Dishwasher - how to integrate it into the finished kitchen yourself?

Tips for integrating a dishwasher into a finished kitchen

The device for embedding into existing kitchen furniture is chosen with particular care. For this, all measurements of the headset are taken into account. The place where the dishwasher will be installed is determined in advance, and the possibility of free opening of the door is checked. The equipment is placed closer to the sewer to prevent overloading the system.

To reduce the load on the power grid, an additional automatic plug is installed on the dashboard. It will make the use of the device safer. If an energy drop occurs, it will turn off the device and secure it during a possible burning.

Before purchasing the device, determine the approximate length of the hoses. To do this, measure the interval from the site of connection to the sewerage and water supply system to the future location of the device. The store measures the length of the hoses. If they are short, others buy.

For a long and trouble-free operation, installation is carried out taking into account the following recommendations:

• if a furniture case is used as a support for the dishwasher, it must be very durable;
• the device is placed away from the hob or electric oven;
• a metal sheet is used to protect the countertop from vapors.

After completing all the steps to connect the dishwasher, the device is checked for operability. To do this, start the appliance without loading the dishes. If everything went well, the dishes are loaded into it.

Read the instructions carefully ↑

We will preface the story of how to install a dishwasher (PMM) with a banal, but important statement: a mandatory document for the installer, which must be read carefully before starting work - installation instructions. The dishwasher must be connected to the water supply, sewerage and power supply, respectively. manufacturer's requirements. Most modern household dishwashers are connected according to similar schemes, but machines of different types and brands have their own characteristics, which must be taken into account both during their installation and during operation.

If the preparation for the installation of the PMM is carried out at the stage of repairing the kitchen, when it is not yet known which specific model will be chosen, it is advisable to first determine the type of machine. First of all, with its dimensions and type of water supply. Of course, you can always redo something locally, but this is an extra waste of time and money.

Always read the instructions for the installation and operation of complex household appliances, they contain all the necessary information

Possible embedding options

• height 815-875 mm;
• width 598 and 448 mm;
• depth 550 mm.

The run-up of dimensions provides for the use of several installation options. The control elements of the devices are carried out to the end part of the door, and the legs can be adjusted in height. For a snug fit, the equipment is equipped with angle fasteners and self-tapping screws.

When installing it yourself, it is important to take into account the parameters of the kitchen set, the availability of water supply and sewerage communications, as well as a free line with an outlet. Advice! Install the machine next to the sink, where there is access to the main water supply and drainage points

Advice! Install the machine next to the sink, where there is access to the main water supply and drainage points.

Cabinet integration

If there is a cabinet with a width of more than 45 cm next to the sink, you can disguise household appliances. Installation in the cabinet of a built-in compact dishwasher will allow you to bring the drain and water intake pipes to ready-made communications. Works include:

• removal of shelves, bottom panel and back wall from the cabinet;
• vertical adjustment of the PMM body using the legs;
• connection of an extended pipe with a cold water shut-off valve;
• laying the drainage pipe into the siphon;
• organization of an additional outlet;
• installation of a decorative front panel on the door of the device.

Installation in a free-standing unit

• alignment and fixing of equipment so that it does not move during work;
• routing of hoses and pipes along the walls for easy access.

Important! The location of the PMM in a separate module eliminates the complexity of dismantling in the event of a hose rupture

Installation in a niche

The presence in the kitchen set of a special niche for a microwave, oven or compact equipment solves the question of how best to integrate a household dishwasher into a ready-made, assembled kitchen.

The separation of the niche from the communication networks provides for the use of long flexible hoses for supplying water and drains. The front part of the machine is covered with an overlay for the facades.

If embedding is not suitable

• place on the table if the dishwasher is not larger than the oven;
• put in an open module;
• put under the sink;
• allocate a small area for narrow models.

Connection to communications is carried out only upon completion of the installation of equipment.

Advice! If there is no room for a built-in device, redo the kitchen set, relocate the highways, but be prepared for high financial costs.

How to connect communications

In order to conveniently bring the hoses and wire from the PMM to the place of their connection with water supply, electricity and sewage, make a large hole or groove for them in one of the side walls of the opening, near the wall (see drawing).

Instruments

To perform the work on connecting the PMM, prepare the following tool:

• adjustable wrench;
• screwdriwer set;
• pliers;
• puncher;
• screwdriver;
• knife.

