Built-in appliances

In short

1. 01The appliance does not adapt to the kitchen, the kitchen adapts to the appliance. Before the final design you need the exact model and its installation instructions.
2. 02An integrated dishwasher goes into an empty space under the worktop, usually 600 mm, and there are narrow ones of 450 mm. A front goes on its door, and the kickboard in front must let the door open.
3. 03An oven goes under the worktop or into a tall unit, in an opening usually 600 mm high. It needs an air path as the instructions say.
4. 04A microwave goes into a wall unit or a tall unit, but not above shoulder height.
5. 05An integrated fridge goes into a tall unit. Air comes in at the bottom through the kickboard and goes out at the back and top.
6. 06The hob goes into a cut-out to the manufacturer's sizes. The cooker hood is on the same centre line, and its height above the hob is set by the hood manufacturer.
