IN modern kitchens You can increasingly see built-in household appliances. And this is not surprising. Integrated stoves and refrigerators, washing and dishwashers, microwave and UHF ovens allow you to save work surface, more functionally manage internal space cabinets And, of course, they give a more holistic and harmonious look. overall design kitchens. How to build an oven with your own hands? It's worth starting with correct layout kitchen set.

With a competent approach to developing a kitchen design project, the location of a free-standing stove or the “oven + hob” duo is inextricably linked with the supply of the hood to the ventilation shaft. Therefore, even at the stage of starting repairs, you can clearly determine the location of the oven. And, accordingly, provide sockets for its connection.

However, not everything is clear here. The outlet must not be located strictly behind the oven. When the plug is plugged into it, a “dead” zone is formed, which will not allow the oven to move until required depth.

Option for socket location below level oven also not very successful. It is much more convenient to first turn off the equipment, and only then remove it from the kitchen cabinet. And not the other way around - when the need arises to disconnect from the network, start pulling out a rather heavy unit.

The most optimal solution– move the socket below the level of the countertop to a nearby cabinet. It would be ideal if the adjacent cabinet table near the oven would have drawers. Then you don’t have to install the back wall in the cabinet itself at all. It is enough to remove the desired drawer and access to the outlet is open.

It’s also a good idea to screw an overhead socket to the side of a cabinet with hinged doors. It will not interfere with the internal filling of the cabinet, and it is quite convenient to use.

The main thing is that this cabinet does not turn out to be a table under the sink. Such close proximity to water and sewage drainage is undesirable.

Drawings on how to build an oven with your own hands

This task is not as difficult as it might seem at first glance. To facilitate installation, household appliances are produced in certain standard dimensions. You can always exchange one built-in oven for another without changing kitchen furniture.

The standards here are simple: any electric or gas oven is built into a 600x600 mm niche. Moreover, the width of the niche is 600 mm, taking into account the thickness of the side walls of the oven module (according to the requirements of most models, the finishing size of the opening must be at least 560 mm).

The depth of the oven is designed to fit under a worktop with a standard width of 600 mm. That is, the body to the front overhang should be 550-560 mm. It will not be possible to build an oven with your own hands under a narrowed countertop. But for an expanded one, in various design variations, it’s fine.

Nuances may arise in specific non-standard cases. Therefore, carefully read the instructions at the purchasing stage. household appliances. Some ovens require space for ventilation in the box design.

Or even a special cutout for air circulation in the bottom of the cabinet or countertop.

Typical design The cabinet for the oven is shown in the drawing.

If the cabinet table is “clamped” between adjacent modules, then there is no need for an upper tension bar. Many furniture makers do not install it at all.

If the height of the kitchen set is standard (840-850 mm with different tabletop thicknesses), then the height of the very side of the oven cabinet will be 720 mm. By simple calculations(720-600) we get a space of 120 mm at the bottom of the installation. More precisely, the free space will be (120-32) only 88 mm, minus the thickness of the bottom and shelf.

A drawer with a box 50-60 mm high is usually built into this space. If you increase the height of the bottom row of the kitchen to match your height (you can read about this), then the drawer will be deeper and more functional.

Actually, using the same principle, the cabinet “turns” into a cabinet for a built-in oven. We simply increase the height of the space in the bottom drawer.

But there's one here important nuance. The depth of the sides of a cabinet that has been increased in height must also be increased so that the gap between the wall and the cabinet body is not visible.

This means that the air circulation near the oven built in this way will be disrupted. It’s not for nothing that the instructions for ovens for installation in a pencil case include a separate drawing. In which you can see that you need to leave the drink under air circulation.

Therefore, a cutout should be provided in the countertop covering such a low cabinet for a built-in oven with your own hands. It can be covered with a ventilation grill.

DIY oven cabinet, drawings and calculations

Let's take as an example the calculation of a cabinet for a built-in oven standard sizes. Its drawing will look like in the following way.

With a tabletop width of 600 mm, taking into account the overhang at the front and rear, the cabinet depth will vary between 460-500 mm.