A set of tools is indispensable in the household

In addition, you will need the following materials:

• tee, preferably with a built-in shut-off valve (thread diameter - 3/4 inch);
• fluoroplastic sealing tape (FUM tape);
• copper 3-core cable with a cross-section of 2.5 mm2;
• socket with socket;
• differential machine;
• fasteners.

T-piece with integrated shut-off ball valve

Additional tools or materials may be required, such as a siphon with an additional branch for the dishwasher drain hose or a two branch splitter instead of a tee. It all depends on the specific place and method of connecting the machine.

Some rules for connecting to communications

The connection to the water supply and sewerage system should be located no further than 1.5 meters from the dishwasher body. Otherwise, problems may arise with the pressure of water or with the discharge of liquid into the sewer.

Correctly made connection of PMM to communications

A splash-proof electrical outlet with a grounding terminal must be capable of handling at least 16 A. It must be easily accessible so that the plug of the electrical cord can be easily connected. The distance from the PMM case to the outlet should not exceed 1 m. Do not connect the dishwasher to the mains through an extension cord.

Do not place the socket next to the water supply in order to avoid a short circuit

You can read more about the procedure for connecting the dishwasher to the power supply, water supply and sewerage system in this material.

As you can see, it is not difficult to install the PMM with your own hands.

This requires only tool handling skills, attention and patience.

Dishwasher types

Today, stores offer three main types of dishwashers:

1. Desktop;
2. Freestanding;
3. Embedded.

The main characteristic that desktop models can be described is compactness. Due to their small dimensions, they can be installed directly on the worktop. In this case, the installation of free-standing models will be reduced only to connecting to the mains and communications. Installation is very simple - they are placed as a separate module or in a niche in a kitchen set. The most problematic for most consumers is the installation and connection of built-in models.

Unlike conventional cars, built-in models do not interfere with the ideas that the designer decided to implement in the interior of the room. In principle, built-in dishwashers are not even visible, since they are hidden under the box - an integral part of the kitchen set. The front part, which is reliably closed by decorative facades, does not remind of their presence either. Recessed models are ideal for owners of small spaces.

Every housewife knows that before work, the dishwasher must be connected to the mains and filled with water. However, this combination is not safe. A logical conclusion follows from this - even the slightest inaccuracies are unacceptable during the installation and connection of such equipment.

If you are going to buy a kitchen set, you can immediately order the installation of a built-in dishwasher. Although not everyone will agree to this option, because this is an extra cost. Here is another unpleasant moment - before accepting a job, the owner should already be aware of how, according to the rules, this technique should be installed. Otherwise, in a month or two, there will be problems in the operation of the dishwasher.

Instructions for installing the unit into a ready-made set

The most suitable option for integrating a dishwasher is to remodel the kitchen base cabinet. To do this, you need to complete certain stages.

Preparing the place:

• unscrew the screws holding the tabletop;
• unscrew the ties securing the side and rear walls with the surface of the nearest cabinets;
• pull out a piece of furniture;
• disassemble the cabinet, leaving only the side walls with doors;
• Using a drill and a bit, drill holes in the side wall for two hoses: the water supply and the sewer hose, as well as the electrical wiring.

Dishwasher installation diagram

Install the side elements of the base:

• take a metal tie;
• install each wall separately.

Installing a built-in device:

remove the connecting hoses, power supply wire;

• slide the device into the resulting niche;
• push hoses and wiring through the holes;

use the adjustable feet to place the built-in machine in a horizontal position;

• connect the discharge hose to the sewerage system, and the cold water supply element using a brass tee to the branch pipe;
• in case of additional fastening of the hose to the wall, use anchor clamps;
• connect the device to an outlet;
• attach the plinth bezel to its place.

If it didn't work to build in the dishwasher, do not worry - study the installation instructions for your model, in extreme cases, there is always the opportunity to contact the specialists.

How to install a dishwasher in the kitchen

There are two options for installing the PMM: in the finished kitchen or in a pre-designated place in the kitchen set. Dishwashers differ in type and size:

Compact. Holds 3 to 5 place settings. Dimensions 50x60x50 cm. Installed on a countertop or under a sink.

Narrow. Width 45 cm, capacity from 6 to 10 sets. Can be fully or partially recessed.

Full size. Dimensions 65x65x90 cm, holds from 10 to 15 sets of dishes. It can be built-in and freestanding.

