Help with Wall Oven Cabinet Design, Please?

10 years ago

I am having a wall cabinet made for a Wolf CSO and M series wall oven. The cabinet I am replacing is the tall pantry cabinet in the photo. The CSO will be installed above the M series wall oven. The Wolf wall cabinet configuration specification recommends the bottom of the M series wall oven start 22 inches from the floor. This puts the top of the CSO 66 inches from the floor which is 6 inches above eye level. I am concerned this may be too high for me because I don't want to have to raise my arms too high above my shoulders to take items out of the CSO. I am 5 feet 1 inches tall. Should I lower the wall oven by a few inches?

I took a quick look at the installation instructions and didn't see the 22" recommendation, but I did see that you can install a cooktop over the wall oven, in which case the oven would not be 22" from the floor. I would place the ovens at whatever height you find comfortable. I suspect the 22" is just a guideline.

Hi sherri1058. Thanks for your response. I found the spec sheet that shows the typical height from the floor is 22 inches. Go to the M series single oven page on the website. In the downloads section select "M series Standard Installation Combinations." The first page shows the typical height of 22 inches. I am not sure how much to lower the oven.
