We are accustomed to the traditional installation of the appliance, when there is an oven under the hob. How to install differently, you ask? You need to break your stereotypes and be guided not by the generally accepted rules, but rely on the arrangement of furniture and usability of devices.Based on this, many install the oven above the countertop level.

Thanks to the standard sizes of ovens, they can easily be built into an existing kitchen set. The main thing is to have a niche level. The presence of even a small skew may cause damage to the electronics and improper distribution of heat (in the case of a gas oven).
Installation Between the installed oven and the niche, to prevent overheating of the furniture, which can cause a fire, should be gaps. They will provide air ventilation. Behind the device you need to make a gap of 5 mm, on the sides - 5 mm and bottom - 10 mm.
Connection
Special attention needs to be paid electrical wiring, in the event that the oven being installed is electric. Wire cross-section should correspond to the device power.You also need to decide how you will connect the device: directly to the wire or into a wall outlet.
When choosing the second method of connection, you will need a plug (usually not necessary here, due to the high power of the oven) to 40A with ground connection. It needs to unleash. Then strip the three-core cable. The blue and red wires must be connected to the “phase” and “zero” contact groups, and the remaining white is fixed in the “grounding” connector (the colors of the wires may be different). We collect the plug, which is then plugged into a power outlet that can withstand the power of an electric oven.
Now insert the oven into a niche. We adhere to the above described indents. Next, the built-in oven needs fixing. To do this, open the door of the device and find the mounting holes. Using a screwdriver or a cross-head screwdriver and four screws, fasten the electric oven to the walls of the niche. The built-in electric oven is ready for operation!
As for the connection of the gas oven, for the sake of their safety, it is better to invite a specialist.
With a flexible gas hose, he connects the oven to a gas pipe.In this case, the device is installed at least 1.2 meters from the gas source. But even here, we cannot do without electricity, because ignition and lighting will not work without it.
It does not matter from which power source the device works, before it is first used calcine for half an hour. Then, after the final cooling, wash all the walls of the device and wipe with a damp cloth.
