ILVE Modern Built-In Dishwasher Panel with Professional Plus Handle

A built-in dishwasher panel transforms a standard appliance into a seamless part of a fitted kitchen. The panel attaches to the front of the dishwasher, concealing the machine behind a door that matches the surrounding cabinetry. A handle integrated into the panel provides the only visible hardware, allowing the dishwasher to blend with the kitchen's design while remaining fully functional.

The panel itself carries no moving parts; it is a rigid sheet of material cut to the exact dimensions of the dishwasher door. When the dishwasher is opened, the panel swings outward with the door, revealing the interior racks and controls. The handle is fixed to the panel, positioned for easy grip and consistent with the kitchen's other cupboard handles. This arrangement keeps the dishwasher's controls and display hidden when not in use, maintaining a clean, uninterrupted line across the worktop and cupboards.

To install, the panel is aligned with the dishwasher door and secured with screws or clips, depending on the dishwasher model. The handle is then attached to the panel at the specified fixing points. Once fitted, the panel moves with the door each time the dishwasher is opened or closed, so it must be firmly fixed to avoid misalignment. The dishwasher's original door remains in place behind the panel, carrying the weight of the racks and dishes, while the panel provides the external finish.

Constructed in stainless steel, the panel resists moisture and cleaning chemicals, preventing warping or discolouration over time. The Professional Plus handle is also stainless steel, matching the panel for a uniform appearance. The dimensions of 595 mm width and 720 mm height correspond to standard built-in dishwasher sizes, ensuring compatibility with most full-height models.

The panel does not alter the dishwasher's operation, capacity or cycle options; it serves only as a decorative and functional front. Cleaning is limited to wiping the stainless steel surface with a damp cloth and mild detergent, avoiding abrasive pads that could scratch the finish. The handle should be checked periodically to ensure it remains tightly fixed to the panel.

This panel is designed for modern built-in dishwashers and is part of ILVE's kitchen integration range.
