Built-in dishwashers 40 cm wide

Small families, having small kitchens, purchase dishwashers 40 cm wide. There are many such families, therefore the demand for narrow appliances is great. How to choose a successful dishwasher in all respects and, indeed, whether it will be 40 cm, we will tell in our article.

People in the Soviet Union knew nothing about household dishwashers, while in Europe they entered homes everywhere. Today, we are trying to get rid of routine homework. Even those who have nowhere to turn around in the kitchen dream of buying an assistant technician. They look for the smallest options, calculate every centimeter of the area where it can be built.

Having heard about narrow machines 40 cm wide, do not rush to measure out a place for it with engineering precision. The size "40" is very conditional, in fact, it can be 44 cm, 45 cm or even 48 cm wide. All these figures make it possible to classify the equipment as "narrow", but manufacturers do not produce clear dimensions - "40", therefore not worth considering. The minimum width of the unit in history belonged to the Ardo ME 5661 model - 40.4 cm, it has long been discontinued. As it turned out, cars with parameters less than 45 cm are unprofitable. Narrow technique already outperforms full-size options up to 15 cm of space.

Due to the wide range of sizes, you can buy a dishwasher in a kitchen with any area. In terms of size, such equipment is divided into three categories: full-size, narrow and compact. The last option is a low machine designed for only two sets of dishes.

Dishwashers up to 50 cm wide can be divided into three types: built-in, partly built-in, free-standing. Their height (85 cm) and depth (57-65 cm) does not particularly differ from full-size cars; space is saved due to the width of the model.

The technique of this category has its pros and cons. The advantages include a number of points.

• The ability to provide small-sized kitchens with dishwashers with an optimal volume for them. The unit can be installed under a sink, in a closet, in an opening between other appliances or furniture.

• The capacity of the baskets is 8-10 sets, which is quite suitable for a family of 3-4 people. Plus, you can wash your dishes on time, as the machine is fully loaded faster than the full-size model.

• Technology makes less noise.

• It uses energy more economically (due to the condensation drying method), approximately 0.9 kW / h.

• Water also consumes less full-size versions - 8-13 liters.

• The family budget will benefit from the purchase price over the standard product.

Now let's move on to the disadvantages.

• The volume of the working chamber is inferior to a full-size machine. The crockery will be loaded 4-6 sets less.

• Problems will arise with the maintenance of non-standard utensils - baking trays, saucepans, large pots and pans.

• The number of offered options for this type of equipment is inferior to the standard version.

Although in narrow machines the software is less than in full-size types, 5-8 functions are enough for them for a full-fledged dishwashing. Most often, the main programs are found.

1. Protection against leaks ("Aqua-stop").The machine does not allow spills; when the chamber is overcrowded, it independently disconnects from the water supply and drains the water into the sewer.

2. Floor projection. A ray of light on the floor indicates that the machine is running. If it is not there, then the washing process is over. Some models are endowed with sound signals.

3. On timer. It allows, after loading the machine, to set the switch-on time at a later convenient time.

4. Water softness sensor. As soon as the water becomes harder than the norm, the sensor informs that it is time to replenish the reserves of the regenerating substance. Complying with the standards, you can better wash dishes and extend the life of the dishwasher.

5. Height adjustment of baskets. The compartments are set according to the level of the bookmark of kitchen utensils. The machines have a cutlery section.

Almost every narrow dishwasher contains programs:

• quick wash;

• soak;

• washing intensity;

• economy mode;

• delicate wash;

• option for detergent tablets.

There are many factors to consider when choosing a narrow dishwasher.

• Where it will be located. The free space is calculated, conclusions are drawn about the possible parameters of the technique.

• The distance to the sockets is taken into account.

• The location of the drain is taken into account.

• An important indicator will be the number of people in the family.

• Frequency of cooking and meals.

• The dimensions of the dishes themselves are taken into account, especially its non-standard types.

It is necessary to decide which machine is needed - built-in or free-standing. In small kitchens, saving every centimeter of space, it is better to build appliances into furniture or under a sink. But the maintenance of this option is more difficult.

Having decided on the type of dishwasher, you need to pay attention to several important points.

• Durability is influenced by the materials from which all the internal elements of the machine are made. They should be stainless steel, the less plastic the better.

• The noise level should be in the range of 44-46 dB.

• By choosing a class A technique, you can significantly save on electricity.

• It is convenient to use the machine, which is adjustable in the height of the baskets, there is a cutlery tray and holders for glasses.

• Before using a new dishwasher, set it to the hardness of the local water. Such data is not always available. Therefore, it is better to purchase equipment that adjusts automatically. As a last resort, you can adjust the equipment to average values.

As for drying, it has three types.

1. The heat exchanger works with hot steam.

2. Condensation drying is carried out by moisture evaporation. For narrow cars, this is the most common option.

3. The intensive one is powered by a hot blower fan. Installed in premium cars.

When choosing modes, you need to pay attention to the following programs:

• the fastest mode;

• for special pollution;

• delicate treatment;

• soak;

• economical washing.
