Hello, I am currently installing my kitchen.
I got an XXL dishwasher from Neff. I have already found a lot of information here, but I have a problem!!

The XXL dishwasher is located at the end of a "U" shape and cannot be installed anywhere else.

Should I build a frame myself for it to stand in, including a side panel?
I chose the RED high-gloss front.

The countertop will be a satin-finished "Coffee Brown" stone slab.

Regards, Manfred

Hello,
you will need to make the support panel at the end yourself, for example from a side panel, as shown in the planner's pictures. This must be taken into account when determining the length of the countertop.

The stonemason will come to take measurements on Monday anyway.

My current idea is to screw together 2 or 3 support panels and use them as a thick end piece next to the dishwasher as a vertical support post. Possibly add cross braces at the back to maintain spacing...

Since the stone weighs 120 kg per square meter (25 lb per square foot), this seems like the most stable solution, and a single support panel already looks a bit too thin and low quality.

Now I just have to figure out how to attach the front panel to the NEFF dishwasher... I could only find the Ikea Behjälplig for this. I plan to check it out TODAY and, if needed, order the original part from NEFF.

I will have the panels cut at the hardware store because I only have a €19 (about $20) circular saw at the moment. The hardware store charges me "1€" per cut on a third-party panel. I think this could at least be a workable solution.

Did you buy a dishwasher with a Vario hinge? If so, you don’t need anything extra.
If not, Neff does not offer suitable accessories for the front panel.
Helpful? Is that available again?

Ask a stonemason for advice on the best way to design or secure the support side panel.

It is exactly this model: Neff S52N69X9EU fully integrated dishwasher.

Unfortunately, I can't find any accessories for it.
