Various installation methods exist by dishwasher type and kitchen design and layout.
Consult this guide to find the most suitable installation method for your dishwasher.
One key factor that influences the installation method is the cabinet baseboard, also known as the toe kick.
The plate is made from the same material as the kitchen cabinet, providing a seamless look to the furniture. A convertible dishwasher (which offers the possibility of freestanding or built-in installation) can be installed irrespective of the height of the cabinet baseboard.
However, it may be necessary to remove the baseboard.
When adjusting the height of the dishwasher for installation (up to 60mm for built-in only models, up to 30mm for convertible models), the allowed height of the baseboard changes according to the adjusted product height.
Installation of a built-in only model
- Wide baseboard (150mm)
If the height of the baseboard exceeds 120mm, installation of the built-in dishwasher for the wide baseboard is recommended.

- Narrow baseboard (100mm)
If the height of the baseboard is less than 120mm, installation of the built-in dishwasher for the narrow baseboard is recommended.
※ If the baseboard of the sink cabinet is 120mm, the legs of the unit are adjusted 20mm higher. Thus, the minimum required height of the cabinet becomes 835mm.
