Built-In Oven Replacement

[Endulini]

Hi Folks,

I'm looking to replace my ageing built-in gas oven with a swish new electric model but am not sure how the dimensions work within the existing carcass. The dimensions of my current oven are 118.7cm x 59.5cm x 56.5cm (HxWxD) which seems significantly larger than electric models that I've looked at.

I'm presuming that the height shouldn't be an issue as the base of the cupboard above could be moved down if necessary(?); similarly (aside from any clearance issues at the back) the depth probably isn't too restrictive either but the width of the electric ovens are significantly narrower than width of my current oven. This seems like a deal-breaker to me but is there any way around this?

Changing the carcass isn't an option and if it helps the old oven is a Maxol Majestic Duo.

Thanks....

My Indesit electric double oven is 59.5cm wide and fits just nicely into the 60 cm carcass aperture the same as the previous Hotpoint model.

sounds like standard for fitting in a 600mm oven housing, you might have to change the shelf/filler above it, but ought to be straightforward ...

Just enough room for the odd spider then, perfect! Brian
