Fully-integrated built-in dishwashers

Electrolux fully-integrated dishwasher: Invisible design, visible results

Effortless dishwashing meets seamless design with Electrolux fully-integrated built-in dishwashers. Ideal for modern kitchens, they offer up to 14 place settings while staying hidden behind your cabinetry for a sleek, uninterrupted look. 

What is a built-in dishwasher? 

A built-in dishwasher is installed directly within your kitchen cabinetry, offering a more streamlined and permanent solution compared to freestanding models. While freestanding dishwashers can be placed anywhere with access to plumbing, built-in models are fixed under the bench and often positioned near the sink. 

What is a fully-integrated dishwasher? 

A fully-integrated dishwasher is a type of built-in dishwasher designed to be completely concealed behind a custom cabinet door. This allows it to blend seamlessly into your kitchen's design, with the control panel hidden inside the door for a clean, minimalist appearance. 

Other dishwasher types include semi-integrated models (with visible controls) and compact or freestanding units ideal for smaller spaces. 

Fully-integrated vs semi-integrated dishwasher

The main difference between fully-integrated and semi-integrated dishwashers is how they blend into your kitchen.  

Fully-integrated dishwashers are completely hidden behind a cabinet door, with controls concealed inside. Semi-integrated dishwashers have a visible control panel on the front, allowing easy access to settings while still matching your cabinetry.  

Both options offer powerful cleaning, but fully-integrated models provide the most streamlined aesthetic. Need more details? Visit our Electrolux Dishwasher FAQs for answers to common questions.

Fully-integrated dishwasher installation & connection process

Installing a fully-integrated dishwasher machine requires a dedicated water supply, drainage connection, and electrical outlet. Unlike freestanding models, which can be placed anywhere with access to these utilities, fully-integrated dishwashers must be built into cabinetry, ensuring a seamless fit.  

Proper ventilation and door panel alignment are essential for smooth operation and professional installation is recommended to secure the unit and connect plumbing and electrical components safely.
