Hi folks,
A friend of mine who lives some distance away has contacted me to ask if she can build a built under double oven into a column in her new kitchen. She has bought the oven by mistake on ebay :rolls: and the kitchen company are refusing to install it due to inadequate ventilation. The carcus has no back apparently, so I’m thinking this should be ok, is this correct ?
You need a good supply of air through/passed the oven to keep it within range. If she has a ventilation vent in the plinth as well as one on top of the column she should be OK.
Do the shelves in the tower cabinet go back to the wall? If yes she will need to cut a section out of every shelf including the base and top and as Ian says put a vent in the plinth to allow air flow. Because built under ovens are smaller than built in she will also need to make up up 180mm with a filler panel, a vent could be put here but not as nice to look at.
