- Access
Be sure to consider the location of the dishwasher’s essential connections, such as the drain line, water supply and power cord, before installing the appliance. You should identify where these components are located, such as on the right or left side of the sink, or in a different area of the kitchen.
- Location of the sink
Installation requirements for plumbing and drainage may impact how far you can place your dishwasher away from a sink. Consider the distance from your sink that you can comfortably load your dishes when deciding where to place the dishwasher.
Dishes can quickly accumulate as you try out new recipes and techniques. Keep your dishwasher close to the sink to rinse dishes faster during the cooking process.
- Storage
By placing your dishwasher near storage areas for cutlery and cookware, you can reduce the time it takes to unload your dishes. This will allow you to spend more time on your next recipe. You should aim to place your dishwasher so that you can easily move everyday items such as plates and utensils to their correct location in cabinets and drawers.
- Visibility
Appliance placement can be a great way to bring your personal style and functionality to your kitchen. Place your dishwasher in a dedicated enclosure to create a seamless, clean look for your kitchen. This will allow you to focus on entertaining and cooking.
Built in dishwashers can help you create a better flow within your kitchen, without taking up valuable cabinet space. For a Semi Integrated Dishwasher, visit www.wellingtonshomeelectrical.co.uk/dishwashers/fullsize-dishwashers/semi-integrated
- Mobility
When you are considering placement options for your new dishwasher, make sure you have enough space to use it properly. Consult your owner’s guide to ensure that the area you choose is suitable for installation and usage. Placement should allow for enough space around the door to optimise traffic flow in your kitchen even when the racks and dishwasher are open.