If you decide to install the tension bar in the center of the module, then it should be lowered by about 10 mm relative to the sidewalls. Otherwise, it will interfere with embedding the hob into the countertop above the oven with your own hands.

If the body of the cabinet is made of 16 mm thick laminated chipboard, then the calculation of the parts will look like this.

Sometimes from drawer the design of the box for the oven is completely abandoned. It is absolutely not needed as a storage place if the kitchen is large and the housewife has enough drawers and shelves in it. Then a “fake” (rigidly fixed facade) is placed on the opening under the oven.

Built-in oven – this model is very convenient. Not everyone is happy with the option when the oven is located under the hob: especially when both units need to be turned on at the same time. An independent model can be placed anywhere and at any height.

Product dimensions

Foreign companies started producing ovens. This significantly affected the dimensions of the product.

The standard width of models is 90–120 cm. This corresponds to the European idea of ​​comfort.

• However, the standards of Russian kitchen sets are completely different. Here is a cabinet for an oven and hob has a width of 60 cm. in this case Device manufacturers gave in and began producing models with the appropriate width. For example, famous manufacturer Ikea home goods.

In order to ensure ease of installation, the width of the oven should be 1–2 cm smaller.

• Today you can also find very miniature built-in models - with a width of 45 cm and a height of 60 cm. However, these are rather trial samples. As a rule, even with a width of 45 cm, the height remains standard - 85 cm.
• The depth in most products is 50–55 cm.

A cabinet for a built-in oven is usually equipped with a drawer for storing baking sheets, dishes and other things.

Materials and tools

A DIY oven cabinet is a very real task. There are no special difficulties here. To make it you will need the following:

• plywood or chipboard 16–18 mm thick;
• tabletop thickness of 28 mm or more;
• legs;
• furniture confirmations, dowels and screws;
• guides;
• electric drill;
• wood glue.

Kitchen cabinet calculations

As a rule, the instructions for the oven contain data not only on the dimensions of the model itself, but also on the requirements for the installation niche. This should be used in calculations.

The dimensions of the cabinet under the oven are equal to the parameters of the installation niche plus the thickness of the material used. In fact, it is a box with a double bottom - horizons 1 and 2 and a horizontal crossbar at the top - the body strip. The latter is required for normal fastening of the hob to the countertop. In addition, this part maintains the distance between the sidewalls, which is also important.

First you need to make calculations, then cut out the following parts from sheets of chipboard or MDF:

• sidewalls - the sum of the height of the niche, the thickness of the table top and the height of the legs - 2 pcs;
• horizon - that is, the bottom, the dimensions are exactly equal to the parameters of the installation niche - depth and width - 2 pcs;
• body strip - its length is equal to the width of the niche, and its own width does not exceed 100 mm.

The back wall of the drawer, as a rule, is not included in the detailing: it is made from fiberboard scraps. Usually its height does not exceed 100 mm.

The drawer parts are calculated using the residual method. It's easy to do:

• the height of the facade is equal to the difference between the height of the kitchen cabinet, the height of the legs and the thickness of the first horizon. The façade does not block it due to the installation features of the oven. The width corresponds to 60 cm minus 3 mm. As a rule, there is no handle here: to make it more convenient to use, a recess is made on the second horizon;
• the side parts are equal in length to the depth of the cabinet minus the gaps, and in height - the distance between the two horizons minus the gaps;
• The length of the rear wall takes into account the thickness of both sidewalls and the thickness of the guides.

Chipboard or MDF can be cut to size in a workshop: with professional equipment, the pattern will take much less time, and accuracy is guaranteed. In addition, in most cases, the parts are edged here - the ends are covered with a melamine strip. Otherwise, you will have to do the operation yourself.

Product assembly

The kitchen cabinet for the oven and hob is assembled using confirmations or dowels. The fastening of the latter is duplicated with glue. The holes for them are drilled in advance.

Self-tapping screws are allowed.

1. First you need to assemble the box itself - the sides and horizontals.
2. Then secure the body strip, lowering it 10 mm from the edge of the side panel.
3. The legs need to be attached to the bottom of the product with self-tapping screws.
4. If you decide to make a drawer, then before installing the first horizon, guides - hinged or telescopic - are attached to the walls.
5. Install the back wall.
6. The product is assembled and installed on the guides.

