Hello everyone, I bought a new Metod kitchen. Unfortunately, Ikea does not offer a fully integrated dishwasher with a Time-Shift function. Because of this, I bought a new NEFF machine with the appropriate installation height. Unfortunately, at that time I was not aware that I also had to pay attention to the front height. And of course, I foolishly did not choose a Vario hinge. From what I gather in the forum, the only solution now is the sliding hinge Behjälplig. Unfortunately, it is sold out everywhere. Has anyone already found an alternative solution, or do we now have to live with a 60% opening? I would really appreciate your tips. I hope I have not overlooked a topic... Please excuse me if this question about alternatives already exists!

Hello, if you mean an 865 mm high XXL device with the appropriate installation height, then search here in the forum for the Stefan method.

Hello,
Front height doesn't say anything... the countertop height would be important there...
With other kitchen manufacturers with tall fronts, it also works, assuming the correct base cabinet/countertop height. But there is usually a spacer strip involved, which is screwed between the adjacent base cabinets, and the height is automatically determined.
I would recommend you remove the front... open the dishwasher... roughly hold the kitchen front in place in the open position... and test when it opens completely...
Measure the overhang of the kitchen front/dishwasher... because it is the same as the countertop even when the dishwasher is closed.
If you're lucky, you can turn the dishwasher down... otherwise the kitchen must be adjusted upwards... installation error...
In the worst case, a pneumatic hammer... and sink the dishwasher into the floor... until you reach 90°...
