A: I read online that to have a true "flush mounted panel ready dishwasher" only European brands are the correct depth. A common depth is 22 7/8". If the appliance is 24" deep (the same depth as most counter tops) and then you add a wood panel, the appliance will not sit flush with cabinets. I would love to know what KitchenAid has to say about this question. I have called their customer support and they were not able to give me any helpful information. Why would they make the dishwasher 24" deep and then think it will lie properly on the cabinets? This is truly a different look than the traditional dishwasher, which sticks out several inches from the cabinets. The reason we are paying a premium for this is to have it BLEND IN with the cabinets.
Q: can i use any handle that I want or does it have to be kitchenaid?
A: You can use any handle that you want.
Q: What washing settings does this have? Example: Heavy, Normal, quick?
A: Pro-wash, tough, normal, light, express wash & rinse only
Q: Can you use your own handle that matches your cabinetry?
A: This model does not come with panel/Handle. You need to attached your own panel with handle which matches your cabinetry.
Q: Does this one work with the custom panel from big chill?
A: Yes, it does! I got a Big Chill panel and it looks great!
A: I believe the footplate and height can be adjusted slightly. I did not watch the full install, but I know he did not need the piece of wood that was needed to secure the old dishwasher because this one was taller and fit the opening better. That 1/4 inch might be too much of a difference to squeeze it in. It's a solid product that seems like it will last a lot longer than my last one, but I would have BestBuy check with the installers to see if your measurements will work. My opening is slightly bigger and my quick tape measurement tells me your spot might be too short. Hope this helps!
Q: does the unit heat the water it uses
A: Yes, the unit will heat the water it uses.
Q: Does this have a heated drying cycle?
A: yes plus can run w/o the heat.