The do-it-yourself oven cabinet is ready. In the photo you can see a product that is in no way inferior even to well-known brands like Ikea.

In traditional kitchen ovens, the oven is combined with a hob. But not all housewives are satisfied with this option for organizing their workspace. To make the cooking process as convenient as possible, and the kitchen interior stylish and compact, special furniture is used to build in ovens.

Features and benefits of a kitchen with a built-in oven

An oven cabinet is a structure designed to accommodate an oven. She may be part of furniture set, or purchased separately.

The advantages of a kitchen interior with a built-in oven include:

• visual appeal - such an interior looks much more elegant than a kitchen with a conventional oven;
• saving useful space;
• the ability to organize a “work triangle” (food preparation area) in a way that is convenient for the owners of the house;
• practicality - such furniture often combines several functions at once. For example, it can serve as a storage system.

But this solution also has features that must be taken into account when choosing:

• the cost of built-in appliances complete with furniture is higher than traditional ones;
• if the equipment is rearranged or fails, problems may arise: the oven will have to be changed along with the cabinet, since it will be difficult to find a structure that is suitable in size - usually the furniture is matched to the equipment, and not vice versa.

Types of kitchen cabinet designs for built-in ovens

To embed equipment, two types of furniture are used:

• floor cabinets;
• cabinets.

The cabinet for the built-in oven allows you to place it at a height of no more than 20 cm from the floor. For most housewives, this is a familiar option.

The oven case involves placing equipment on one of its shelves and has the following advantages:

• allows you to set the oven at the optimal height;
• makes it possible to make it inaccessible to small children;
• Ideal for people who have difficulty bending.

Pencil cases are not suitable for cramped kitchens - they look too bulky there. In this case, it is better to choose a taller floor cabinet.

Depending on the shape, oven furniture can be:

• straight - in the form of a rectangle. Typically, such designs are part of the furniture composition of the set;
• corner – made in the form of triangles or trapezoids and allow you to install equipment in a corner.

Particular attention should be paid to the material from which the cabinet is made. It must not only withstand the impressive weight of the equipment, but also be heat-resistant and safe for humans.

To make structures for the oven use:

• Chipboard is inexpensive and does not have high performance properties;
• MDF is a material more High Quality. Furniture made from it is durable and does not deform under the influence of steam;
• natural wood is a material that requires special care. It is used for the production of oven cabinets in rare cases.

For the manufacture of back walls and bent elements The façade uses fiberboard or plywood.

The material itself and its coatings should not contain toxic synthetic substances: when exposed to heat, they enter the air and can cause serious poisoning.

How to choose an oven cabinet - what requirements should you make?

Built-in ovens can be:

• gas;
• electric.

Gas ovens are more expensive, but pay for themselves faster - gas is cheaper than electricity. However, the heat is not distributed so evenly in them and some products are not baked.

In any case, the furniture must be equipped with a ventilation system - a grille or special openings. Some models are made without a back wall.

Electric models are not economical and require high-quality wiring, but dishes in them are cooked evenly, for which they have received recognition from most housewives.

It is important to choose the right size of furniture. If this is an oven cabinet, then its height is usually from 65 to 80 cm.

Depending on the design, this parameter includes:

• height of the oven box – 59.5 or 60 cm (standard);
• height of legs/base – 10-12 cm;
• tabletop thickness – 2-4 cm;
• drawer height – 10-20 cm.

The depth of the cabinet is from 50 to 65 cm, depending on the model of the built-in equipment. Of this, about 10-13 cm is the overlap of the countertop on the body, which is necessary for stable placement of the oven. Width varies from 50 to 120 cm.

The sizes of kitchen cabinets are more variable; their depth and width are identical to the parameters of the cabinets, and the height can range from 160 to 220 cm.

The oven module should always be larger than the appliance itself to ensure free air circulation.

What can a cabinet for a built-in oven contain?

A cabinet for a built-in oven can combine the functions of other household appliances:

• Microwave ovens (microwaves);
• hobs.

