Combination ovens

[@mudoh2131]

This channel is fabulous. My kitchen designed in visiting in 4 days. I am binge watching and learning so much! Thank you.

[@TheKitchenDesignExperts]

Wow, that’s amazing. Really pleased you think that way. Thanks very much for your comment.

[@HarryLevinson]

Thank you! After a couple of years researching for our kitchen, this is the first time I ever heard of or considered this problem.

[@TheKitchenDesignExperts]

I only realised after I fit a combi for a client who was under 5ft tall. I never made that mistake again

[@theosbournes7485]

Great info thank you!

[@TheKitchenDesignExperts]

No problem, glad it helps

[@chanatelley]

Thank you for this, it’s an issue I hadn’t even considered!

[@TheKitchenDesignExperts]

I’m pleased we’ve helped. Really a competent designer should point these things out but, like you, they generally don’t even consider it.

[@stedee1255]

Great set of videos, I’m also looking for the correct height for wall cupboards have you covered this on a previous video. Many thanks.

THANK YOU I almost made the mistake of mounting our new oven too high for my 5’2” frame!

[@TheKitchenDesignExperts]

Hi Renee, pleased to be of assistance

[@deniseracine6788]

Great points and advice

[@TheKitchenDesignExperts]

Forewarned is forearmed. Thank you very much for your comment

[@Luv_2P]

The arm length thing is sooo tedious, only cos more than 1 person will b using it n when parties etc are to be had everyone will b using the combo oven. Is there an alternative? Perhaps the designer of these ovens can create a door that opens then half slides down once u push it. Makes sense lol. Thanks ur awesome🌞

[@TheKitchenDesignExperts]

I’m sure somebody will come up with your suggestion. Thanks for getting touch

Great subject and info!!!

[@TheKitchenDesignExperts]

It is a very interesting area and is evolving constantly. Pleased you found it usefull

[@poonumpatel8236]

Thanks for this! Would you recommend putting a slide and hide oven at the top and the combi oven underneath?

[@TheKitchenDesignExperts]

Hi, I would like to double check to be sure but I have always been told that I shouldn’t design a combi under an oven. Something to do with the oven needing to draw cool air in and the hot air from combi could damage it. That was the advice from a couple of years ago. Could be worth checking with the manufacturers before you consider doing this.

[@JamesZoe-dk2yo]

Why does moving the thin drawer to above the ovens mean it can't be a drawer? (you said it means a loss of storage space)

[@TheKitchenDesignExperts]

Hi. Usually you can’t have. Drawer above the oven as it too high to see into it. If, though , you are having a custom made kitchen then the top cupboard will be made bigger so no space is lost Thanks for the comment

[@jbuller]

Right yes but that's more "problematic" than "can't". Thanks

[@nunyabisyness5448]

Why does the microwave have to be on top ? I like the microwave underneath the oven

[@TheKitchenDesignExperts]

Hi, i’, going off old knowledge but I once fitted a combi underneath an oven and we had a problem with the oven , the service guy said it was because the heat from the combi vent was damaging the oven above. Since then I have always put them on top. It may just have been that one guy looking for excuses but I would always check the installation guides if I were you

[@jhill74893]

why dont you get ovens in which the doors open and slide under the microwave

[@TheKitchenDesignExperts]

You will mean like the Neff slide and hide oven. It’s because of the nature of a microwave door. It is a lot thicker than a typical oven door so the space you would have to leave for it is too much. Maybe as technology improves it will get thinner and be able to roll,under. Thanks for the comment

[@jhill74893]

@@TheKitchenDesignExperts thanks for the explanation, something else learned

[@Wombles_Wanderings]

I was told that the crumbs and general food scraps get caught in the slide, and can stop it sliding.

[@PJ-vc5qi]

Do you need to take the metal sides and shelf out of these before using as microwaves?

[@TheKitchenDesignExperts]

No the wire shelf and metal sides can stay in for all forms of cooking. The solid baking /universal tray should be taken out when using any of microwave functions. That applies to the machines we sell, but always check with your user manual first

[@PJ-vc5qi]

@@TheKitchenDesignExperts thank you. I am thinking about having an oven microwave combination and no microwave in my new kitchen as space is limited.

[@revanslacey]

5:54 Is this because some people have a particularly long head & neck?

[@TheKitchenDesignExperts]

I think it’s got more to do with leg and body length
