN
ACCORDANCE WITH NATIONAL AND LOCAL CODES BY QUALIFIED INDIVIDUALS.
CHECK LOCAL PLUMBING CODES
FOR APPROVED PLUMBING
PROCEDURES AND ACCESSORIES.
This appliance must be connected to a
grounded metal, permanent wiring system;
or an equipment-grounded conductor must
be run with the circuit conductors and con-
nected to the equipment-grounding terminal
or lead on the appliance.
This dishwasher is designed for operation on
an individual 120 VAC, 60 Hz grounded
electrical circuit. Use required fuse (15 amp)
or comparable circuit breaker. Two wire
with ground service to the dishwasher is rec-
ommended for connection at the terminal
box and for grounding.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN: In Step 5, the unit may need to be removed from the cabinet during the installa-
tion of the heavy-duty springs. A qualified electrician and/or plumber, as necessary, should be used to
make any electrical or plumbing connections during that installation.
Panel Installation Instructions for a Jetclean II Dishwasher:
Step 1: Make the Wood Panel
• Cut the wood panel to the size shown in Figure 1.
The height of your wood panel will be one of two
sizes depending on which DAX Kit you have.
For DAX3000 Kits: Dimension A = 25”
For DAX3090 Kits: Dimension A = 25 15/16”
FIGURE 1- Panel Dimensions
Part No. 6 918172 A 2 DAX3000AX*/DAX3090AX*

Step 1.1: For 1/4” Wood Panels ONLY.
For 3/4” Thick Wood Panels, go to Step 1.2.
• In addition to the rectangular face of
the wood panel, you will need to cut
the pieces shown in Figure 2.
Note: All pieces are 1/2” thick.
For DAX3000 Kits: Dimension B = 24 3/4”
For DAX3090 Kits: Dimension B = 23 11/16”
• Glue the shims you just made to the back of the 1/4” thick
wood panel as shown in Figure 3 using Carpenter’s glue
(yellow glue). With a damp rag, wipe up any excess glue
squeezed out while the glue is still wet.
• Apply gentle pressure and allow glue to dry fully before
attempting to assemble the wood panel to the door.
Drying time for the glue may be up to 24 hours. Read the
glue bottle for more complete drying time information.
After the glue has dried, it can be scraped off using a
putty knife and sanded smooth, if necessary.
Step 1.2: All Wood Panel Types.
• In order to drill the holes to attach the bezel, you will need to use the bezel as a drill guide. Place the
wood panel face down on your work surface with the top of the panel pointing at you.
• Align the bezel along the top of the wood panel, centered from left to right as it is shown in Figure 4.
The tabs of the bezel now contact the back of the wood panel.

Step 1.2, cont’d:
FIGURE 4 – Alignment of the Bezel to the Panel or Top Shim
• Drill through the center of the holes in the tabs on the bottom of the bezel with the 1/8” drill bit. Drill
far enough to locate the holes without drilling too deep. Do not drill more than 1/2” into the wood.
• Once you have marked the center of the holes with the 1/8” drill bit, come back with the 3/8” bit to cut
the final size and the final depth of 1/2”.
TIP: Use masking tape on your drill bit to mark a maximum drill depth of 1/2” so you won’t drill all the
way through your wood panel.
Step 2:Apply Panel to Door Temporarily.
• Disconnect power to dishwasher at the circuit breaker.
• Remove one side of the backer from tape strips and apply to the back of the panel in the locations
shown in Figure 5.
TIP: Before removing the backing strips on the foam tape, try dry fitting the panel to the bezel. It will
help improve your feel for the process before you apply the wood panel to the door. Once the sticky
side of the foam tape has been pressed to the door, it can not be removed without damage to the
foam tape.
Part No. 6 918172 A 4 DAX3000AX*/DAX3090AX*

Step 2, cont’d:
• Remove the backer material from all five (5) pieces
of mounting tape now applied to the back of the
wood panel.
• Slip the tabs on the upper edge of the bezel up under
lower lip of the control panel.
• Center the wood panel under the bezel making sure
the holes drilled near the top edge of the back side
of the wood panel align with the posts protruding
from the bottom tabs of the bezel. This will ensure
the bezel and panel are aligned properly.
• Press the wood panel firmly onto the dishwasher to
make sure the foam tape makes good contact.
Step 3: Attach Mounting Trim to Door
• Carefully lower door until it is all the way down. It
may now seem quite heavy. Later, you will adjust the
springs to compensate for the weight of the door.
• Loosen the six (6) screws indicated in Figure 6 using
the T-20 screwdriver until they are about 1/4” above
the plastic Inner Door, or about 4 full turns.
• Insert the Mounting Trim Strip into the space provided
between the plastic Inner Door and the Steel Outer Door
that came with your dishwasher as is shown in Figure 7.
Make sure the holes for the mounting screws line up with
the holes in the steel Outer Door and the plastic Inner Door.

Step 3, cont’d:
• Retighten all six (6) screws you just loosened. Torque them until hand-tight.
• The Mounting Trim Strips should now wrap around the wood panel and the original outer portion of
the door.
• Close and latch the door.
Step 4:Attach Mounting Trim to Wood Panel
• Drill pilot holes for the Panel Mounting Screws through the four (4) holes on each side in the Mounting
Trim Strips using the 1/8” drill bit. Piloting the holes will help keep your wood from splitting where the
screw enters.
• Drive the Panel Mounting Screws provided with the kit through the Mounting Trim Strips into the wood
panel.
Step 5: Adjust Springs
Note: If your wood panel weighs more than 4 lbs., you will need the heavy-duty springs provided in
this kit.
TIP: To prevent damage to the Toe Panel Assemblies, remove the four lower mounting screws using a
1/4” socket screwdriver or a Phillips head screwdriver and set the panels aside while you are adjusting
the springs.
• Remove both of the Toe Panel Assemblies using a 1/4” socket screwdriver or a Phillips head screwdriver.
• Visually check to make sure you have enough slack in your electrical connection, water line connection
and drain hose connection to remove the unit approximately one (1) foot.
Note: If you do not have enough slack in your connections, you will need to turn off the water
beneath the sink and disconnect any necessary connections. Refer to your Original Installation
Instructions for more information regarding the location of these connections. All electrical wiring,
grounding and plumbing should be done in accordance with national and local codes by quali-
fied individuals.
• Using a Phillips head screwdriver, remove the mounting screws from the side mounting strips
attached to the cabinet pull the unit out of the cabinet approximately one (1) foot.
CAUTION: The top of the dishwasher should be held to
prevent the dishwasher from tipping forward when the door is
opened with the mounting screws removed.

Step 5, cont’d:
• Remove the original springs and replace them with the heavy-duty springs provided in your kit
according to Table 8.
Table 8 – Spring Usage Based on Total Panel Weight
• Adjust the spring tension as shown in Figure 9 until the
door moves up and down smoothly.
• Push the unit back into the cabinet and re-mount using
the screws you just removed from the side mounting
strips. Using your Original Installation Instructions,
reconnect any electrical, water or drain connection you
disconnected earlier.
• Be sure there are no leaks in any of the four (4) water or
drain connection locations.
• Re-mount the Toe Kick Panel using the screws you
removed when beginning the heavy-duty spring installa-
tion. Make sure the toe panel fits tightly against the
floor.
• Re-mount the Toe Panel Assemblies to the frame.
Step 6: Return power to dishwasher.
• Turn power to the dishwasher back on at the fuse or circuit breaker.
• The Dishwasher is ready to run.
• Run one (1) Rinse/ Hold cycle to verify that all connections are in place and working properly.
