Hi, I'm fitting a new kitchen. The corner unit and next ones either side of it are all good (don't you just love laser levels?). On one wall I've got to fit an integrated Washing machine. The Washing machine dimensions say width is 600mm. I'm still waiting on delivery of the machine and can't put the fitting on hold until it arrives. Presumably I've got to leave 600mm space for the washing machine plus a few mm either side to allow it to slide in/out? Or do I? Should I space the next unit exactly 600mm away from the last (I'd use a spare existing unit as a temporary template) or do I space the next unit in the run with a (say 2 or 3 mm) gap on either side? Thanks. -
Appliances for use with Economy 7? Timer.
Ferdinand posted a topic in Kitchen & Household Appliances
I am about to replace our washing machine - I think for mum this is only about the 4th one since 1961 so it will be with us for some time. The question is .. for potential use with overnight cheap tariffs, is there any reason to go for an integrated delay timer in the machine itself, or to go for one which plugs into the wall socket? As I can see, the reasons for wanting a delay timer in the machine are: - machine has to be removed to access plug. - insufficient space behind machine. (Obvs. A well designed kitchen will have the plug in the next cupboard, but that is still tricky to access). And the reasons to have a separate timer include the extra cost. At a previous house we had E7 but the plug socket was at the front of a cupboard so access was fine, What do Buildhubbers do? Ferdinand
