Partially built-in dishwashers

Users rarely pay attention to how much time it takes to wash the dishes, so this process has become routine. According to statistics, about 5 tons of dishes have to be washed annually, while spending about 2 hours a week. A fully or partially built-in dishwasher will greatly facilitate this work.

Such an installation is a common household appliance among modern kitchen designs. It does not take up much space, it is very functional and looks nice. The design is selected individually, taking into account the overall interior of the entire room.

This specific name of the device is explained by its location, that is, only the body of the equipment is fully built in, and the control panel, which is located on the facade, is left open.

Demand for partially built-in dishwashers is growing. More and more users are choosing a similar design. This is explained primarily by convenience - this technique fits perfectly into the interior, takes up little space, washing dishes will take less than an hour.

It differs slightly from a fully integrated dishwasher. The main difference is that a fully-fledged built-in machine is completely immersed in the niche of the kitchen unit. From above it is closed with a countertop, and the material of the same furniture that is used to decorate the entire kitchen design is attached to its door. This means that at first glance you will not understand where the unit is located.

There are several variations of this technique:

• full-size;

• compact (desktop);

• narrow.

And also dishwashers can be divided into types, starting from its capacity. The depth usually does not reach more than 55 cm.

The most popular is the 45 cm wide semi-recessed model, since it is compact, narrow, does not take up much space, and holds an average amount of dishes (9-12 sets), which is suitable for an average family of 2-4 people. This machine can easily and without problems be placed among kitchen cabinets of standard sizes.

Small dishwashers are on average 45-55 cm wide, 45-60 cm high and 50 cm deep. There are also narrow models, they will be taller (about 80-82 cm), but at the same time they are no different in other parameters.

Full-size cars are larger, respectively, and the kitchen for their accommodation needs more spacious, otherwise it will be completely inconvenient to use it. Similar devices in height, like narrow ones, reach 82 cm, in width - 60 cm, in depth - 55 cm.

The dishwasher frees its user from a partial kitchen routine. She will be able to wash any dishes, despite the most stubborn dirt, besides, it saves water and human time.

Sometimes it is very difficult to decide on the choice of a model. After all, it is desirable that it is suitable in terms of quality and finance, but it does not disappoint in use either.

We offer a rating of several of the best options for partially built-in dishwashers.

A slim, compact machine that fits even in the smallest kitchen. Has 5 levels of water distribution, which provides an excellent result after washing. For a family with a small child, this is, in general, an ideal option, since there is a child lock function here, it allows you to close access to the common panel, and it becomes much more difficult to open its doors.

A small device with a width of 45 cm, which is just right for the average family. In this model, the first function on the market appeared - an auxiliary sprinkler, it assumes coverage of every corner and object, leaving no dirt anywhere. The machine has a maximum load of 9 sets, it will wash everything quickly, and since it belongs to the A ++ energy saving class models, large utility costs are not expected. And you can also immerse glasses and other fragile glass elements into the device without any fear.

If the kitchen design is decorated in dark shades, then this dishwasher is exactly what you need. The stylish black metal model will definitely suit everyone's taste. It has a delayed start function, which allows you to start washing, for example, when no one is at home, so that the dishes are not inside the device all day. And also among the characteristics of low water consumption, there are 6 operating modes and an electronic type of control. Quite compact, 55 cm wide and quiet.

The optimal solution for a spacious modern kitchen. It is very wide (60 cm) and can hold 12 sets of dishes. Has a beautiful stainless steel color that shines with a bright white tint. Will easily cope with any dirt. For convenience, you can also use 3 in 1 detergents and do not look for special ones. The machine is included in the A ++ energy saving class, therefore optimal energy consumption is guaranteed.

When choosing any technique, first of all, you should pay attention not to a beautiful picture, but to the "stuffing" of the structure. The most important selection criterion, especially if there is a small child in the house, is the noise that the machine makes during operation. The optimal range should range from 38 to 55 dB, but the most comfortable maximum level that will not interfere with normal sleep is 45 dB.

When buying a device, you need to remember that there are 2 types of control: mechanical and software (or electronic). This is necessary so that a person chooses what suits him best, and that the user personally will be comfortable using.

And also from the seller it will be useful to clarify which drying mechanism is built into the equipment. Now more and more machines appear on the market, which are equipped with the so-called turbo-drying (inside the hopper, warm air moves in a circle with a special mechanism, which allows the dishes to dry naturally).

When choosing a dishwasher, many people primarily look at the price. But it is important to remember that only more advanced designs have a "delicate wash" mode. It is designed for delicate glassware (e.g. glasses). Therefore, when buying a cheap model, it is not recommended to wash such elements in it, this threatens them with damage or even destruction, which can subsequently harm the equipment itself.

To begin with, the machine is placed in a specially designated place in the kitchen cabinet, fixing it with fasteners. Then they are connected to the sewerage system, water supply and power supply.

First of all, they begin to connect the equipment to the sewer. The drain from the machine drain is connected to a conventional sink siphon using a shut-off valve. This must be done in such a way that the ingress of drains from the sink, as well as the spread of various odors, are completely excluded.Each connection must be made with high quality so that no water leakage occurs.

Next, the equipment should be connected to the water supply system. It is recommended to add it to cold water, since hot water is slightly inferior in quality. In addition, the limitation of the connecting pipelines is +70 degrees, and if there is no complete certainty that the temperature of the incoming water will not exceed the minimum, then it is better not to risk it. It must be remembered that the hoses must not have kinks or clamps, and must also run close to heating elements. In the case of installing a dishwasher in a private house, where frosts are possible, in the cold season, it is recommended to drain the water beforehand before low temperatures and leave the system dry.

And the last step in the installation is to connect to electricity. The socket must be of the European type, it is also necessary to carry out grounding. Recommended amperage 16 A.
