Dear Ikea kitchen specialists,
I had an IKEA METOD kitchen with white handleless Voxtorp fronts planned and installed.
Unfortunately, the installation of the dishwasher (Siemens SN76P030EU - 81.5 cm height with Vario hinge) could not be carried out because the 60 x 80 front, despite the Vario hinge, would prevent the dishwasher door from opening (the lower part of the front hits the dishwasher).
Dimensions:
Niche height 88.5 cm (floor - underside of countertop)
Plinth height: 8 cm
Here is what I thought:
1. According to Siemens measurements, the fronts for the SN7.. dishwashers should have a height of 655-750 mm.
This would mean that there are 5 cm too much here.
Could I simply cut off these 5 cm (or even 10 cm) from the front and fix it securely at the lower part?
I would have to sand down the longer part of the front (75 cm) a few millimeters to allow enough space for opening and have only a minimal gap.
2. Install Siemens folding hinge (special accessory for dishwashers folding hinge for tall carcass dimensions SZ73010)
3. Replace the 60 x 80 front with 4 Voxtorp drawer fronts 60 x 20 - 902.731.90 combined with ERSÄTTARE 002.506.64.
Could you maybe give me some tips? I would be very grateful for any answers since the kitchen itself is basically finished... Thank you very much
