30 inch Range top or 30 inch range + wall oven/ advantium
Comments (2)We entertain a lot and cook every night. When we remodeled we replaced the 30" cooktop and double wall oven with a 30" dual fuel range and 30" 240V Advantium wall oven. You will have to learn sequencing with the Advatium for multiple dishes, especially if you are going to use the microwave. The oven needs to cool down some before using the MW. We got a great deal on a GE Monogram Pro DF range and all of them are working perfectly....See More48 inch hood over 36 inch cooktop -- will it look bad?
Comments (13)Many kitchens today have a "mantle style" hood that comes down onto the counter, similar to gibbys you need a least 6" clearance both sides and a high CFM vent if you are using a commercial style cooktop For a 36" range or cooktop 48 is possibly ok you may want to go wider Check your appliance specs, and code allowances I think they look beautiful how practical is another story...See More30 inch induction cooktop over 24 inch wall oven
Comments (7)Also keep in mind that you are introducing a source of heat under the induction cooktop. Heat and electronics do not play well together. It is possible that you may shorten the life of the cooktop if you are not careful about the choice you make. This is probably why manufacturers insist upon using like products in this configuration. They may have ways to expel the heat with their own equipment. If I were designing something like this venting would be a priority in my remodel. It would probably involve small fans that had access to cool air to introduce into the cavity for the cooktop and possibly one to expel the warmer air. Preferably outside, however outside the cavity into the kitchen area is preferable than trying to cool with hot air. I believe keeping the electronics cool is key to a long useful life for appliances. Especially ones that produce heat....See More30 inch oven built in under 36 inch gas cooktop
Comments (10)You can’t violate the clearance to combustibles required by the manufacturer. Ranges have to have the doors and seals protrude, so as not to catch the adjacent cabinets on fire. There ARE a few ranges designed to more less be flush. Designed for looks. You give up power. There are trade offs to everything. You can’t have it all. Decide if you want a usable kitchen that you make pretty, or a pretty kitchen that you can‘t wok fry, only steam fry. And smoke up the house doing that. If you want a powerful cooking top, that’s a rangetop, or range. Not a cooktop. You can’t have it all. You have to accept tradeoffs. And that range needs to be against a wall. Not on an island. So that some of that cooking vapor has help to channel into the capture zone. You can’t have it all. You have to accept tradeoffs. With a powerful hood, and makeup air. And if you choose island cooking, a bigger and even more powerful hood, and more makeup air. You can’t have it all, you have to accept tradeoffs. Cooking is only 10% of kitchen activity. Prep is 70%. Cleanup is 20%. Islands are most valuable as large social prep spaces. Not hot, unsafe, and too small for prep, crowded cooking and prep zones. If you choose island cooking, there are ways to do it that are both functional and safe. They take more space and cost more than putting the cooking zone on the owe meter. You can’t have it all. You have to accept tradeoffs. For island cooking, that’s a lot of added expense added as a tradeoff to do it right....See Moresara_the_brit_z6_ct
