Built-in oven - a fairly convenient device, with which you can bake, cook vegetables on the grill, even fry shish kebab. Of course, the choice of built-in oven should begin with the selection of the location of its location in the kitchen and the calculation of dimensions.
Most models of built-in oven, including ovens with microwave function , have standard dimensions in depth and height. The difference in size mainly depends on the internal volume and additional functions.
How to choose a built in oven?
It should be understood that the ovens can be dependent and independent, that is, controlled from one panel together with the hob, or have its own control panel with switches.
Another difference is the way of connecting the ovens. According to this parameter they can be:
- electric;
- gas.
Depending on the energy efficiency class, all ovens are divided into 3 groups:
- A, A + and A ++ - very economical and economical;
- В - average profitability;
- With - to this class belong the most "voracious" ovens.
In addition, recessed ovens vary in the number of functions performed. Accordingly, they can be simple and multifunctional.
Connecting the built-in oven
Depending on the electrical characteristics of the oven, you need to consider the presence of an outlet with the appropriate characteristics of the current consumed. The Euro-standard socket should be rated at 32 amps, and if you have old wiring in the kitchen, you will have to bring a new 3-wire line capable of withstanding high voltage.
The plug of modern built-in technology has a plug "euro-standard", so the socket must be appropriate. However, today in most houses there are euro-sockets, so this should not be a problem.
The connection of the gas oven is different in that it needs to be connected with a flexible hose from the gas main. It is important to monitor the thorough sealing of all connections. Connect the cabinet to the main line through a separate tap. Therefore, not to do without the help of masters of gas service. Otherwise, the connection of the gas oven differs little from the connection of the electric oven.
