Kitchens, like bathrooms, are often small in size, so it is extremely difficult to squeeze the necessary equipment into them, and the owners have to change the location of one or another equipment. Especially often it comes to the fact that the washing machine ends up in the kitchen, although it was originally intended for the bathroom, moreover, due to the substances used for washing, experts strongly do not recommend installing it in the kitchen.
For proper installation of appliances in the kitchen, you will need spare parts for washing machines. Only high-quality spare parts can ensure its safe functioning.
If the washing machine is planned to be placed in the kitchen, then the following tips will be useful:
- Whether the machine is built in or not, and to what extent it is built in, the drain hose must remain accessible. If you neglect this advice, then every time you need to clean the machine and change the filters, you will have to perform a lot of extra steps, which is accordingly inconvenient.
- If the machine is planned to be built in (in whole or in part), then for this you need to hire a specialist. Even recommendations and master classes looked on the network will not tell important nuances due to which the device can be severely damaged.
- The best option for placing a washing machine near the sink and dishwasher. Then a kind of “wet” zone is obtained in the kitchen, and connecting all communications will be much more convenient.If this is not possible, then any place in the kitchen will do, the main thing is that it be far from the hob and oven, as hot water harms the device.
- Regardless of whether a washing machine is built in or not, the top surface should be covered with something waterproof.
- Do not put anything on the washing machine, especially heavy ones. Of course, many disdain this rule and put some household trifles on it, and this will not harm it, but you can’t use it as a table or other work surface, just like you can’t install it on a washing machine.
- On the left side of the washing machine, it is recommended to leave a small gap so that the powder compartment door does not rest against anything, but in general, even a built-in washing machine should not stand close to the wall or furniture, not to mention other devices.
- In terms of appearance, it is recommended to select a washing machine depending on the interior of the kitchen, but white or silver is considered the most classic and “universal” options. Black not only looks gloomy, but also quickly gets dirty with any prints.
- It happens that during operation, due to vibrations, the washing machine starts to move a little, shifting from its place, and therefore it is recommended to fix it a little at the bottom with a kind of plinth or a piece of a kitchen set that will not allow it to move while working.
All of the above is as simple and clear as possible, and most importantly, it does not require any effort and cost, and therefore it is preferable to follow these tips than to eliminate the consequences.
If the person himself does not want to deal with all this, then you need to immediately hire professionals who will perform the installation not only quickly, but also correctly.
