You'd need to be very careful about doing that - you risk overheating and damaging the electronic of the cooktop. I would only risk doing it if they're both made by the same manufacturer and the configuration is approved or if the cooktop installation specs specifically allow it to be installed over an oven. Otherwise, you risk voiding your warranty.

I have the DeDetrieche 309. I was going to put it over my wall oven but my particular oven is too tall and it did not leave the right amount of room per the specs. We could have done it with a smaller oven such as a Boshe or FP. You do need to plan it very carefully. We changed the position of the oven at the last minute and fortunately we were able to do that easily. I have nothing under my cook top now- just a sink base.

As Weissman suggested, I have an Electrolux induction cooktop and wall oven. The installation instructions clearly state that they can be stacked over one another. This particular induction model is rather thin and sits about a half inch above the counter which I suspects helps with the separation between the units.

if the config is allowed it usually is with two products from the same maker. that way you know the heat or venting won't harm the cooktop

We are installing a 30" Windcrest induction cooktop over a 30" Fisher & Paykel oven.

I called Windcrest to confirm that this is okay, and they said that as long as the oven model you choose allows for the space under the cooktop, as specified in the installation instructions everything will be fine.

We found a number of models of ovens that would work - but that could be because Windcrest seems to be one of the thinnest inductions models out there.

I see no problem with it, partuclarly if you lay a sheet of good insulating material over the wall oven with enough "breathing space beneath the induction unit. Some air space, regardless what the induction manufacturer says would be very advantageous, as would the non-flammable sheet of insulation. Are you trying to create your own range with an induction cooktop?

I must admit, unless you have a small kitchen, it doesn't strike me as the ideal set-up.

We have just that situation, a very small kitchen, so will be putting an oven below the induction. Kenmore also says you can put one model of their ovens below their induction. I think it was the Elite.

We could have done that with our DeDietrich, but having the oven in the island has just been so much more convenient. We put pots & pans drawers under the cooktop and that is so incredibly convenient. If that was the only place to put the oven, then you would have to do it or else get one of the new Diva induction ranges when they come out. But consider putting the oven elsewhere. I think you will find it more convenient. Here's how our setup looks:

{{gwi:1466892}}{{gwi:1407451}}

So, about how much air clearance is recommended for most inductions? (I'm considering the Gaggenau, Thermador, or Diva 36". I have drawers under the space where the cooktop will be... Will the top drawer have to be removed and changed over to a fake drawer front panel?)

Also, in general, will 36" induction units fit into a standard 36" base cabinet? Has anyone had any problems with the inside/bottom of the cooktop interfering with the walls of the cabinet underneath?

I have a De Deitrich 308X installed above a Dacor Millenia oven. In my case, the builder had a slide-in range and I simply trimmed the cabinet and had the counters replaced to create a separate oven/cooktop look.

The Dacor Millenia is well insulated and vents out the bottom. De Dietrich, Diva, Windcrest, and other Fagor/Brandt manufactured units will most likely have the same instructions for installing over an oven. The preferred method is to have two small squares cut out of the right and left rear cabinets to facilitate additional airflow, as well as cutting out two notches in the front of the cooktop underneath the counter lip if your cooktop has vents in the front.

It depends on the maker. Some allow 2", others want 8" or more to combustables.

Which with the above picture would mean that the center dividers and mittens would have to go. But the utensils are not combustable.

I'm thinking of doing the Electrolux 30" induction over 30" single wall oven combo because I like the look of the oven. However, I'm more interested in the new GE Profile 30" cooktop because of its increased power. Does anyone know which oven I can put under the GE? The install instructions just some it's approved for use with GE ovens listed on the unit, but I don't have unit to look at. It'd be nice to be able to put the GE cooktop above the Electrolux oven but warranty issues would worry me.

Thanks.

With rotating heat shield technology, which is pretty standard now in your better models, yes. Make sure and ask the salesman or get it direct from the company's 800 #.
