Built-in ovens are very convenient and functional. A cabinet for a built-in oven allows you to beat any kitchen space, even a very small one. The option when the oven is placed directly under the hob does not suit everyone. As for independent models, they can be placed in any place convenient for you and at an ergonomically optimal height. All the features of the installation of such furniture and equipment will be considered in this article.

Module classification

There are 2 types of modules for the oven:

• The oven, which is located directly under the hob.
• Oven placed in a pencil case.

The drawer can be located at the top or bottom of the oven. Each of the options has its own advantages and disadvantages.

Cupboard under hob

If the cabinet is under the hob, then:

• The cooking area is compactly combined. This option is especially relevant to save space in the kitchen.
• Another positive point is that this is a universal option, suitable for women of any height.

• Poor ergonomics. You have to work in a bent position. Cooking and cleaning the oven are bound to be connected with the fact that you constantly have to “bow”. If a woman has back problems, then she is unlikely to spoil her family with baked dishes often.
• Cooling ventilation is located at the bottom or top of the structure. If the drawer is under the hob, the system is more likely to block.

Construction in a box

The most ergonomic and comfortable option is when the oven is at chest level:

• The hostess does not have to bend down, she is happy to cook delicious and healthy dishes.
• Cleaning the oven is also not associated with great inconvenience.

The only drawback of this placement of the oven is the inconvenience for undersized women. However, this minus is not critical. The problem can be easily eliminated if you make an oven cabinet with your own hands or order it from a specialized company for an individual project.

Important! Please note that installing the oven in a pencil case and strengthening the carrier horizon on which it is located go side by side. To do this, just screw 2 additional strips down from the horizon. This makes it possible to avoid collapse of the structure.

Product dimensions:

• In the west, equipment with a width of 900-1200 mm is considered standard. This corresponds to the concept of comfort in the US and Europe.
• In domestic kitchen sets, the width of the bedside table suitable for embedding is 600 mm. Therefore, the appropriate technique must be chosen.

Important! These requirements, for example, are best met by products from IKEA. Choose an oven so that it is smaller than the bedside table in width.

• There are also very tiny models with a width of 450 and a height of 600 mm. But this is not mass production, rather, a trial version.

Important! For most super-compact models, with a width of 450 mm, the height remains 850 mm, that is, standard. The depth of most of the products is 500-550 mm.

How to make a nightstand yourself?

To get started, stock up on materials and the necessary minimum of tools:

• Chipboard or plywood with a sheet thickness of 1.6-1.8 cm.
• Countertop (you can use the same materials, but with a sheet thickness of 2.8 mm).
• Legs.
• Fasteners - dowels, confirmations and self-tapping screws.
• Guides.
• Screwdriver.
• Drill.
• Joiner's glue.

Important! The instructions for the technique contain information not only on dimensions, but also on the requirements for the installation niche. If you are going to purchase or make your own cabinet, be sure to consider this.

The dimensions of the furniture that serves as an installation niche are the dimensions of the oven plus 1-2 cm of margin in size plus the thickness of the material. In fact, this is a box with 3 horizontal slats - one at the top and three at the bottom.

Make all necessary calculations. Then cut out the following details from the prepared material:

• Side parts (niche height + leg height + tabletop thickness) - 2 pcs.
• Horizon - exactly with measurements in depth and width - 2 pcs.
• Body plank. Its length corresponds to the width of the niche. The width of the body strip is up to 100 mm.

Important! You can cut sheets of MDF and chipboard in a professional workshop. At the same time, rational consumption of material, accuracy and speed of execution are guaranteed. In addition, edging is carried out in the workshop with a waterproof melamine film.

Built-in oven cabinet: assembly

Collect the finished product for dowels or confirmations. If fastening on dowels, then it is duplicated with furniture glue. The order of assembly is this.

Sketch of the body of the kitchen section, without facades.

In this section, as sliding elements, telescopic guides of full extension with a size of 550 mm are used.

The red line next to the size number indicates the edge. This means that this end of the part is front (visible) and it must be lined with a furniture edge. If there are two lines, then this means that both ends of the part of the corresponding size are pasted over with an edge.

