Know before you buy
Yes, this model is designed for a standard 18-inch slimline opening. Its actual width is 17-5/8 inches, making it a perfect fit for compact kitchen layouts.
Yes, CrystalDry uses zeolite minerals to transform moisture into heat. This process is highly effective at drying plastics and other hard-to-dry items that often remain damp in standard dishwashers.
Yes, this is a panel-ready model. You will need to provide and install a custom cabinet panel that matches your kitchen cabinetry to complete the built-in look.
At 44 dBA, this dishwasher is exceptionally quiet. You will likely only hear a faint hum, making it ideal for open-concept living spaces where you want to avoid noise disruption.
RackMatic allows you to adjust the height of the upper rack to three different levels, even when it is fully loaded. This provides extra vertical space in either the top or bottom rack to accommodate taller items like wine glasses or large stockpots.
No, you can use the Home Connect app to start, stop, or monitor your dishwasher remotely from your smartphone. It also provides notifications when a cycle is complete or if maintenance is required.
