Appliance installation should follow the manufacturer’s requirements and the kitchen design. Integrated appliances in particular depend on correct cabinet sizes, ventilation, service positions and door or panel alignment.
Integrated and freestanding appliances
Requirements vary between ovens, hobs, extractors, dishwashers, washing machines, refrigeration and other appliances. Electrical, water, waste or gas connections may require the appropriate specialist trade.
Check specifications before fitting
Confirm appliance dimensions and connection requirements before cabinets and worktops are finalised. This reduces the risk of discovering incompatible openings or service positions late in the project.