In the given detailing of the kitchen section (module), the dimensions are indicated without taking into account the thickness of the edge.

The thickness of furniture edges up to 0.6 mm thick does not need to be taken into account in the size of the part . The part size will need to be reduced by the appropriate edge thickness if the edge, for example ABS, is to be 1 or 2 mm thick. For example: part width 400 mm, edge thickness 2 mm. it is necessary to paste over both ends of the part. Then the width dimension of the part must be adjusted to the thickness of the edge. Those. get 400 - 2 mm. - 2 mm. = 396 mm.

Built-in oven - very convenient. This device is an independent "player" in the kitchen and can be installed where you can not put a classic oven combined with a hob.

The oven set is a very important part of the modern kitchen. Built-in oven, hob, as well as a storage box for accessories. Such cabinets have indents for ventilation of the device, which distinguishes them from ordinary cabinets.

Interesting fact! The first built-in ovens appeared more than half a century ago. Now these devices are the best-selling in the world, despite the prevalence of classic models of ovens.

There are several types of cabinets for installing the oven:

1. Cupboards. In the design of this type of oven, they are built in at eye level, and spacious cabinets are installed below for storing various kitchen utensils.
2. Under the hob. Such devices are more like the classic version of ovens combined with stoves. They are less convenient than pencil cases, because when cooking you need to constantly bend over, which brings some discomfort. And also there may be problems with cleaning the oven. But they have advantages in some situations. For example, in small kitchens it will be difficult to put a large cabinet for the oven. Also, this design is suitable for those who concentrate all the items for cooking in one place.

Pros and cons of the design in the pencil case

Pencil cases have a number of conveniences: when cooking, you do not need to bend over, it is easier to follow the cooking process. Such headsets are useful for owners with back problems. Of course, their scope is much wider than just the location of the oven. There you can install a slow cooker, toaster or other kitchen appliances.

Since the ovens are at a height, it is important that the fastening is strong, because if the structure collapses, injuries can occur.

How to make a cabinet under the oven with your own hands

It is not difficult to make such a headset yourself. It is important to have basic knowledge and necessary materials. Self-collection is cheaper, and the procedure itself usually takes about three hours. Creation takes place in several stages:

• Dimensions. Standard sizes of headsets: width - 60 centimeters, height - 85 centimeters. It is necessary to calculate the size of the headset in advance so that the width of the oven is 1-2 centimeters less;
• Materials:

1. Plywood, thickness - 18 mm;
2. Materials for countertops with a thickness of about 30 mm;
3. Drawer guides;
4. Furniture supports (ordinary, plastic);
5. Euroscrews or confirmations, Self-tapping screws (3.5 by 16 mm);
6. Screwdriver, tape measure, pencil, ruler;

Drill 4 holes in the bottom, indent on the right and left -60 centimeters.

• Assembly. Count 5 centimeters from the edges to the middle, attach the legs. Put the bottom on an edge, attaching the side parts (the holes on the bottom are specially for this). Screw tighter so that the screw head does not protrude from the plywood. Then we attach the partition, screwing the confirmers through the side holes.

Prepare the box by installing the mating parts of the guide.

Let's move on to the next part of the design - installing the hob. First, in the countertop, determine the center where the hob will be installed. To do this, you need to additionally measure the outer part of the plate. After that, outline the dimensions of the future opening into which the inner part of the panel will be installed. Measure the inside.

It is important to make drawings five millimeters larger for free entry of the structure. Then drill a hole in the line. It is important that it does not go beyond the line. After that, the jigsaw blade is inserted and an opening is cut out.

Then you need to try to insert the hob into the opening. If necessary, carry out additional trimming. Then fix the device with the fasteners that come with the stove.

Ventilation

Good ventilation is essential for ovens to function properly. It is important to take care of this even before making a curbstone for the oven. For good ventilation, install the oven 60 mm from the headset wall, and the gaps on the side and bottom should be approximately 5 centimeters.

