Consequently, the air is smoothly exhausted out of the dish washing machine without the introduction of the air to the sides and the rear of the dish washing machine, whereby the formation of moisture on the installation surface of the dish washing machine is minimized.
  • the high-temperature air is smoothly exhausted out of the dish washing machine, and therefore, the deformation of the installation surface of the dish washing machine due to heat is minimized.
  • the air exhausted from the exhaust duct flows toward the vertical center line of the door of the dish washing machine. Consequently, the flow of the air exhausted from the exhaust duct to the sides of the dish washing machine is prevented, whereby it is possible to solve the problems which may occur due to the contact of the high-temperature, high-humidity exhausted air with the walls of kitchen furniture installed at the sides of the dish washing machine.
