Built under electric double oven - carcass size issues?

[sparkybird]

Hi everyone

As we are having about a million people to Chrsitams dinner this year, I though it was the right time to upgrade to an electric double oven.

I've had a look at a few, but all seem to be a little too large and I wondered if anyone knew which manufacturer might fit.

The internal carcass cavity size is

Width 570mm (this seems OK)
Depth - absolute max 535mm
Height - 705mm (without destroying the base of the carcass)

Thanks in advance

Built-under double ovens don't fit into a carcass, which is why you're finding they're too big to fit!

What you need to do is remove your carcass completely and simply leave a 600mm wide gap between the cupboards either side. There are then mounting brackets which you fasten to the two remaining cupboards in order to mount the oven.

Also, if you have a gas hob above your oven, you may struggle with the depth sometimes. I have a Bosch built-under double oven fitted underneath a gas hob and there wasn't room to run the gas pipe down behind the oven (there's about 5mm between the back of it and the wall) and instead it has to run sideways into the next cupboard. This didn't pose a problem for me as I was fitting everything from new but if you're working around an existing kitchen it's something to bear in mind.