Usually, manufacturers in any kitchen set provide a place for placing equipment. For this, the dimensions of a narrow dishwasher are taken, 5-10 cm are added to them from all sides.If your kit does not include a special cabinet, then it is better to choose a freestanding machine. You can install it in any convenient place, even between the pedestals.

If you have prepared the drawings in advance for the placement of a Samsung, Miele or other brand dishwasher, there will be no installation problems. Otherwise, select a cabinet near the sink for embedding. Keep in mind that the distance from the PMM case to the back wall should be at least 5 cm for proper ventilation.

If you have a small family, and the kitchen area does not allow you to install a full-sized model, choose the tabletop option. You can put it under the sink, and the connection rules do not differ from other models.

Useful tips for choosing and installing PMM

• Before buying built-in appliances, measure the dimensions of your kitchen cabinet.
• The dishwasher legs can be adjusted in height. Use a level to position the machine level. Some Hotpoint Ariston, Whirlpool models are very sensitive to tilt, even 2 degrees. This may affect their future work.
• Mount the machine near a sink. This will make it easier to connect the drain and water without having to add hoses. Experts say that lengthening the hoses can lead to leakage and will also put a lot of stress on the drain pump.

When installing in furniture, install a metal plate under the worktop to protect the wood from steam. For built-in models, the plate is included.

Step 6 - finishing work

When you manage to connect all communications, all that remains is to level the equipment and carry out a control check of the installation work. As for the level, everything is quite simple here - you need to set the body to the building level by adjusting the legs. Any misalignment will negatively affect the efficiency of use and durability of the dishwasher.

After installing and connecting the dishwasher, it remains only to check the quality of its operation. To do this, you need to start a test mode in which washing without dishes (idle mode) takes place. You should watch how quickly the water is poured and drained. Also, be sure to check all butt joints for leaks.

If everything is correct, then you were able to correctly install and connect the dishwasher on your own, with which we congratulate you! We recommend that you immediately watch the visual video instruction, which shows the installation technology of the built-in model:

Video overview of installation work

Varieties of dishwashers

There are outdoor machines that look like a separate device. They are mounted wherever there is room for them. In appearance, they may resemble a washing machine. Usually, this technique is small, so you can even place it above the countertop.

There are also partially built-in units at the points of sale. They seem to be recessed into furniture, but not fully closed. The instrument control panel is usually left. There should be no unnecessary problems with how to integrate the dishwasher under the countertop, for example.

There are also built-in appliances that are sold without doors. They are equipped with guides to which the facades are attached from the same materials as the buyer's kitchen sets. On top of such a technique, you can install panels that are screwed to the top of the countertops to make the appliance stable.

Useful Tips

Here are some useful tips that will not only allow you to properly connect the dishwasher, but also extend the service life of the equipment:

• Installing a drain hose in a sink is extremely unsafe, although it makes the connection process much easier. The danger is that the waste water outlet can fall out of the sink and flood the neighbors below.
• Electrolux equipment is very demanding on the installation rules.The maximum slope to one side should not exceed 2 degrees, so be sure to check this moment with a building level.
• If you decide to buy any model from Siemens, be sure to look through the dimensions of the case and check with the norms of manufacturing the furniture, into which the installation will be carried out. Siemens very often neglects technical norms and creates non-standard dimensions, as a result of which difficulties arise when installing a dishwasher in a finished kitchen.
• Never connect the grounding contact to gas and water pipes. The grounding must be connected to the grounding bus of the apartment panel. We described how to make grounding in an apartment in a separate article.
• The air gap between the wall and the rear wall of the equipment should be at least 5 cm, which is quite enough for air circulation.
• The set includes connection rules and a visual diagram for a specific model. You only need to rely on it, because all conditions are purely individual, although they have much in common.
• It is not recommended to use surge protectors (extension cords), because they are very often the cause of accidents and fires. If there is no other way to supply power, it is recommended to make an electrical extension cord yourself. This way of connecting the dishwasher through an extension cord can be used, as an exception.
• If you decide to put a freestanding dishwasher next to the stove, refrigerator or oven, connect each appliance with a separate line from the junction box so as not to overload the outlet installed near all devices.

We also recommend watching a visual video instruction on the correct operation of the dishwasher:

Dishwasher tips

That's all the instructions on how to connect the dishwasher to the water supply, power supply and sewage system with your own hands. We hope that the information was useful and interesting for you. We also recommend that you familiarize yourself with the main malfunctions of dishwashers, so that in the future you will be familiar with how to repair equipment at home!

