In this article we will talk about free-standing dishwashers. Consider their advantages and disadvantages, as well as the correctness of the installation.
Dimensions of free-standing PMMs
In addition to the functional, the dimensions of the dishwasher - this is the first thing that excites the buyer. Important is the height and depth of the shell, the possibility of embedding or a separate installation.
Built-in PMMs are usually ordered together with a kitchen set, where space is provided for the equipment in advance. The stationary independent machine has standard dimensions: 60х68х89 cm. Full-size floor variants accommodate up to 17 sets of dishes. The external control panel of the models makes it possible to conveniently monitor the time until the end of the cycle.
Small and compact dishwashers are installed on the table and can be moved when necessary. Usually there is no draining system. Draining is replaced by filters that purify water for reuse. The width of this technique does not exceed 45 cm.
Manufacturers do not yet produce stationary dish washing machines measuring 40 cm or less. But you can find new developments - portable models that users take with them to nature.
As for individual narrow dishwashers, their dimensions are 45x60x80-85 cm. The technique can comfortably fit between the thumbs and does not take up much space.
How to Install a Dishwasher

It is important to follow the safety rules. Since an incorrect connection will result in problems during the operation of the equipment.
- Grounding. It is recommended to connect the PMM only to grounded outlets. And also install fuses for each device that consumes a lot of energy.
- When connecting the equipment to the water, a shut-off hose is used, which, in case of leakage, will quickly shut off the water. Experts advise to immediately install a filter for water treatment - so PMM will last a lot longer.
- When installing the drain system, do not forget that the height of the drain hose should not be more than 40 cm from the floor. Otherwise, the water will constantly merge.
After connecting, do not forget to perform a test run of the technique to make sure that all the work is done successfully.
