Household appliances purchased, built-in and connected to the mains and communications. It remains to complete the work and hang the facade. How to attach it, read the article.
Install the facade on the dishwasher according to the instructions and the attached template.
Basics of installing and selecting a model
There are three main types of dishwashers:
- Freestanding.
- Partly integrated.
- Fully embedded.
If freestanding machines are located anywhere in the kitchen, then the other types of PMM "Electrolux", "Ikea", "Gorenie" and other brands are built into the furniture set. Initially determine the installation location and prepare a niche for the dishwasher. How to connect the PMM correctly, read in one of the previous articles.
The advantage of the built-in PMM model is that it is completely hidden behind the door, being part of the interior.
- This option is easier to choose, you do not need to look at the design of the case, which will fit into the kitchen.
- The hidden control panel is a big advantage if there are small children in the house.
- Reduced noise level. It is hidden by the panels of the cabinet where the equipment is mounted.
The decorative panel can be screwed to the door, hiding the equipment from prying eyes. Most often, the hinged part is made of the same material as the rest of the kitchen: for example, MDF Leroy.
A template for mounting a decorative facade comes complete with built-in models Siemens, Beko, Miele. Depending on the type of installation, the front panel can be mounted before the door is hung on the dishwasher.
Dimensions of the door and facade. Canopy and Mount
The dimensions of the decorative panel depend on the size of the dishwasher. It can be narrow - 45-60 cm, full-sized - from 60 cm or compact equipment - height 50-60 cm.
It is advisable to decide on the choice of car, and then order a kitchen with a prepared niche.
What if the facade for the dishwasher is too long? You won’t be able to cut it, because you ruin the appearance of the headset, because it is laminated from above and covered with a decorative film.
If the facade is slightly larger than the door, adjust the legs of the appliance so that it fits perfectly under the countertop.
What is needed for work:
- screwdriwer set;
- roulette;
- fasteners;
- handle on the door.
Manufacturers Bosch (Bosch), "Siemens" enclose a life-size drawing template, screws, self-adhesive, fasteners. You can figure out how to fix the panel according to the instructions. An experienced master will take no more than 10-15 minutes.
Priority of work at hitching
- Place the dishwasher in the prepared niche.
- Attach the chassis to the cabinet panels.
- Connect to the drain and the water supply.
- Prepare the holes for the handle using a Phillips screwdriver and awl.
- After fixing the handle, you need to calculate the distance (Z), which will help to put the facade flush with the rest of the kitchen door.
- Take a tape measure, measure the distance between the door of the adjacent cabinet and the countertop, as shown in the figure (X).
- Then measure the distance from the mount to the countertop (Y). Calculate: Z = X-Y.
- Place the template on the inside of the door.
- With an awl, mark the places for the location of the mounts.
- To make the fasteners more reliable, drill holes on the ¾ of the door.
- How to remove old screws? Sometimes the panels are pulled together with short screws, but their length is not enough to fasten the facade. Therefore, you need to hang the panel, unscrew the old screws and install long screws.
After installing the dishwasher under the facade, try closing the door. If the decorative part rests on the base, then there was an error in the calculations. In this case, you can make a gap in the basement the thickness of the facade.
On the Hansa, Miele technique, you can independently hang a decorative panel.
After finishing work, it is worth checking the degree of door tension. Sometimes users complain that it does not close tightly.
Adjust the mechanism: tighten the bolt that secures the tension cable. Since the door is hinged, it should be easy to close with a slight push of the fingers.
