Cove Dishwashers

Cove dishwashers clean to a higher standard. They are built to ensure that every dish and utensil—including plastic containers, heavy saucepans, wire whisks, and even delicate china plates—emerge from the dishwasher spotlessly clean and dry. With a vast array of custom wash and dry options and interiors that adjust to accommodate any size or combination of dishes, Cove offers a clean you will never have to second-guess. All models can be fully integrated with custom cabinetry or stainless steel panels to complement any kitchen design.

Overall Dimensions

|

IMPORTANT NOTE: Overall dimensions do not include the door panel or handle. Dimensions will vary with panel thickness.

Opening Dimensions

DISHWASHER

NOTE: 3 ½” (89) finished returns will be visible and should be finished to match cabinetry.

OPENING WIDTH
Cove dishwashers accommodate varying opening widths.
A 23 5/8″ (60 cm) width provides minimum reveals and is ideal for new construction. A 24″ (610) width is also common; however, reveals for a 24″ (610) opening will be larger than the reveals for a 23 5/8″ (60 cm) opening unless the panel width is adjusted accordingly. Refer to page 9 for more information.

OPENING DEPTH
Allow for panel thickness when planning the finished opening depth. Panels thicker than 3/4″ (19) require additional depth if the unit is being installed flush. A minimum 3 1/2″ (89) finished return is required on all sides of the opening. Framed cabinets require additional finished filler material behind the face frame for a proper installation. Refer to the illustration.

OPENING HEIGHT
Cove dishwashers accommodate varying opening heights. A 34 1/2″ (876) height is typical, however, ADA height models accommodate height restricted openings and ADA height installations. Refer to the illustration and chart. The unit allows for 1″ (25) of total height adjustment. Refer to page 5 for more information.
For openings exceeding the maximum product height, the door panel can extend above the top of the door, however, the door panel could affect control panel interaction. A filler above the unit is also required. Refer to the illustration below.

Door Panel

CUSTOM PANEL
IMPORTANT NOTE: The dishwasher opening width determines the custom panel width. The panel width should be 1/4″ (6) less than the opening width to achieve minimum reveals.
The panel dimensions in the chart below are based on a 34 1/2″ (876) opening for a standard height model and 32 1/2″ (826) for an ADA height model, with a 4″ (102) toe kick and 1/8″ (3) top reveal. For all other opening and toe kick heights, adjust the panel accordingly. The minimum panel height for a standard model is 28″ (711) and 26″ (660) for an ADA height model. The minimum toe kick height is 4″ (102).
Finish all sides of the custom panel. They may be visible when the door is open.
Locate the handle near the top of the door. Refer to page 10 for standard handle lengths. Handle mounting hardware must be flush with the back of the door panel.

PANEL REQUIREMENTS

*Less than 16 lb (7 kg) is optimal.
