It is recommended to use a paper template to make the correct markings of where the front fixing will be. As for a screwdriver, you can get by with a screwdriver, but it will take more time, so if you have a tool at your disposal, use it.

How to install by yourself?

Installing the facade on a Bosch dishwasher follows a specific scheme. Installation can be done in different ways, it all depends on whether there will be a technician in a headset or separately. If we are talking about the first option, the door will need to be hung. This is a simple manipulation, especially with equipment from such a popular brand. Often all stages are prescribed in the instructions.

To make the hinge of the facade successful, use the following algorithm... First, the equipment is set to the desired height using special screws. If you are using an embedded technique, then it is already equipped with a ready-made template, so there will be no problems. The elements must be screwed into special grooves that are located on the unit body. After that, the screws used by the manufacturer must be replaced with long fittings with nuts. This will make the panel more durable.

The facade is attached in another way. Before fixing it, you can stick double-sided tape. It will be useful to stock up on a cable with a cross section of 1.5 mm. The socket must be grounded. By adhering to all the recommendations, you can easily install a decorative door with minimal time and money. The facade is a panel element made of furniture materials.

Thanks to it, you can hide the dishwasher so as not to spoil the interior.

The panel for units with a depth of 45 and 65 cm has its own advantages. First of all, there is no need to select the color of the equipment, the buttons are invisible, therefore they are protected from accidental pressing by children... At the same time, the facade can perform the function of sound insulation, and during operation the noise is not so audible, and this is already a plus.Fiberboard is often used as a material, which has an average density. The standard thickness is about 1.6 cm, and the film follows the texture, color and texture of the kitchen set.

Removing the old facade

This is the most basic step. To remove the panel, you need to use a screwdriver, unscrew the mount and dismantle the door. After that, you can start installing the decorative facade.

Helpful hints

Sometimes the facade may not be the same size, so you have to adjust it a little. Take measurements, then saw off the part that prevents the dishwasher from opening with a jigsaw... Sometimes you need to rearrange the mount to make the door fit perfectly. After the saw cut, the lower part and legs of the equipment will be noticeable, so the gap can spoil the interior composition. Saw off carefully so that no chips form.

Use sandpaper to keep the surface smooth. If the facade has a drawing or pattern, this method will not work. To solve the problem with the print, you do not need to throw away the sawn-off part. Use hinges to hang the piece on. It will hang loosely on the bottom of the panel, covering it. Thus, the appearance will be preserved, and the door will open without obstacles. To avoid other mistakes, use a tape measure or ruler to measure everything carefully.

It is important to choose the correct length of the self-tapping screw so that it does not stick out from the back of the panel, but at the same time fix it tightly. Attach the handle at the same height as in the rest of the headset cabinets. As you can see, to install the decorative panel, you will need a set of screws, the door itself, and a tool to do everything right and start operating the dishwasher.
