I have just had a new kitchen fitted and wanted a free standing slimline dishwasher but the kitchen fitter has only left 840mm from the floor to worktop. John Lewis suggested I take off the top from the dishwasher so it will fit under - is this ok? If so, any ideas on the best dishwasher to do this? Alternatively does anyone know of a slimline dishwasher that isn't 850mm high?
Is that a no I can't take the top off a dishwasher, or no there isn't a slimline dishwasher on the market that is less than 850mm high? Tried the Biasco website but the dishwashers on there are standard height
Have you tiled down to the work top? if not then it is not difficult to raise the height by adjusting the legs. Call the kitchen fitter back if he has installed it too low for appliances to fit under.
A Bosch slimline dishwasher will be ok with lid removed and comes off very easily. Should reduce the height by about 50mm. Just be careful nothing falls inside..Got kids?!??! Perhaps put a thin piece of wood over the top or raise applaince via adjustablefeet until it fits snug under the worktop.
