Cabinet for hob and oven: useful information. Dimensions of built-in ovens: how not to make a mistake with the installation Cabinet for built-in household appliances
Box design rules for oven are given in this article.
To find out what a cabinet is hob and oven, you need to read the instructions of experienced furniture makers.
Not a single normal housewife can do without a high-quality oven.
Good dishes often cannot be prepared without such a device.
Today, there are a huge variety of such household appliances available on the market, differing in design features and operating principles, useful volume, etc.
To decide on one model, you will have to consider the main features of modern ovens.
Based on the installation principle, such products are divided into:
- Independent, suitable for installation in a furniture niche, easily moved to any convenient place.
- Built-in ones, which are mounted in special furniture niches, cannot be removed after installation.
The oven heating principle can be as follows:
- Gas, which you can only trust to work with experienced specialists relevant authorities.
- Electrical, the best way suitable for self-installation.
In addition to the convenience of installing an electric oven, there are other advantages:
- Temperature rise in gas oven carried out due to the combustion of fuel passing into the chamber through a special nozzle. This creates uneven heating.
- In electric ovens heating elements installed in the chamber on four sides. This way the food heats evenly. That is, the quality of cooked food in electric ovens is much higher.
Oven cabinet design
You can consider two main types of oven modules.
In each such model, additional variation may be used. The most popular oven is the oven with a vernacular surface. Another popular option is an oven in a pencil case. The box under the hob can be manufactured in several versions:
- With a drawer above the oven.
- With a drawer under the oven.
The oven, located at eye level in a special case, can have work surface above the cabinet itself in a pencil case without.
What is good about the box under the hob?
The cabinet for the hob and oven into which the insert is made has the following features:
- Appears effective area for cooking food.
- This design allows you to save free space in the kitchen.
- A clear advantage is that a cook of any height can comfortably use such products.
The disadvantages of such boxes include the need to work in a slightly bent state. You will have to bend over all the time when cooking food in the oven.
At the bottom of the hob there is a ventilation system for cooling. When the drawer is placed at the top under the hob itself, there is a possibility of the system blocking due to overheating. If you put, for example, a sheet of paper in such a box, it will immediately be sucked in. This will deprive the ventilation system of air flow.
Convenient operation of the stove is ensured by placing it at chest level. A housewife under such conditions will be very happy to cook a lot of tasty and healthy food. You don't have to bend down every time to look into the oven. If the housewife is short, this arrangement of the oven can cause some inconvenience.
Such difficulties can be easily eliminated if the oven box is designed according to the client’s individual requests.
Main Dimensions
Today, many kitchen sets are made with built-in household appliances. That's why design features such modules need to be understood.
The oven box has two standard sizes:
- Width 600 mm.
- The height of the internal opening corresponding to 600 mm. In some cases, the height of such an opening is 595 mm.
The height of the box determines only the dimensions of the bottom drawer with facade. Dimensions of the niche required for installation technical means, can always be determined in the instructions. These are the dimensions that the cabinet for the hob and oven should correspond to.
It will be possible to purchase such a product cheaply only if the supplier of furniture products provides the opportunity to select individual ready-made sections.
The bottom, walls and top panel of the cabinet should not be warped. The bottom should be as parallel to the floor level as possible.

Currently, the vast majority of kitchen units are designed with, therefore, understanding the design of such modules is very important.
The box we are considering has two unchanged sizes:
- This is its width, which is 600mm
- And, which is also equal to 600mm (sometimes the opening is designed with a height of 595mm).
From total height box, only the size of the lower drawer with the front depends.
The dimensions of the niche for installing the equipment we are considering can always be found in the instructions for it.
Let's calculate the module details:
Horizon – 600 by 460 (mm) – 1 pc.
Side – 870-28-100-16=726 (mm), where 28mm is the thickness of the tabletop, 100mm is the distance from the box to the floor (height of the supports), 16mm is the thickness of the lower horizon.
- Side – 726 by 460 – 2 pcs.
