How to Measure for a Built-in Oven

Built-in ovens use less space than conventional oven models.

The modern kitchen is all about space management and minimalism. Installing a built-in wall oven is more space efficient than standard oven models. There are a few things to consider before buying a built-in oven. If you have a large family, or often have dinner guests, you may wish to consider a double model. Measuring the oven properly, as well as considering how the oven will be used can help you choose the correct oven for your home.

Things You'll Need

• Measuring tape

Instructions

1. Measure the width and height of the doorway the oven needs to go through to the kitchen.

2. Measure the width and the depth of the wall area where the oven will sit. Take a height measurement also if you are considering a double unit.

3. Check the dimensions on the oven specification sheet before purchase, taking into account the space needed for gas fittings and electrical cords.
