SHP means a pocket handle, where the grip is recessed into the door and the whole front reads as one flat panel. The SHP53EM5N applies that to a 46 dBA, 15 place setting 300 Series machine in anti-fingerprint stainless. Pocket-handle models are the ones most often installed flush in a run of slab cabinetry, and that is where a specific problem shows up: if the machine is set even slightly proud, the door sweeps the adjacent cabinet face every time it opens, and the mark it leaves gets blamed on the appliance.
