36" Bosch induction cooktop, which wall oven will work?
Comments (1)Can't help you with another brand, but I know from my own research hat both the Bosch 500 and 800 will work. Just read another thread where we 500 oven users discussed our experiences, and all were overwhelmingly positive. It is actually one of the larger interior 30" mainstream wall ovens out there. For a small up charge, you can get a gliding rack and (I think) still be under the 800 price. Still, if you don't like the looks of it, perhaps the 800 series would suit your needs without breaking the bank. I found that manufactures by and large do not test compatibility with other brands, so although mixing and matching may work, you may be taking a risk from a warranty perspective. In the end, we went with all Bosch and have been happy, but of course, ymmv....See More36" Bosch induction cooktop, which wall oven will work?
Comments (1)I believe the clearance under the cooktop will be primarily cooktop dependent, not oven dependent? You will get much better responses on such a technical topic over at the Appliance Forum. They know everything. Good luck....See MoreMiele induction cooktop above Gaggenau wall oven
Comments (7)You may have run into the CYA factor. Normally, to get approval from such as UL, various tests have to be run. A stand-alone unit only needs to be tested by itself, but if a manufacturer wants to approve combinations, then they have to show that the combinations are safe. No manufacturer is likely to expend the effort proving competitors products will work with their unit. Hence, if a Miele oven is approved to go under a Miele cooktop, it is because they determined its safety. One expects similarity of process for Gagganau units. (In that case, sibling products such as Thermador and Bosch may be approved.) Beyond safety, there are also lifetime reliability issues that relate mainly to heat. In fairness to the cooktop manufacturers, they have no control over how other manufacturers ovens are thermally insulated or even if the insulation on units made today is the same as on units made yesterday. There would have to be an industry-wide standardization agreement. (Waiting for you, ANSI.) In my view, if room permitted, meeting the gap requirement for an underneath air space, below which there was added and effective insulation above the desired wall oven, might be safe for both units. (One needs to know how the induction unit actually cools itself to decide whether any particular gap is going to be sufficient. Gap access to external air may be needed, possibly forced air.) The enemy of electronics is heat, and other than the ceram top, electronics is what constitutes most of an induction cooktop. kas...See MoreWolf 36 inch induction cooktop over wall oven
Comments (6)We replaced a Fisher Paykel gas cooktop with a 36" Wolf induction. It sits over a Kitchenaid wall oven. It was the only brand that would fit because it has the shallowest profile. That being said, we tend to use the second wall oven much more because it is easier to access. The 36" over the 30" oven looks fine however....See Moreskit19
