Dishwasher Placement
Locate nearest edge of the primary dishwasher within 36” of the nearest edge of a cleanup/prep sink
Provide at least 21”* of standing space between the edge of the dishwasher and countertop frontage, appliances and/or cabinets, which are placed at a right angle to the dishwasher
*In a diagonal installation, the 21” is measured from the center of the sink to the edge of the dishwasher door in an open position
Access Standard
Raise dishwasher 6” – 12” when it can be planned with appropriate landing areas at the same height as the sink.
A clear floor space of at least 30” x 48” should be positioned adjacent to the dishwasher door. The dishwasher door in the open position should not obstruct the clear floor space for the dishwasher or the sink
