With the purchase of a dishwasher, the question becomes urgent: where to place it? The most rational solution will be its location under the sink, where there is free space. In many cases a garbage can is placed under the sink, and about 40 cm of unused space remains.
Machines are divided into separate and embedded. Under the sink, as a rule, there is a built-in dishwasher having such dimensions:
- height of 40 cm or 60 cm;
- width of 40 cm;
- the depth is 40-45 cm.
Recommendations for choosing a built-in dishwasher under the sink
Measure the dimensions for the installation taking into account the size of the kitchen furniture.
Determine the capacity of the machine. Compact machines, as a rule, can accommodate from 4 to 6 sets of dishes.
Pay attention to the presence of protection from leaks.
Why can not you install a stand-alone model?
In its complete set, a compact built-in dishwasher under the sink differs from a stand-alone by the presence of a special panel under the countertop. It is designed to protect furniture from steam, which penetrates from the appliance door. The panel covers the space above the door and does not allow damage to the furniture.
Compact models are equipped with several modes, able to cope with different degrees of contamination of dishes. They are able to cope with their task no worse than full-size ones. The machines have a 1.5 m drain hose, which will be sufficient for connection. The drain can be taken directly to the sink and does not have to be connected to the sewage drain.
Dishwashers under the sink have long become a necessary attribute in the kitchen. Compact devices will solve the problem of lack of space and perfectly fit into the interior of the room.
