      Installation Guide - Dishwasher Front

      Quick guide by model

      Whether your dishwasher is equipped with a door or two drawer fronts, our fronts are by default machined to use IKEA's VÅGLIG sliding hardware.

      Our recommendation is therefore to choose an IKEA model, which offers a wide range of prices and ranges and are 100% integrable with the CUBRO model.

      Please take a look below to find instructions for installing the sliding CUBRO door in each case:

      If you have a ↔60 cm IKEA dishwasher:

      It will be one of these, and a VÅGLIG unit will be indispensable:

      Refer to the IKEA instructions and use the perforations provided on the front.

       

      If you have a ↔45 cm IKEA dishwasher:

      In this case, it is not necessary to buy VAGLIG. The assembler will have to do the perforations of the CUBRO front following the IKEA machining template.

       

       

      Since our front comes machined for the VÅGLIG, you can use one of the holes for the metal part that comes with the dishwasher. The lower one will need to be sacrificed, and you’ll have to drill two new ones, so you will only use 3 out of the 4 holes.

      If you want your dishwasher front to have drawer fronts instead of one door, we highly recommend choosing an IKEA 60 cm model, as we cannot guarantee that the VÅGLIG hardware will work with another model, and therefore the two fronts cannot be joined together easily

      Non-IKEA Dishwashers

      Dishwashers are probably the most complex panel-ready appliances to integrate into the CUBRO system. This is because many manufacturers still produce dishwashers designed for kitchens with cabinet heights of ↕72–76 cm, whereas IKEA uses ↕80 cm.

      To be compatible with a CUBRO front, these requirements must be met:

      • Sliding door: Sliding doors allow for an 80 cm front panel, aligned with adjacent cabinets, while still enabling full dishwasher opening.

      • Sufficient space inside for the plinth, ideally 12 cm. If there’s less space, you will need to move the feet of all the base units in that section forward to maintain a continuous plinth. See our skirting board installation guide.

      AEG / Electrolux

      These models must follow this diagram, and in both cases, choose Option B from the manufacturer.

      Mounting guide:

      1. You do not need to buy the VÅGLIG fitting. The installer must drill the CUBRO front panel according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

      2. Raise the dishwasher to 860 mm to accommodate an 800 mm front panel.

      3. Position the CUBRO door ↑2–3 cm above the appliance.

      4. When opened, there will be a gap of approximately ↕3,5 cm, which can be covered with an internal filler strip. For this filler you can take excess baseboards or panels that you cut out during assembly.

       

      Balay, Bosch or Siemens

      The model must follow one of these two schemes:

      Mounting guide:

      • You do not need to buy the VÅGLIG fitting. The installer must drill the CUBRO front panel according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

      • Raise the dishwasher by 3 cm using the telescopic legs to allow installation of an 80 mm plinth (these models support a 50–220 mm range). After raising it, the top of the dishwasher will be at 845 mm, which equals the manufacturer’s minimum height (815 mm) + 30 mm adjustment.

      • The CUBRO door must protrude by 35 mm (880 mm - 845 mm) above the dishwasher. When opened, a 35 mm gap will be visible between the top of the appliance and the countertop. This can be closed with an internal filler strip. For this filler you can take excess baseboards or panels that you cut out during assembly.

      • Plinth layout modification: the plinth needs to be moved forward, as IKEA places its feet at 12 cm, while this model has only 10 cm. See our skirting board installation guide.

       

      If your dishwasher is not compatible with IKEA system:

      To make it compatible, it must be mounted with the IKEA dishwasher adapter: BEHJÄLPLIG. From CUBRO we are not fans of the adapter, as it complicates the assembly of the door and requires disassembly when removing the dishwasher in cases of maintenance.  In addition, it is advisable to check the stock, because it is not always available in all markets.


      Therefore, we recommend only models compatible with the IKEA system.