Some cabinets are designed with a special gap between the back wall and the bottom for more productive ventilation. It is important to take care of this in order to avoid damage to furniture, as well as breakage of the oven itself. Carefully read the instructions for the oven before constructing the cabinet.

conclusions

Ovens are a real miracle of technology. After the introduction of built-in devices without a cooktop, people have the freedom to choose the location of this device. They are compact, they have more useful and interesting features that will help you create culinary masterpieces.

Although for such ovens you need to purchase special kitchen sets, competently understanding this issue, we can not only purchase comfortable and high-quality cabinets, but also create them with our own hands, having basic skill and the necessary materials.

Cabinet for oven and hob - assembly steps of the simplest design

March 27, 2018
Specialization: master in the construction of plasterboard structures, finishing work and laying flooring. Installation of door and window blocks, facade finishing, installation of electrics, plumbing and heating - I can give detailed advice on all types of work.

Today we will figure out how to assemble a reliable cabinet for the oven and hob. Work is within the power of almost anyone, the main thing is to have the necessary materials and tools at hand.

Stages of work

Let's figure out how to properly organize the workflow, for simplicity, we divide all activities into 3 stages:

• Training;
• Cabinet assembly;
• Cutting a hole in a table top.

Preparatory work

To get started, collect everything you need:

• Chipboard blanks for furniture, They are made in accordance with the rest of the elements of the kitchen set. The standard width of the cabinet is 600 mm, the depth is from 400 to 600 mm, the 600 mm option is most often used, most ovens fit under it;
• Furniture supports. The cheapest plastic elements will do, they are easy to use and easy to attach;

• Fasteners for construction. We will tighten the locker with euro screws, which are also called confirmations. The guides for the drawer are screwed with self-tapping screws 3.5x16 mm;
• Drawer guides. It is better to purchase a ball version, it is much more reliable and durable than standard roller elements.

From the tool you need the following:

• screwdriver. In the kit, stock up on equipment: nozzles for self-tapping screws and euro screws, drills of different diameters;

Additionally, purchase a special drill for confirmations, it makes a hole and at the same time selects a pot under the head of the fastener.

• Electric jigsaw. Necessary for drilling an opening in the countertop under the hob;
• Measuring fixtures, you can do with a tape measure and a pencil.

Assembling the cabinet under the oven

Let's figure out how to assemble a cabinet under the oven. Regardless of the size of the structure, it is always assembled in the same way:

Illustration	Description
	Side walls being prepared. It is best to order them ready-made, but you can cut the material yourself, for this you use a power saw or a jigsaw.
	Sidewalls are being prepared: The line of attachment of the guide is drawn, the height of its location depends on the height of the drawer; Holes are drilled along the location of the partition on which the oven will stand. It is located above the drawer.
	Exposed guide, it aligns with the outer end of the structure and the previously drawn line.
	The guide is fixed. For this, self-tapping screws are used, which are located in holes specially designed for this. There must be at least four fasteners per rail. Another guide is similarly attached to the second wall.
	The bottom of the cabinet is being prepared. 4 holes are drilled in it for confirmations, the indent from the front and back sides is 50-70 mm, the indent from the edge to the middle is 9 mm, since the thickness of the plate is 18 mm. If the thickness of the chipboard is 20 mm or more, then the indentation is made by half the thickness of the plate.
	Legs attached to the bottom. Points are marked with an indent of 5 cm from the edges, and supports are attached there. They are screwed on self-tapping screws 3.5x16 mm.
	The bottom is placed on the edge, the side of the cabinet is combined with it. Holes are pre-drilled in it using a confirmatory drill.
	Side walls screw on. To do this, euro screws are inserted into the holes and tightened with a screwdriver so that the cap is flush with the surface.
	A partition is inserted on which the oven will stand. It is screwed on with confirmations from the sides.
	Cabinet is almost ready. It remains to assemble the box according to the size of the opening and attach the mating parts of the guides to it.
	The finished box is inserted into the opening. The cabinet is ready, you can proceed to the preparation of the countertop.

Preparing the worktop for the hob

The table-top can be both separate, and integral for all working zone. A cabinet is placed, a tabletop is fixed on it and the following work is carried out:

Illustration	Description
	The center of the panel is marked. The line is drawn strictly perpendicular to the wall. For this marking, the outer part of the hob is pre-measured.
