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”

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.
