Quick question about intergrated washing machine fitting...

[cheekythomas]

Evening all

Im currently having a new kitchen installed, and have a space for a integrated washer dryer... The units are a standard 870mm in height, and the space is 600mm wide.. however its the depth that concerns me?

The units are 570mm deep which seems to be a rough normal size... the integrated dishwasher and fridge all seem to be fine, but the washing machine confuses me...

In the catalogue it states its W600 H820-870 D555

But the actual booklet with the machine says the machine is actually W596 H818 D541 so that looks promising as it should fit in the gap...

But then on the installation diagram it shows a empty unit with recommended fitment measurements as W600 H820min D600

So im now thinking it wont fit as my unit is only 570mm deep not 600mm like the fitment instructions... do i need to space my units further from the wall??

I assumed most common integrated appliances would be interchangable?

Have you measured the machine? (You'll probably get a 4th figure!)

570mm is normal for cabinet depth: A standard work surface above is 600mm which gives a 30mm overhang to a) look neat & b) accommodate the depth of any drawer fronts beneath it. I wouldn't mess around with these dimensions unless you're into custom work surface fitting.

If the machine really is 600mm deep it will be flush with the edge of the work surface. Only you can decide if you can live with this. If there are any pipes, etc on the wall at the back of the the machine this could push it further out.

If the machine really is designed to be 'integrated' I'd be amazed if it didn't fit into the 'standard' dimensions.

The 600mm depth refers to the dimension required for fitting not the depth of the appliance since it need the extra 30mm for pipe and power cable/flex.
