Built-in household appliances are becoming more and more popular every year. Modern built-in models of dishwashers are in great demand, since they take up a minimum of free space, but they have many useful functions. In this article, we will learn all about this kind of kitchen technique.

What it is?

First of all, it is worth understanding what modern built-in dishwashers are. Such household appliances are designed to be installed in one of the niches of the kitchen unit. These types of dishwashers differ from ordinary equipment in their compactness, reduced noise level during operation. The devices in question are very well hidden from children, which eliminates the temptation of little fidgets to click on something. Built-in appliances do not violate the general concept of interior design, do not take away extra free space, but at the same time they remain multifunctional, perfectly washing sets of dishes.

The main advantage of built-in household appliances is their modest size.... Such devices are very often installed in small kitchens, where every centimeter plays an important role. Such models of dishwashers look harmoniously in almost any interior compositions.

Built-in dishwashers are produced by many well-known brands today, so buyers have a wide selection of such devices.

Quality models of built-in dishwashers are divided into several varieties. Each of them has its own technical characteristics and operational parameters. Different variations of such modern technology are suitable for different interiors and kitchen sets. Let's consider what the main criteria are for built-in dishwashing machines.

By type of embedding

Modern models of built-in dishwashers are primarily divided by the type of installation. There are such variations:

  • fully recessed;
  • partially recessed.

The current fully integrated dishwashers are very popular. They are produced by many well-known brands. Fully built-in appliances are intended for installation in a special niche of a kitchen set. Particularly in demand are compact narrow specimens, for which the "first tier" is assigned. Sometimes these versions are placed higher. The main thing is to use the device as convenient and comfortable as possible.

The considered category of built-in appliances fits perfectly into most interiors. From above it can be covered by a table top, and in the front - by a facade.

The front cover of such devices is made from the same material as the furniture. When the door is closed, it is very difficult to understand that there is a dishwashing machine behind it.

Let's note the main advantages of fully built-in dishwashers.

  • Such devices are ideal suitable for very small spaceswhere there is no free space for free-standing household appliances.
  • Fully integrated dishwashers can be selected for absolutely any interior, since they do not affect the harmony of the design composition in any way.
  • Such devices work as quietly as possible, since unnecessary sounds during their operation are simply extinguished by furniture structures and walls.
  • If installed correctly, use such dishwashers. very comfortably.
  • These are practical and durable devices, which are difficult for small children to reach.
  • Modern fully recessed dishwashers are distinguished by a high level of reliability and rich functionality.

Such household appliances have no serious drawbacks, but the user must remember that they must be installed in a special niche of the headset. It is not possible to put such a device separately - it does not have decorative panels, which is why it has an unfinished appearance. In addition, models of this type are more expensive than stand-alone models with the same specifications.

Partially built-in dishwashing equipment belongs to a separate category. It differs from fully recessed models in that its control panel is carried out to the outside, and not hidden behind the facade. The front part is hung in front - it can be a door from a kitchen set or a special decorative panel that matches the color scheme and style of the kitchen.

By the method of installation, fully-built and partially built-in dishwashers are practically indistinguishable from each other. The choice of a specific category of technology largely depends on the aesthetic preferences of users.

Partially built-in units are most often chosen by consumers who do not want their modern and fashionable technology to be completely hidden behind the facade.

To size

Modern built-in dishwashers are produced in various sizes. The width of such household devices is usually 45 or 60 cm.For very small rooms, narrower options with a parameter of 45 cm are most often bought.

So, popular fully built-in dishwashers usually have the following width, depth and height parameters:

  • 60x6 x82 cm (the volume of the chamber in such specimens allows you to place from 12 to 17 sets of dishes, which is a very good indicator);
  • 45x60x82 cm (in models with such dimensions for 1 cycle it is usually possible to wash no more than 11 sets of dishes);
  • 55 (56) x45 (50) x59 cm (these are compact options that hold no more than 6 sets of dishes).

On sale you can find cars with other dimensional parameters. The height of individual devices can be 80 cm or 70 cm. Customers can purchase not only standard but also low devices. Shallow and very small devices are also available, the width of which is only 42 cm.

A suitable high or low model can be chosen for any setting and kitchen set.

  • wrench;
  • pliers;
  • drill and several attachments;
  • nippers;
  • level;

You will also need a number of components:

  • siphon;
  • euro socket;
  • ball valve;
  • brass tee;
  • difavtomat;

At the first stage, you will need the correct electricity supply. If there is no special socket in the room, then it is better to call a specialist.

The next stage is connecting the equipment to the water supply system. It is recommended to connect the device to a cold water source as its quality is higher.... It is advisable to additionally install a coarse filter. This part will protect the equipment from coarse debris, make the water softer, due to which scale will not accumulate on the heating element.

Then you need to move on to work with the sewage system. The siphon is installed with two holes for drainage, a drain hose is drawn 60 cm from the floor, and it is fastened with clamps to furniture structures. Before attaching the end of the hose to the siphon, bend it so that so that the liquid from the technology goes into the siphon.

It so happens that the length of the hose is not enough. In this case, you should not rush and build it up. It is better to purchase a new part with the required length parameter. Thus, users will be able to avoid possible serious leaks while the device is in operation.

After all the operations, it remains only to correctly install the dishwasher in place. This is done in a few steps.

Can I use it without embedding?

Many users are interested in whether it is possible to use built-in dishwashing machines without built-in. Operation in such conditions is permissible, but only under the condition of correct and high-quality connection of equipment to all necessary systems. Often people decide to put such equipment separately. As a rule, this is due to waiting for the manufacture of a new kitchen set or sending equipment for washing dishes, for example, to the country.

It should be borne in mind that a built-in dishwasher used as a free-standing one will create a lot of inconvenience. It will create a lot of unnecessary vibration and noise.

Users may experience inconvenience when opening the door - they will have to adapt to do it without a handle. In addition, the aesthetics of the interior and the technology itself will suffer especially strongly.

Examples in the interior

A properly selected and installed built-in dishwasher can easily become a harmonious part of the kitchen interior. Fortunately, current buyers can find many options for such equipment on sale. Let's look at some attractive examples of dishwasher installation in the kitchen interior.

  • For a minimalistic interior, in which there is a light finish on the walls and floor, contrasting furniture in graphite and black colors looks especially impressive. If you integrate a large dishwasher into a kitchen set in a similar scale, then the overall composition will turn out to be extremely neat, stylish and modern.
  • The built-in dishwasher will be the perfect solution for a discreet interior, in which there is a headset made of light wood.

In such an environment, chrome-plated and shiny parts of household appliances can look disharmonious, so they are best built into a headset made of natural materials.

  • A large dishwasher will look great if you build it into an "island" in a spacious kitchen, designed mainly in white and gray-brown tones... In such an interior, there should be a lot of natural light, rare details of green shades.
