Q: Questioncan this dishwasher be installed in an outdoor kitchen

Asked 9 months ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer Hi, thanks for your question. Bosch does not recommend installing their dishwashers outdoors. Bosch dishwashers are designed and intended for indoor use in a controlled environment. Outdoor installations can expose the dishwasher to extreme temperatures, humidity, and other environmental factors that may negatively impact the performance and longevity of the appliance. Additionally, the warranty and support provided for our dishwashers may not cover any issues that arise from outdoor installation.

Asked 1 year ago by momllc.

• A:Answer Hello momllc, when confirming the needed dimensions for the custom panel we would recommend reviewing the appliance's spec sheet and install guide for all needed measurements and dimensions. These documents can be found on the appliance's product page under the Manuals tab. The recommended panel dimensions are as follows: H 27 1/8" - 30 1/16", W 23 1/8" - 23 3/8", D 5/8" - 7/8". If you have any additional questions, please contact a professional installer.
