Is it possible to use a built-in dishwasher without having to build it in?

Is it possible to use a built-in dishwasher without building it in?There are cases when a built-in dishwasher has already been purchased, but there is no kitchen set for it yet. Then the question naturally arises: is it possible to install such a dishwasher separately? After all, there are probably ways to use the device, despite the fact that there is nowhere to embed it yet. We will try to answer this question objectively.

Problems with using a non-built-in dishwasher

First of all, you should pay attention to the problems associated with the operation of a free-standing built-in dishwasher. The thing is that there will be no difficulties with connecting and starting, since such a unit is designed exactly the same as a device that is produced separately. But experts do not recommend using a dishwasher regularly in this way. And that's why.

  1. Firstly, it's simply not aesthetically pleasing. It would seem like a small thing. But all the unsightly insides that should be hidden behind the facade (for example, soundproofing material) will be on the outside, which will immediately give your kitchen an unflattering appearance.
  2. It will be almost impossible to open the door of such a dishwasher without a front, especially if it is equipped with a tight spring. After all, a built-in dishwasher is designed to have a front and a door with a handle, and without them you will have to spend a lot of time getting used to it.
  3. Extra noise. Any dishwasher makes quite loud noises, but built-in dishwashers are much less equipped with sound insulation in the expectation that some of the sound will be absorbed by the set.Therefore, if you operate the machine separately, be prepared for noise during operation.
  4. The centrifugal force of a dishwasher is not as powerful as that of a washing machine, but it will still shake your unit quite well. This is not such a serious problem, but you need to be prepared for it.

It is best, of course, to be patient and wait for the kitchen furniture that will have a built-in dishwasher. Then there will be no worries or hassle, everything will work as usual. But if you really want to test the unit, take into account the above difficulties in order to properly use the device without embedding it.

Temporary connection for dishwasher

Now let's figure out how to install a built-in dishwasher separately from the furniture set.built-in PM

  1. First you need to connect the drain hose to the sewer. To do this, you can connect it to a part of the sink drain, which in turn connects to the sewer pipe. In this case, it is important to create a bend near the “joining” point so that waste waste does not linger in the hose. As a last resort, you can simply leave the drain hose in the sink.
  2. Make sure that the length of the drain hose is no more than 1.5. In extreme cases, you can leave 2m.
  3. Now you need to deal with the inlet hose. In order to install it, you must first install a special hose tee. Remove the faucet hose from the water supply and replace it with a brass or bronze adapter. Now install the mixer on one branch, the filter on the second, and the dishwasher hose on the third.

Attention! The last step is connecting to the network.At first, you can use an adapter, but when the unit is already built-in, it must be connected to a moisture-resistant outlet connected to a line protected by a circuit breaker.

Now you know how to operate your dishwasher without having to build it in until the kitchen furniture arrives. Try out new equipment and get out of the habit of washing dishes by hand.
