Semi-integrated built-in dishwashers

Electrolux semi-Integrated dishwashers: Modern design, Intuitive access 

Effortless dishwashing meets sleek design with Electrolux semi-integrated built-in dishwashers. With up to 13 place settings, our built-in dishwashing machines offer powerful cleaning while keeping controls easily accessible. 

What is a built-in dishwasher? 

A built-in dishwasher is installed under the kitchen bench and integrated into your cabinetry. Unlike freestanding models, it stays fixed in place, offers a cleaner look, and saves space, with controls usually visible on the front panel. 

What is a semi-integrated dishwasher? 

A semi-integrated dishwasher (or partially integrated dishwashing machine) blends into your kitchen design while keeping the control panel visible at the top of the door for easy access. This design offers a modern aesthetic while allowing you to adjust settings without opening the door. It’s the perfect balance between seamless integration and convenient functionality. 

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

Semi-integrated vs fully-integrated dishwasher 

The key difference between semi-integrated and fully-integrated dishwashers is the visibility of the control panel. 

Semi-integrated dishwashers have a visible control panel at the top of the door for easy access, while fully-integrated dishwashers are completely hidden behind cabinetry for a seamless look.  

Both offer powerful cleaning, but semi-integrated models provide quicker control adjustments without opening the door.

Semi-integrated dishwasher installation & connection process

Installing a semi-integrated dishwasher requires a water supply, drainage connection, and electrical outlet. It is built into cabinetry but leaves the control panel exposed for easy access.  

Unlike freestanding dishwashers, which can be placed anywhere with a water connection, semi-integrated models require a fixed installation for a seamless look. Proper alignment with cabinetry ensures smooth operation and aesthetic appeal. Professional installation is recommended for secure fitting and optimal performance.