- Horizon 2 – 600-32=568 (mm), where 32mm is the thickness of the two sides of the box.
- Horizon 2 – 568 by 460 – 1 pc.
- Cabinet strip – 568 by 100 – 1 pc.
It’s also worth saying a few words about the body strip.
In this case, it is designed alone, and is located 10mm below the upper edge of the side ().
This is done so that when using a tabletop with a thickness of 28mm, it is normally attached to the tabletop and does not rest against the bar itself (sometimes the dimensions of this equipment may exceed the height dimensions of the tabletop).
By the way, I have often come across training materials online where the casing strip is not designed at all in the box we are considering.
I think this approach is not correct, since this bar maintains the distance between the sides of the module, and it is necessary in any case.
Let's calculate the front for the drawer below
The height dimension that it covers is equal to:
870-28-100-600=142 (mm), where 100mm is the height of the adjustable supports, 600mm is the internal opening of the box.
You also need to know that the depth of the oven is such that when the back “overlap” of the countertop onto the box is 100 mm (namely, this (and more) size should be given to kitchens that include similar modules), in the projection of the oven (on the wall ) there should not be anything (sockets, pipes, etc.), since the cabinet may simply not “fit” into the box.
The photo shows an option when there are sockets on the part of the wall visible through the opening, which then had to be removed. Therefore, these problems need to be solved at the kitchen design stage, and not when it is almost installed. You also need to take into account the evenness of the floors. If they are not level, then the lower modules will be adjusted, and accordingly, the position of the projection of the opening of our box on the wall will change.
This all needs to be taken into account.
Such modules can also be designed in such a way that they are located not at the bottom, but at the top, but we’ll talk about that.
That's all.

For every housewife, the kitchen is a special place in an apartment or house. Culinary delights are brought to life in the kitchen, so it is very important that it is practical and convenient. When choosing a headset, we rarely think about it. More often we are interested in the aesthetic side. But in vain. be comfortable and multifunctional, and only then will you want to cook and spend time on it most of its time. for the kitchen it looks monolithic with the interior.
Today they are very popular. This concept means capable of organically containing all household appliances. In other words, the kitchen is located in specially designated areas in the unit, which creates the impression of being built-in. She doesn't stand out general level through integration. Thanks to this, the kitchen becomes more convenient and the space increases.
Characteristic
Built-in kitchens are popularly called architectural. They look attractive and unobtrusive. Working in such a kitchen, there is no feeling of “excess” of appliances, since they are organically built into the main set.
Today, headsets of various configurations are sold. They differ in design, color and set of devices. But regardless of this, each headset has:
- Built-in oven.
- Fridge.
- Plate.
- Dish washing machine.
- Hood.
You can hide any equipment in the headset
Without it minimum set in the kitchen is indispensable. But for many this is not enough, so they additionally build in the following equipment:
- Food processor.
- Built-in microwave.
- Deep frying.
- Coffee making machine.
- Chest.
- Toaster.
Is not final list. The number of built-in equipment is not limited. It all depends on the wishes of the person and his needs.
For the kitchen it is placed throughout the unit. The refrigerator, washing machine and other heavy equipment are placed in the bottom row. And items such as a built-in microwave oven, TV or coffee maker can be placed on upper shelves. The placement location depends on the weight of the item and the need for its use.
Built-in kitchen appliances allow you to free up space and use space efficiently. She looks graceful and stylish.
And countertops. It is a misconception that a built-in kitchen is not functional. If desired, they can fit into such a set retractable tables, serving as work surfaces, built-in ovens, cabinets and shelves.
Types of built-in headsets
Corner option will save space and be very practical
The good thing about an architectural kitchen is that the built-in appliances for the kitchen are not “catchy” to the eye. Such kitchens are convenient both in small spaces and in large rooms. Depending on the area, the type of headset is selected:
- Angular.
- Single row.
- Double row.
- Rounded.
The corner set looks organically in combined kitchens and living rooms. But they are also suitable for indoors small size. In such designs, cupboards are placed in corner zone at the top and the sink at the bottom. The main built-in kitchen appliances are placed on both sides for symmetry.
