Even though the controls are on the top of the door, these units install like a standard ASKO dishwasher. They fit in American (4" toe kick) cabinets with a 24" wide opening. They will not accept a custom panel.

These units were built for European cabinets (6" toe kick). However, the toe kick will accommodate American cabinets (4" toe kick). In American-height cabinets, a 2" filler strip above the unit will be necessary. This is an excellent place for a pull-out cutting board. The unit’s width is 23-5/8", 3/8" narrower than standard domestic dishwashers, so it easily installs in European and American cabinets.

They come only in stainless steel. The control panel (hidden under the counter top) and toe kick are metallic colored. A black toe kick can be purchased separately, if desired. (See dealer.) If the homeowner prefers, the toe kick can be covered with the same baseboard used in the kitchen. It is not recommended that the baseboard running in front of the unit and the cabinets be one continuous piece. Should the unit ever have to be removed, it is much easier if the baseboard in front of the dishwasher can be removed separately.

These units have a special locking system so they can be installed with a custom panel. This panel can match the cabinets, with a drawer front, a cabinet door and matching hardware. It is recommended that a handle be used for opening the dishwasher. A knob may not provide enough grip.

They come with everything needed to make the installation easy. The dishwasher’s door is pre-drilled for the panel’s mounting screws. The Turbo Fan Drying System’s vent is adjustable and must extend below the custom panel. The lower access panel has been eliminated to give the unit its single door appearance.

See the Dishwasher Installation Instructions for detailed information.