Preliminary work before installing PMM

There are two options for installing the dishwasher: independent and with the help of specialists. In the first case, you risk connecting the car incorrectly; in the second, you will have to part with part of the family budget.

The skills of one master is sometimes not enough, you have to call a team of specialists: a furniture assembler, a plumber and an electrician.

Services for the installation of built-in appliances are offered by companies that implement it. For a certain fee, at the appointed time, the wagon master comes, conducts all the connection work and checks the serviceability of the machine

However, if you carefully study the installation instructions, think over the connection of hoses, find or install an additional outlet, you can save money and acquire new skills by doing everything yourself.

Choosing a place taking into account the dimensions

An important step is choosing a place for installation. For the built-in model, furniture modules of the first level are suitable, that is, cabinets standing on the floor.

But if you liked a compact mini-dishwasher, then installing it is a little easier - this technique can be inserted at waist or chest level (for ease of maintenance).

There are several conditions for choosing a good place. If you do not comply with them, in the future you may encounter problems with the supply / drainage of water or maintenance of the PMM.

The furniture module adjacent to the sink is the most suitable place, since the water supply and drainage units are located nearby, so it is easy to connect the hoses. The length of the hoses should not be long, otherwise the supply and discharge of fluid becomes difficult, which often leads to breakdowns

Prudent owners, even at the stage of interior planning or renovation, think about carrying out several sockets with grounding for powerful household appliances. If there is no free electric point, you will have to pull an additional line

The machine should fit freely inside the furniture module, with a margin of 5 cm on each side - for more precise information, see the instructions. The walls of the cabinet must be strong and can withstand the fasteners and the weight of the dishwasher. The back wall is not provided

Do not expect the machine to be installed once and for all. Sooner or later, you will need to replace parts, reconnect hoses or clean some elements. Therefore, the installation is carried out in such a way that possible dismantling is easy, and access to communications is open.

Dishwasher maintenance

A lot of installation difficulties arise when the dishwasher is integrated into an already installed kitchen set. We have to adjust the size of the cabinets, and sometimes dismantle and redo some of the furniture.

We recommend that you take care of the installation site before buying furniture. This also applies to the rest of the household appliances that require embedding. Usually, the models you like are chosen first, and when drawing up a sketch of the typeface, their location and exact dimensions are taken into account. We have given recommendations for choosing a built-in dishwasher in this material.

Preparation of tools and materials

Manufacturers of embedded PMMs sometimes list in the instructions which tools can be useful during the installation process. However, they expect that the preliminary work has already been done.

If measures are required for laying a power line or tapping into a pipe, then the list of necessary items will increase.

For insurance and saving time, you should stock up on the following tools:

• hammer drill or powerful drill;
• adjustable wrench;
• hammer;
• a set of screwdrivers, including flat and Phillips;
• chisel;
• pliers;
• laser level;
• tape measure, square, pencil;
• screwdriver.

In addition to tools, you will need connection parts. It is not recommended to use used elements - this will reduce the service life.

To install the socket, you need to buy the electrical / installation product itself, a socket for it, a three-core copper cable, an additional automatic protective device.

Special requirements are imposed on the outlet: it must be of the "European" type, with grounding, preferably with protection against moisture, completely serviceable, without damage

To connect the water, you will need a metal tee for tapping into the water supply, fum tape, a water cut-off valve, rubber gaskets, clamps or ties for fasteners.

If the siphon is not provided for connecting another drain hose, then it will also have to be changed.

If the voltage in the network often fails, we recommend purchasing a stabilizer. It can be installed on multiple devices at once.

The ratio of the size of the opening of furniture and the dimensions of the dishwasher

To properly install the dishwasher in the kitchen set, you need to correctly correlate its dimensions with the dimensions of the niche. It's good if you have already looked after the desired PMM model for yourself, but there is no furniture in the kitchen yet. Then you can independently calculate the dimensions of the future opening for the ideal placement and fastening of the equipment.

Approximate ranges of sizes of different models of dishwashers

The ratio of the dimensions of the openings and the dimensions of the PMM must meet several important conditions:

• between the body of the machine and the tabletop, as well as the side walls of the opening, there must be gaps of at least 5 mm on each side;
• from the rear wall of the opening to the rear panel of the dishwasher body there should be a distance of 80 to 100 mm for convenient placement of the supplied hoses and the electrical cord.