Single-row headsets are convenient for large rooms. This kitchen set with built-in technology allows expansion dining area. The sink is located in the middle of the structure, the refrigerator and the cabinet for the built-in oven are on the sides. These two items cannot be placed next to each other. When working, they interfere with each other: the oven radiates heat, so the refrigerator works harder and vice versa.
In double-row headsets freezer or the refrigerator is placed parallel to the sink and hob.
A rounded set is considered the most comfortable. But in order for this to happen, it is worth remembering that the rear panel of the structure must be more than 2.5 m, and the side panels must be at least 1.5 m.
Rounded stylish design can be combined in any interior
Original design solution– a set with an “island”. An “island” refers to an object that serves as a work or dining area. Such kitchens are often installed in large rooms for the purpose of zoning space. An “island” is a demarcating design element that helps divide space into zones. Often the bar counter acts as an “island”. Many “island” models include an additional retractable tabletop for cutting food. If necessary, the tabletop slides back and is invisible to the eye. Such “islands” can easily accommodate built-in coffee makers, toasters and other small Appliances.
Disadvantages and advantages
Advantages of built-in furniture:
- Single package. There are no cracks or gaps between the structural objects.
- Replacing standard gas or electric stove on hob. This is a huge plus. Not everyone uses ovens, so this space is used as desired.
- Design decision. Built-in furniture is made to order. Therefore, it will clearly fit into the parameters and design of the room. And properly selected built-in appliances in the kitchen complement the style of the interior.
- Attractive appearance. Appliances and furniture located on the same level look perfect.
- Convenience. This applies to both cooking and cleaning or washing furniture. No dirt gets into the cracks, you don’t have to lift furniture under the built-in appliances to wash the floor, move the microwave, and much more.
- The kitchen for built-in appliances is ergonomic. A space not cluttered with household appliances allows you to cook more conveniently and calmly. And rational placement of equipment saves time.
Household appliances and furniture - an organic whole
To avoid disappointment with such a set, all details of placement and layout are thought out in advance, because later they cannot be changed.
Flaws:
- It will not be possible to move a household appliance to another place if the desire arises. This will leave empty space in the furniture.
- Such headsets and built-in equipment are expensive. Their cost is higher than ordinary kitchen furniture, so not everyone can afford to buy them.
- Built-in kitchen furniture difficult to give in repair work. If one of the structures breaks, you will have to unscrew half of the headset to replace it. And to replace broken equipment, you will have to unscrew the built-in kitchen tables and shelves.
- Difficulty in replacing a similar item of construction. If a furniture “part” breaks, you will have to replace it with a similar part. The replacement will have to be made to order based on the design parameters.
Buying built-in furniture
There are two options to become the owner of a built-in headset:
- Order the production of the premises and wishes.
- Buy a standard headset.
Order or ready-made option- you decide
If everything is clear with custom-made furniture, then when purchasing standard headset pay attention to:
- There is no need to buy furniture and household appliances separately. The latter may not fit in size. Before choosing, we measure the parameters of the equipment and compare them with the niches in the furniture.
- We determine the necessary household appliances.
- Select devices according to the design of the headset. Multi-colored appliances and textured sets do not look very harmonious, so it is advisable to select devices in the same color scheme.
When making custom-made furniture, it is worth considering not only the parameters of the room, but also other aspects. We bring to your attention a few tips that will help you design built-in furniture correctly.
- An additional countertop is installed between the hob and the refrigerator.
- For convenience in upper cabinets There is a microwave and oven installed, and a washing machine in the lower one.
- The oven space is located at eye level.
When choosing a headset, we take into account the number of people living in the family and the expected processes. Clearly define the intended purpose of each household appliance.
Conclusion
There is no point in purchasing a “ready-made” built-in kitchen. It's better to order it. This way, a person will have the opportunity to decide on the size of the future set, choose the color and design, select equipment and harmoniously combine the decoration of the room with the built-in furniture.
