The built-in dishwasher dryer is a must-have kitchen accessory, so you need to be responsible for its choice. There are several basic criteria that you should pay attention to when buying.

Therefore, it is necessary to give preference to not cheap products, they can look beautiful, but after damage to the protective coating such structures quickly become unusable. Dryers made of metal alloys are considered an excellent choice in this case, while plastic models can be bought at the dachas, where they are used from time to time.
• Roominess. Each specific model of dryers is designed to accommodate a certain amount of dishes, and if you fill the structure to the eyeballs, kitchen utensils will not dry well. In addition, it will be difficult to remove a plate or glass from a densely filled shelf; dishes can be dropped and broken.
• Type of construction. To date, the market is represented by dishwashers in a huge assortment. Both single-level and multi-tiered products are commercially available. Before you give preference to a particular model, you need to decide on the place of its placement and choose only the most practical and convenient options.
• The size of the dishes. Often after installing mesh shelves in the cabinet, it turns out that they do not fit large plates, they have to be put in another place. In order to prevent such errors, you need to know the dimensions of the entire dishes before buying a dryer.
• Cabinet Features. Before purchasing a dryer, it is necessary to correctly measure the interior of the cabinet and, based on this, find out the dimensions of the device. Many furniture manufacturers in the manufacture of kitchen modules are immediately equipped with driers with pallets.

In order to properly install a dishwasher in a cabinet, first of all, you need to choose a suitable place for it, it is best to give preference to cabinets, placed above or next to the sink. Thus, the hostess will not have to make unnecessary movements, bend over and stretch up. Many mount dryers above the sink in a cabinet without a bottom. Due to this, there is no need to put an additional tray (water immediately drains from the dishes washed into the sink). It is undesirable to build dryers in floor cabinets, because the hostess will have to bend a lot to fill them.

When installing this device, the following recommendations should be considered.

• Provide furniture with good ventilation. In the cabinet you need to drill 2 holes in the sides, this will help the dishes dry quickly and protect the furniture from unpleasant odors.
• Observe the distance. The grid on which the plates are planned to be placed must be installed at a distance of at least 30 cm from the top of the cabinet and another shelf. A distance of 7 cm is allowed between the lower tier and the pallet.
• Seal furniture. Since the kitchen set under the constant influence of moisture can quickly become unusable, it is recommended to process its lower part with special sealants. For example, silicone protects the material well from water.