It is best if there is no rear wall in the opening at all - this will avoid kinking the filler and drain hoses connected to the PMM.

Examples of calculation of openings for different PMM

The ratio of the size of the machine and the niche for its installation

If you purchased or just looked after a narrow PMM model with a width of 448 mm, a height of 818 mm and a depth of 570 mm, calculating the dimensions of the opening is not a very difficult task. Add 5 mm to the cabinet width on both sides and you get a minimum opening width of 458 mm. If the height of the niche should be 5 mm higher than the height of the body, then the indicator will correspond to 823 mm. To the depth of the case - 570 mm - add another 100 mm and get the result - 670 mm (see drawing).

Calculating the size of the opening for a full-size dishwasher

The dimensions of the niche for installing a full-size dishwasher are calculated in the same way (see drawing).

It will not be difficult to hang the facade on the door of the built-in PMM. The instructions for the technique contain information on how to mount the fasteners into which the facade is inserted. Then it is fixed and attracted to the door using fasteners.

We bring to the attention of our readers a video on how to attach the facade to the door of a Bosch machine:

Drain-to-drain connection

This method of self-connecting the dishwasher to the sewer is considered very common. In this case, the connection will be via a siphon. The method under consideration requires careful actions from the master and adherence to all advice regarding connecting the dishwasher to the sewer. The drain is to be equipped with a special outlet and a check valve. This will reduce the likelihood of water getting directly from the drain into the dishwasher.

The outgoing hose from the machine must be fixed on the wall or pedestal. It is best to place it 50 cm above the drain inlet.
To make a self-drainage of water from the dishwasher, we tilt the hose at a special angle. The angle is prescribed in the instructions for your car model.
We connect the drain circuit to the siphon under the sink itself.
When there is no siphon for drainage under the sink, then the PMM drain hose must be connected to the drainage pipe of the sewer, after which the joint should be wrapped as tightly as possible with tape.
Under the influence of pressure, the hose can fall out, so that it stays tightly on the sink, you have to use a special holder.
To connect to the siphon, you need to use an additional fitting. In Moscow stores, you can find ready-made options for PMM.
Before connecting the drain, it is necessary to re-check the size of the hose.

It is important that it is sufficient, it is better not to use a very long one, because this negatively affects the efficiency of the pumping equipment.

Subtleties of installing a dishwasher in a cabinet

If the cabinet was ordered for the dimensions of a specific model, then there should be no problems with installation.

The dishwasher body fits freely in the niche, while leaving small gaps on both sides. To reduce vibration, seals are glued to the walls.

When installing some dishwashers, for example, Bosch, there is an obligatory part - a metal protective plate, fixed on the lower surface of the tabletop. Cars of other brands may not have it

To take into account all the nuances of the connection, the machine must be installed in the following order:

• first, try on - push the unit into a cabinet or a niche, check the compliance of the dimensions, the possibility of connection;
• pull out and carry out preparatory measures - fix the mounting panels, fasteners and vapor protection;
• connect the hoses, push the body into place;
• install decorative panels.

The difficulty lies in the fact that the models of different manufacturers differ, therefore, some installation points also have discrepancies. In order not to be mistaken, you must carefully study the instructions and follow all the recommendations step by step.

Here are some tips to help you when setting up your dishwasher:

Installation instructions and recommendations from the manufacturer

Before "planting" the decorative front on the car door, first degrease its surface, then glue the double tape, and on it - the panel. This is necessary in order to be able to correct the position of the overlay.

When it becomes clear that the holes on the door and the panel match, you can take a screwdriver and tighten the screws. We recommend that you read the detailed instructions for installing the facade on a dishwasher.

The last is the side fastening. From the inside of the case, insert self-tapping screws into the holes opposite the bushings and also tighten them with a screwdriver. Do not use nails, otherwise the machine parts may be deformed during dismantling.

How to protect your countertop

The moment you open the dishwasher, steam comes out and moisture settles on the underside of the worktop. Regular wetting can lead to swelling and surface destruction. In this case, not only the tabletop will suffer, but also the facade. To protect furniture from moisture, special waterproof plates should be used. Manufacturers offer various protection options - metal, plastic or film elements. Metal plates are included with Bosch dishwashers. Electrolux offers protection from a special film. If there is no plate in the kit, this does not mean that it is not needed. In this case, you will have to find an alternative yourself - you can stick adhesive tape, attach a piece of metal, or purchase the finished element separately.

