Using this Dishlex DX103WK control panel is a breeze. First, make sure your dishwasher is turned off and unplugged for safety. Then, carefully remove the old control panel by unscrewing it. Line up the new panel in place and screw it back on firmly. When using the dishwasher, just operate the controls on the panel as you normally would with a manual timer knob. As for maintenance, keep the panel clean by wiping it with a soft, damp cloth regularly. Avoid using abrasive cleaners that could scratch the surface. If you notice any issues with the panel, like cracks reappearing or buttons not working, contact us right away as it's covered by our guarantee.
