Question about ovens

spirit

Hello everyone,

I'm looking for a new electric, single, built under oven. I've found lots of built in ovens. What's the difference if any between built in and built under ovens.

I have an under the worktop housing (or will have when its delivered on Friday.

well built in can be in a tall housing case, under worktop in a smaller housing unit but all are the same width ie 600 its just really personal pref as to which one you want to buy some people dont like to bend down to an oven hence they buy built in and others dont mind so they buy built under and you can fit most ovens into both especially single ovens. hope this helps

If you have an under worktop housing then you need a BUILT UNDER oven

thanks but looking at some of them on line, I can't see the difference between the ovens themselves. On many sites, you get lists of built in single ovens or built under doubles not built under singles.

If you have a built under double oven, then it doesn't go in an oven housing unit. A space is left for it to go in and it sits on legs, then a plinth is run ijn front of the legs so that it looks built in.

Built in require a 600mm oven carcass unit

Built under doubles are 720 in height and do not require a kitchen unit carcass, The oven will be supplied with metal angle brackets that fix to the units either side to support the oven

As per my first post, its a single oven. Like I say, i can't see any difference between single built in and single built under - and some websites only say single built in.
