Wolf 36" L series wall oven under a 36" induction cooktop?
Comments (0)Does anyone have this oven? It looks like it is 3 or 4 inches shorter in height than the 30" wall oven. Since I can't find a 36" induction range, I am considering putting a 36" induction cooktop and this 36" wide Wolf oven underneath it. Would that work? I read that it is not good ergonomically to do this because the oven will be very low, but if this Wolf oven is shorter in height would that help a bit? As in it could be installed a few inches higher off the floor than the 30" one? If I could get a 36" induction range I would not have to consider this alternative. I could do a 36" duel fuel range instead, but I wanted to change to induction over gas. Related to this question - are any companies making/going to make a 36" induction range? I really need the extra room on the cooktop part....See MoreHas anyone installed an oven under an induction cooktop?
Comments (22)We're in the process of putting in a new kitchen. We had everything all design and just couldn't wait until we see the end result. However, the other day i was at Siemens' showroom and the salesperson strong do not recommend having an oven of any brand built under an induction cooktop. She said that since induction hobs ventilate heat through the fans installed at the bottom of them, putting one over and over will cause malfunctions to both the oven and the hob. And if any customer insist to have a Siemens oven installed under any induction hob, the product guarantee will not be available for going against Siemens' recommendation. I am just so disappointed because we have limited kitchen space and I don't know where else I should put an oven. Anyways, come to think of it, maybe this is the reason for how many of my friends have either a hob or an oven, or in some case, both, turned dead and not usable. Hope this helps! I'd just found your post. Hope it's not to late....See MoreMiele Convection Steam Oven Venting under the cabinet installation?
Comments (13)> Hi- so are you saying venting isn't needed? I don't see anyone say that, and if they did I'll disagree. However if not vented I doubt your oven will have a catastrophic failure now or even many years from now. > im kind of panicking… Suggest you do two things to address the panic. 1- Ask whoever designed and built your kitchen if he/she followed the install specifications, specifically the rear ventilation specs. Send a copy of the spec pages from the install/operating document if you think there's any chance they are brushing you off, as in "yea, yea, yea, we followed the specs, now don't bother us anymore...", and also so you have a record. And 2- Call into Miele tech support (not the new customer design support) and ask if lack of venting per the specs will be a problem. In all likelihood miele tech support will say you shouldn't do that, but at least you will know the answer now and not five or ten years from now when your builder, contractor or kitchen designer is retired or no longer in business. P.S: If your kitchen was designed by a professional and you find out they did not follow the specs then clearly that's a problem and you need to ask why not. Then ask yourself what your agreement was with said design professional, did you sign a contract or was it verbal, is design pro licensed and certified, etc. Getting something designed, installed and built correctly -- to manufacturer specs -- is the key (to long life, to warranty coverage, to failures), whether you are talking simple drywall, common plumbing fixtures, regular old concrete, etc., ... or multi-thousand dollar hi-tech ovens....See MoreWolf Convection Steam Oven or Wolf Speed Oven???
Comments (20)I just got the wolf speed oven and so far so good. I just did a partial kitchen remodel and got the 36 inch all gas wolf so wanted a smaller electric oven for a 2nd oven or for smaller meals. I also was happy to ditch my countertop microwave. I had space in my cabinets to put the 24" oven in without a lot of carpentry needed. The24" seems to be the same interior size as the 30" model, only the outer casing is different. At first I was a bit thrown off by the fact that the microwave turntable turns even when using convection mode but I've found that with the low riser its great for cakes and pies. They rotate as they cook very evenly. I haven't tried any of the microbake or microroast settings yet and the "gourmet" modes seem sort of silly, mostly just plain microwave....See Morephilwojo99
