1. Preparation

1. Gather Materials:

   • Custom vinyl wrap (ensure correct size).

   • Heat gun or hairdryer.

   • Squeegee, utility knife, and lint-free rag.

   • Cleaning agents: rubbing alcohol or glass cleaner.

2. Clean Thoroughly:

   • Use rubbing alcohol or glass cleaner to clean the dishwasher's surface.

   • Pay extra attention to corners and edges to ensure there’s no residue or dust.

   • Dry the surface completely with a lint-free cloth.

2. Starting the Application

1. Align the Vinyl:

   • Position the vinyl on the dishwasher, ensuring it’s aligned properly.

   • For test alignment, use the included small vinyl scrap to practice before starting.

2. Secure One Edge:

   • Peel a small section of the backing paper to secure the top edge of the vinyl.

   • Smooth down the edge to prevent shifting during application.

3. Smoothing the Surface

1. Work Slowly:

   • Gradually peel the backing as you press the vinyl onto the surface.

   • Use the squeegee to smooth out air bubbles. Start from the center and push outward.

2. Tackle Air Bubbles:

   • If air bubbles appear, gently lift the vinyl and reapply it.

   • Use the squeegee to press out smaller bubbles.

4. Handling Curved Areas and Edges

1. Apply Heat:

   • Use a heat gun or hairdryer to soften the vinyl, making it more pliable.

   • Be cautious not to overheat; gentle warmth is sufficient.

2. Wrap Around Curves:

   • Stretch the vinyl gently over curved areas while applying pressure with the squeegee.

3. Cut Precisely:

   • Use the utility knife to cut excess vinyl along the edges or around handles.

   • Press down the edges firmly to secure them.

5. Finishing Touches

1. Trim Excess:

   • Once the vinyl is fully applied, trim any leftover material for a clean edge.

2. Inspect for Bubbles:

   • Use your hands or squeegee to double-check for air bubbles.

   • For stubborn bubbles, use the knife tip to pop them gently, then smooth the area.

6. Maintenance and Removal

1. Durable Material:

   • Vinyl is designed to last, but handle it gently during cleaning.

   • Avoid using abrasive materials to clean the wrap.

2. Easy Removal:

   • If you want to replace the vinyl, heat it slightly to loosen the adhesive and peel it off.

Pro Tips

• Take Your Time: Rushing can lead to creases or misalignment.

• Practice First: Use the test vinyl piece provided to get comfortable with the material.

• Ask for Help: If you're struggling, a second set of hands can make alignment and smoothing easier.
