Drainer

The dishwasher is one of the elements of the kitchen space, without which it is difficult to do without. They can be diverse in design, material of manufacture, their location in the kitchen. However, in general, you can divide them into two large groups:

• built-in dish dryers;
• separate dryers that stand on the countertop, hang on the wall, etc.

What are the kitchen dish dryers?

In addition to this basic feature, the dryer can be divided into many other parameters. And first of all - in the place of installation. For example, a wall-mounted dish drier is quite convenient, which is mounted directly on the wall. The advantage of it is that it can be placed anywhere, on any free wall in your kitchen. It is quite simple in care and maintenance, and it is quite inexpensive.

Another budget model is a desktop plastic dish dryer. It can be placed on the table next to the sink and it will be quite convenient to use it. The downside is that it takes up a lot of precious space on the countertop , and if the plastic is of poor quality, it can negatively affect the health of the family.

It is preferable to choose dryers from metal coated with an anti-corrosion layer or stainless steel. Such dryers are more durable and safe, not demanding for storage conditions, because they are not afraid of rust or chips.

An important condition for the convenience of the hostess is the presence in the dryer of a place not only for plates, but also for cups and forks-spoons, that is, two-tiered. While single-tiered serve only for storing and drying cymbals.

Built-in dryers

Built-in dryers are fixed in drying cabinets with special fasteners. And they can be built in both the lower and upper cabinets. If you have a dishwasher, it will be very convenient to place the dryer from the bottom. Then you do not have to rearrange the dishes after washing.

The advantage of such dryers is that they allow you to hide dishes and give the kitchen a more aesthetic appearance. In addition, dust is not accumulated on washed dishes and cups.

If the dryer is mounted on hanging cabinets, they are usually of standard size and consist of two modules - one for the plates, the second for the cups. In addition, they are equipped with a tray, which drains the water after washing dishes.

The minimum depth of the cabinet in which the dryer can be installed is 28 cm. The width of the dryer should be selected depending on the width of the box (cabinet). The main parameters of built-in dryers are 50, 60, 70 and 80 cm. There are models that replace the lower horizon of the box with their pallet.

Such dryers are built in a special plastic fastener, pre-installed in the walls of the cabinet. Fastening is established through through apertures or by means of self-tapping screws. The second option is more expensive, but it does not spoil the appearance of the lockers from the outside.

An important condition for built-in dryers is good The ventilation of the cabinet in which the wet ware is stored. To cover it is not damaged and the box itself is not deformed from moisture, it is necessary that it had at least a few holes, and preferably - on opposite sides of the cabinet. It is preferable to make them on the side walls, since they can become a source of dust penetration from above.

By the way, it is possible to install the dish dryer directly in the sink . It will become an additional section of the sink, but you can not use it permanently, but only let the dishes drain off immediately after washing. And since washing in the kitchen is almost always necessary, then the dishes along with the dryer will then need to be rearranged somewhere.
