Ergonomic
Built-in appliances at access height
The tall electrical appliances at a user-friendly height ensure back-friendly working and specifically prevent back problems. In addition to refrigerators, steam cookers and dishwashers, ovens, microwaves and fully automatic coffee machines can also be integrated into any tall unit at an ergonomically ideal height thanks to the grid dimension. This creates more space on the worktop and ensures convenient workflows in the kitchen.
Everything within reach from all sides
The larder unit with its smooth-running front pull-out is storage space on a whole new level. Everything is always to hand, clearly arranged and accessible from all sides. Extra practical: the height of the spare baskets can be flexibly adjusted.
The working height that suits you
The perfect working height is not determined by your height, but by your elbow. The ergonomically optimal height can be determined quickly and precisely with the help of an ergometer. Your specialist dealer will be happy to advise you.
Sufficient headroom
Modern cooktop extractors guarantee optimum headroom thanks to their flush installation. In addition, wall cabinets with flaps or upward-opening folding/lifting doors provide additional space above the head and allow convenient, unrestricted access to everything in the cabinet.
Note the active height
The standard carcase height of 720 mm is ideal for work preparation and - depending on the plinth height - ensures that people of average height can work in a relaxed manner in their natural posture.
Waste separation by foot control
With the sensor-operated Libero opening support for the Euro-Cargo Soft, Euro-Cargo S, Separato-K, Separato-M and Zargen Cargo waste separation systems, the front pull-out can be opened very easily by simple foot operation via a sensor in the plinth area.
Planning the sink base
With a sink, the sink base is the actual active surface. It should therefore be planned above the normal working height. Ideally, the sink base should be 10 to 15 cm below elbow height. This provides targeted and lasting relief for the intervertebral discs.
What is the right working height in the kitchen?
The correct working height depends not only on your height, but above all on your elbow height. Modern measuring devices can be used to determine the ergonomically correct working height quickly and precisely. Your specialist dealer will be happy to advise you.
Why should the sink often be planned higher than the normal worktop?
With the sink, it is not the edge of the bowl that is decisive, but the sink base as the actual active surface. This is why higher planning can make sense. It is recommended that the sink base should be around 10 to 15 cm below elbow height in order to take the strain off the back in the long term.
How do I plan the ergonomic height for cooking?
When cooking, the active height is the top edge of an average height saucepan on the hob. As a guideline, the cabinet should ideally be about 25 cm below elbow height to relieve the strain on shoulders and arms.
What are the advantages of tall electrical appliances from an ergonomic point of view?
Elevated electrical appliances at a user-friendly height make loading and unloading particularly convenient and support back-friendly working. Refrigerators, steam cookers, dishwashers, ovens, microwaves and fully automatic coffee machines, for example, can be integrated at an ergonomically sensible height. This creates more space on the worktop and ensures convenient workflows in the kitchen.
