Single, built-under and built-in double oven sizes

Compare typical 60 cm single, 70–72 cm built-under and 90 cm built-in double oven heights, and check the fit.

Choosing

Approximate appliance heights. Always check the exact model and housing.

60 cm

Suitable housing under a worktop or in a tall unit.

70–72 cm

Fits a suitable space below the worktop.

90 cm

Fits a suitable tall kitchen unit.

Main oven and separate grill: One main oven with a dedicated grill compartment above it.
Double oven: A larger main oven below and a smaller second oven above, often with a grill function. Check the exact model to see which cooking functions each cavity provides and whether they can be used at the same time.

Freestanding cookers: A freestanding cooker combines an oven and hob in one appliance. When browsing our ovens and cookers, choose the appliance type and fuel to compare the right products. Bring measurements and a photo to our Carlisle showroom if you are unsure.

Check the housing: The sizes above are approximate product groups, not installation measurements. The housing opening and ventilation requirements can differ from the oven’s outside dimensions. A built-in double oven should not be assumed to fit a built-under double oven space.

Measure the actual cabinet opening’s internal height, width and usable depth. Do not use the oven’s front panel or a cupboard door as the fitting measurement.
The existing oven’s model number and installation arrangement.
Space for the door to open and for ventilation.
The position of any hob above the oven and its required clearances.

Fitting requirements: Electrical requirements vary by model. Check the manufacturer’s installation instructions and speak to our team about suitable fitting arrangements before ordering. A similar-looking replacement can require a different connection.

Common mistakes & simple checks

Protect the oven floor: Do not line the base with foil or put trays directly on it. Trapped heat can damage the oven.
Check the selected function: Oven and grill settings are different. Use the correct function and shelf position, and follow the manual’s grilling door position.
Cleaning: Use products suitable for the oven lining. Follow the model’s instructions for catalytic or pyrolytic cleaning and which accessories to remove.

Follow your exact model’s manual. If a problem continues, contact the shop with the model number and any error code.
