A good fit starts with a quick check
SilSpa opens and closes like a book. It accommodates extra-large silicone mats much like a large sheet of paper fits in a smaller book: the mat can extend beyond the cage. Check room for the complete loaded caddy and mat in your dishwasher.
These are the frame’s outside measurements. They are not a mat-size limit. Extra-large mats can extend beyond the frame; dishwasher clearance depends on the complete loaded setup.
Know what you are measuring
Use these dimensions to understand the cage itself. When checking dishwasher, drying, and storage space, also allow for any part of the mat extending beyond it. Allow room to open the cage on your work surface.
The cage does not work like a box that must contain the entire mat. Its two sides close around and support the mat, including extra-large mats, like a smaller book holding a larger sheet of paper.
A mat is not too large simply because its length or width exceeds the frame. Check the mat’s care instructions, keep the latch and hinge free to work, and allow for extending edges when positioning it in your dishwasher.
Before you order
Extra-large mats can extend beyond the frame, like a large piece of paper held in a smaller book. Position the mat between the open halves and close the cage to support it.
Follow the mat’s care instructions. Keep the hinge and sliding latch free to operate, without forcing them.
Look for space to hold the loaded caddy and mat upright and securely. The closed cage is 17 × 12 × 0.5 inches, and larger mat edges may extend beyond it. Check the rack above, rack tines, door, and spray-arm path.
Measure the usable space in your rack, not just the overall width of the appliance.
Allow a 17 × 24-inch footprint to open the frame on a work surface. Check that your drying or storage spot has room for the loaded caddy and mat, including extending edges, without tipping.
Leave room to handle the latch and lift the frame in and out.
Good questions to ask
We cannot promise universal fit. Rack layouts, spray-arm positions, and usable height vary. Check your dishwasher with the loaded caddy and mat standing in the position you intend to use, including any extending mat edges.
Use a position allowed by your mat’s and dishwasher’s care instructions, with enough room for the frame and freely turning spray arms. There is no single rack position that works for every dishwasher.
Yes. The book-style cage is designed to accommodate extra-large mats, like a large sheet of paper held in a smaller book. The mat does not have to stay within the cage’s outline. Follow your mat’s care instructions and check room for the complete loaded caddy and mat in your dishwasher.
