I can put a wall oven under my cooktop without any trouble?

10 years ago

instead of taking up space on the opposite wall I would rather have my wall oven under my cooktop like a free standing range

I have had a built in electric oven below a gas cook top for many years and have up graded 8 years ago. I love the clean look so much that I am using the same design in my total kitchen remodel. I don’t care for free standing ranges. Love the stone surrounding the cook top. No spills down the side of the range to worry about. Never had a problem with oven cleaning disturbing the cook top. Never heard of that before. Look on line and you will see many kitchen displays shown. I am actually installing a 36 inch cook top over a 30 inch oven . There isn’t a 36 inch builtin oven made. But it works.

Jlardo,

This is a great option instead of having a free standing or slide in range. It is a far more sleek and custom look for the kitchen. There is no problem in having a wall oven under an induction or electric cooktop. In some cases it is a little more difficult with having a wall oven underneath a gas cooktop. In that case you sometimes need more width and depth in the cabinet, but it is model specific to the appliance.

Thanks for asking,

It would be installed on the wall or on the floor (if in an island) with access for the cord provided through a cut-out in the back of the cabinet. Exact location would be determined by the oven manufacturer.

Am I missing something? You are paying more than double the cost of simply installing a regular stove.

I was told by a salesperson at appliance store that heat from the oven, especially on clean setting, could damage the cooktop. Is this true?
