On average, you can expect your electric oven to last 13 years, these days, and your gas oven to last 15. But, like anything else, the more you use it, the quicker it will wear out.
Electric Oven Safety Considerations: From a safety concern regarding the high temperatures that an oven can reach, the exterior sides of ovens do not generate excessive heat. The exteriors generated heat of about 93 Celsius (200 degrees Fahrenheit), which is relatively low in comparison to the interior of the oven.
Standard kitchen ranges are typically around 30″ wide, but a wall oven of the same size needs a 33″ wide cabinet.
The rule of thumb from installation guides is that the cabinet space should be three inches wider than the oven. Measure height and width as well as depth of the oven and leave three extra inches in all directions.
Summing up, all ovens need to be vented. Since 2007, almost all manufacturers have designed their electric ovens to have a venting system inside. However, it is best to have some sort of venting system in the kitchen to remove the hot air, pollutants, smoke, grease, and odors from the kitchen air.
The standard oven capacity of a range oven is roughly 5 cubic feet while a standard wall oven tends to be smaller around 3 cubic feet. If you usually cook for just one or two, an oven of 3 cubic feet should be fine.
Most standard stoves are 30 inches wide, around 2527 inches deep (excluding handles and knobs) and 36 inches tall (excluding control panels). These standard stove sizes are designed to fit standard cabinet cutouts that are 34-1/4 inches wide, 24 inches deep and 36 inches tall.
Adequate ventilation, especially if the microwave is built into a wall of cabinetry, is a must.
If you are installing one oven, install it so that the oven’s interior floor is level with the countertop to make removal of baking trays and roasting pans easy. Home Depot recommends the height should be 31-inches above the kitchen floor for an average-sized user.
No, convection ovens do not require ventilation because they use a fan to circulate the air inside the oven to help food cook faster and more evenly. As long as your new oven is installed with the correct clearance recommended by the manufacturer, no extra venting is needed.
Guidelines recommend 15 of space on either one or both sides of an oven, or if the oven is in a tall cabinet and this is not possible, to have 15 of landing space no more than 48 in front of the oven as long as it does not open into the main walkway. Below is an application of this guideline in a wall oven space.