Irreplaceable assistant in the kitchen

Regardless of the functional equipment, the dishwasher will be able to benefit the hostess in her everyday affairs. It saves time as well as water consumption. This is especially true in modern conditions, when it remains only to be amazed at how quickly the tariffs for utilities are growing. This useful household appliance will be able to return the money spent on it in just 2-3 years of active use.

Recently, many consumers do not even really think about whether they need a dishwasher in the kitchen. Many can no longer imagine their life without this useful unit, therefore, after purchasing a stove and a refrigerator, they begin to think about this device. But in order for this technique to work during the period that the manufacturer laid down in it, it is necessary to correctly install it.

Many owners install the dishwasher in the kitchen set with their own hands, thereby hoping to save not only time, but also money. But this does not always go without complications, because not everyone is familiar with the nuances of this process. Even the fact that each model comes with installation instructions doesn't help them much. To do this, you need to have certain skills and knowledge that the average consumer simply does not have.

Preparing communications

It is no secret that a built-in dishwasher needs a stable electrical connection, water supply (sometimes hot and cold water immediately) and sewerage. It is better to prepare these communications at the very beginning of the kitchen renovation. Let's start with the electrics.

1. Using a puncher and a chisel, we cut the wall for electrical wiring.
2. In the switchboard, we make a conclusion of a three-core wire, put a difavtomat.
3. We connect a pre-prepared copper wire to the difavtomat and pull it into the kitchen, through a chiselled channel to the location of the socket.
4. We gouge a niche for the socket box, install it and bring out the wire.
5. We disassemble the moisture-resistant outlet, connect it to the wires and screw it in place.

At first glance, nothing complicated, but in practice problems may arise, so if you have no experience in handling electricity, contact a specialist. The connection to the electricity has taken place, now it's time to install the wiring on the water pipes. First, figure out how you will connect your dishwasher to hot and cold water, or just cold water. Most often, masters connect the "dishwashers" only to cold water - this is the best.

• At the end of the outlet of the cold water pipe, we install a tee (or a tee with a tap).
• We get two free leads, one will go to the sink mixer, and to the other we will connect the dishwasher inlet hose.
• All threaded connections must be screwed through with a tumbler so that the connection is as reliable as possible.

We will connect the dishwasher to the sewerage system last after the sink and siphon are installed. All we have to do is connect the drain hose to the siphon outlet, and it will be possible to complete the connection of the dishwasher in a few minutes.

Features of the installation of PMM, depending on its type

The installation of this technique depends on the type of dishwasher. In turn, the type of such a device is often selected based on the characteristics and placement of kitchen furniture, as well as the size of the kitchen. So, installing a dishwasher in a finished kitchen can be difficult if the room is small and already densely packed with furniture and equipment. The built-in machine can only be installed in the niche intended for it. Installing a tabletop dishwasher is easier in this sense, but there are also not so many places suitable for this technique. The best option is to think over in advance the kitchen interior and the place of household appliances in it. However, this option is not always possible.

In the event that there is very little space for placing equipment, compact small-sized models are installed, the width of which is about 60 cm. Such an apparatus can simply be installed in a cabinet above a sink or on a table. The disadvantage of compact models is their small capacity - usually they can load up to five units of various utensils, but in a small kitchen they are indispensable.

The so-called narrow models are more spacious. They are already full-sized devices, but more compact, and at the same time, their functionality usually does not differ from the functionality of full-size devices. There are free-standing devices, there are also built-in ones. For freestanding appliances, as a rule, there are several placement options, and if necessary, they can be moved around the kitchen. Built-in models can only be installed in a specific niche in the kitchen unit.

Finally, full-size models can also be free-standing or built-in headsets. The installation of such a technique does not fundamentally differ from the installation of narrow PMMs, but devices of this type may simply not fit into a cramped kitchen.

Conclusion

In this article, we examined what options are there for connecting a dishwasher. The process may seem very complicated, but if you carefully deal with each stage, everything will take a minimum of time. It is quite possible to connect the dishwasher to cold water. Difficulties can arise only with connecting electrical wiring and installing an outlet. In this case, if you are unsure of your own abilities, we recommend that you seek help from specialists. If you do not have experience in connecting a dishwasher to the sewer and in other necessary work, you can immediately use the services of a master. This will save time and effort, but it will be wasted financially.