An oven with a microwave function has gained wide popularity due to its practicality and convenience. It allows you to use the oven as a microwave, and modern models equipped with other operating modes - for example, defrosting, grilling, baking.

Structurally, this technique is an oven equipped with a magnetron - a microwave radiation generator.

Any oven can be combined with a hob. There are two options for this technique:

• dependent set - in it the cabinet and panel have common system management;
• independent - in this case, the oven and panel are purchased separately.

The dependent set looks stylish and harmonious, but is inferior to the independent one in practicality - if it breaks down, the entire structure fails. In addition, in the latter case, it is possible to choose equipment that meets the needs of the housewife.

Additional equipment for oven cabinets - storage and opening systems

Furniture under the oven can be used to store kitchen utensils.

For floor cabinets, the storage system is represented by an upper or lower drawer of limited height. Because of this, only certain items can be stored in it. For example, frying pans and baking sheets.

A pencil case has more possibilities for organizing a storage system - in it it can be represented by open shelves, drawers and compartments with doors.

Typically, the oven is built into the middle of the structure, so the storage compartments are located at the bottom or top.

In closed sections of the cabinet-case they are used Various types door opening mechanisms:

• swing doors are the simplest: the doors are attached to hinges and open towards you;
• folding - horizontal hinged system: open up or down;
• lifting - open using gas lifts.

Rules for placing an oven cabinet in a kitchen set

To ensure that the oven cabinet fits harmoniously into the kitchen interior, is convenient and safe to use, follow the following recommendations when placing it:

• follow the rule of the “work triangle” - a space limited by three points: oven, sink and refrigerator. The total sum of its sides should not exceed 6 meters;
• choose a comfortable height for the equipment. The best option– from 20 to 80 cm above floor level;
• Do not place the oven close to the refrigerator: this may lead to damage to one of the appliances;
• the distance between the sink and the oven should be less than 45 cm to avoid short circuits;
• the gas oven should be located no further than 1.2 m from the pipe - the longer the hose, the less reliable it is;
• think over the opening zone. It should allow you to freely remove the baking sheet from the oven.

Stages and rules for installing an oven in a kitchen set

Installation of a built-in oven consists of several stages:

• checking equipment for functionality by connecting to the network;
• installing the cabinet in the right place;
• checking the electrical wiring - it must have a sufficient level of resistance and be grounded. It is desirable to have a circuit breaker that is triggered by voltage surges;
• if the stove is gas, check the pipes. They must be intact, without damage;
• placing the oven in a furniture niche. If the cabinet is equipped back wall, then you need to make holes in it for the wires;

Rules for designing a box for an oven are given in this article.

To find out what a cabinet for a hob and oven is, you need to read the instructions from experienced furniture makers.

Not a single normal housewife can do without a high-quality oven.

Good dishes often cannot be prepared without such a device.

Today, there are a huge variety of such household appliances available on the market, differing in design features and operating principles, useful volume, etc.

To decide on one model, you will have to consider the main features of modern ovens.

Based on the installation principle, such products are divided into:

• Independent, suitable for installation in a furniture niche, easily moved to any convenient place.
• Built-in ones, which are mounted in special furniture niches, cannot be removed after installation.

The oven heating principle can be as follows:

• Gas, work with which can only be trusted by experienced specialists from the relevant authorities.
• Electrical, the best way suitable for self-installation.

In addition to the convenience of installing an electric oven, there are other advantages:

• The temperature in a gas oven increases due to the combustion of fuel passing into the chamber through a special nozzle. This creates uneven heating.
• In electric ovens heating elements installed in the chamber on four sides. This way the food heats evenly. That is, the quality of cooked food in electric ovens is much higher.

Oven cabinet design

You can consider two main types of oven modules.

In each such model, additional variation may be used. The most popular oven is the oven with a vernacular surface. Another popular option is an oven in a pencil case. Box under hob can be manufactured in several versions:

• With a drawer above the oven.
• With a drawer under the oven.

The oven, located at eye level in a special pencil case, can have a working surface above the cabinet itself in the pencil case without.

What is good about the box under the hob?

