AWARD Dishwashers Clearance Requirements
AWARD dishwashers installed in Australian homes require 20mm side, 50mm rear, and 50mm top ventilation clearance per manufacturer guidelines. Notable: wider side spacing than the 2mm category average (20mm required); generous top clearance of 50mm (default is 25mm) — cabinetry above must be 50mm or higher from the appliance top. Insufficient clearance can void warranty and cause premature compressor failure.

Installation Tips
- Push dishwasher at least 50mm from the wall before securing — use a tape measure, not eyeballing.
- If installing under overhead cabinetry, confirm 50mm gap above the lid or top panel.
- Measure your cavity before purchase — dishwasher dimensions vary by ±20mm between models within this brand.