The cabinet for the hob and oven into which the insert is made has the following features:

• A useful area for cooking appears.
• This design allows you to save free space in the kitchen.
• A clear advantage is that a cook of any height can comfortably use such products.

The disadvantages of such boxes include the need to work in a slightly bent state. You will have to bend over all the time when cooking food in the oven.

At the bottom of the hob there is a ventilation system for cooling. When the drawer is placed at the top under the hob itself, there is a possibility of the system blocking due to overheating. If you put, for example, a sheet of paper in such a box, it will immediately be sucked in. This will deprive the ventilation system of air flow.

Convenient operation of the stove is ensured by placing it at chest level. Under such conditions, a housewife will be very happy to prepare a lot of tasty and healthy food. You don't have to bend down every time to look into the oven. If the housewife is short, this arrangement of the oven can cause some inconvenience.

Such difficulties can be easily eliminated if the oven box is designed according to the client’s individual requests.

Main Dimensions

Today, many kitchen sets are made with built-in household appliances. That's why design features such modules need to be understood.

The oven box has two standard sizes:

• Width 600 mm.
• The height of the internal opening corresponding to 600 mm. In some cases, the height of such an opening is 595 mm.

The height of the box determines only the dimensions of the lower drawer with the front. Dimensions of the niche required for installation technical means, can always be determined in the instructions. These are the dimensions that the cabinet for the hob and oven should correspond to.

It will be possible to purchase such a product cheaply only if the supplier of furniture products provides the opportunity to select individual ready-made sections.

The bottom, walls and top panel of the cabinet should not be warped. The bottom should be as parallel to the floor level as possible.

Cabinet for oven and hob - assembly steps simplest design

March 27, 2018
Specialization: master in construction plasterboard structures, finishing works and styling floor coverings. Installation of door and window units, finishing of facades, installation of electrical, 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 an oven and hob. Almost anyone can do the job, the main thing is to have it on hand necessary materials and tool.

Stages of work

Let’s figure out how to properly organize the work process; for simplicity, we will divide all activities into 3 stages:

• Preparation;
• Assembling the cabinet;
• Cutting an opening in the tabletop.

Preparatory work

To get started, gather everything you need:

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

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

The tool you need is the following:

• Screwdriver. In the kit, stock up on equipment: attachments for self-tapping screws and euroscrews, drills of different diameters;

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

• Jigsaw. Necessary for drilling an opening in the countertop for the hob;
• Measuring devices, you can get by with a tape measure and a pencil.

Assembling the cabinet for the oven

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

Illustration	Description
	Side walls are being prepared. It is best to order them ready-made, but you can cut the material yourself using a power saw or jigsaw.
	The side panels are being prepared: The guide fastening line is drawn, the height of its location depends on the height of the drawer; Holes are drilled along the line of the partition on which the oven will stand. It is located above the drawer.
	The guide is set, it is aligned with the outer end of the structure and the previously drawn line.
	The guide is fixed. For this purpose, self-tapping screws are used, which are located in holes specially designed for this purpose. There must be at least four fasteners per guide. Another guide is similarly mounted on the second wall.
	Preparing the bottom of the cabinet. 4 holes are drilled in it for confirmations, the distance from the front and back sides is 50-70 mm, the distance 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 slab.
	Legs are attached to the bottom side. Points are marked with an indentation of 5 cm from the edges, and the supports are attached there. They are screwed onto 3.5x16 mm screws.
	The bottom is placed on the edge, the side of the cabinet is aligned with it. Holes are pre-drilled in it using a confirmat drill.
	Side walls are screwed. To do this, European screws are inserted into the holes and tightened with a screwdriver so that the head becomes flush with the surface.
	A partition is inserted on which the oven will stand. It is screwed with confirmations from the sides.
	The cabinet is almost ready. All that remains is to assemble the box according to the size of the opening and attach the corresponding parts of the guides to it.
	The finished box is inserted into the opening. The cabinet is ready, you can move on to preparing the tabletop.

Preparing the countertop for the hob

The tabletop can be either separate or integral for the whole working area. The cabinet is placed, the tabletop is fixed on it and the following work is carried out:

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