So your induction range will require some electrical to be done and as for the rest you really have been living with the same idea just 2 separate items so the oven underneath should not be an issue. The big thing will be your cookware it is very specific for induction and can be quite an expense if yours don’t work. As far as changes to cabinets that will have to addressed once you find a range you like. I would suggest you go to a good appliance shop and talk to someone about pros and cons of induction.

2nd to the last paragraph, please.

"4. Any other important issues that I should consider?"

Please think comprehensively. Go big picture here, especially since you're replacing your tops. Is your layout working?

Whether your induction range will require an electrical adjustment will depend on your current wiring and (probably) the age of your place. I was able to plug in my induction range without issue, but my building is less than 20 years old. If you've got a 50 year old building with similarly aged wiring, it might be a different situation.....You can get the electrical requirements of the range you want quite easily, on line.

You will need cookware that can hold a magnet in order for induction to work......but that doesn't necessarily mean you need NEW cookware. It depends on what you've got now, but it's easy to test - literally see if a magnet will hold firmly to the base. Even if you do need cookware, it needn't be expensive stuff (but it won't be the dirt cheap stuff either). I replaced about half of my previous cookware complement at the cost of about $300, but I know I could have bought the same sizes (and induction compatible) at about a half that if I'd wanted to.....as induction stoves become more popular, they are getting cheaper and so is induction-compatible cookware.

I think induction is the best technology for a stovetop, without a doubt, and orders of magnitude better than a traditional electric stove. There is a very slight learning curve (especially for making popcorn) that I was happy to undertake.

Chances are that the oven and cooktop do not use plugs but are hard-wired. They are also probably on separate circuits, neither of which will be large enough do supply a range.

Installing a receptacle will not be difficult. But the wire size needs to be checked.

Your wall oven is currently housed in a cabinet and the cooktop is mounted in the counter, so the counter will have to be altered and the cabinet will have to be removed and at a minimum, you need 30" from one side cabinet to the other. Do you have that?

I do agree that this will be a bigger job than you might imagine and to be honest the stove next to the DW is not really ideal but without seeing the space hard to tell anything else.

Can you take a picture further back? Since you are replacing the top that exposes all the base cabinets - you may have to move them to make the stove fit ( as pointed out already you need a support next to the dishwasher now ) ..... can you relocated the dishwasher??

maybe you can upgrade your current cooktop and range without changing your footprint. I love your flooring and your cabinet hardware. What color are those cabinets? You don't say what material countertop you want. Look up your cooktop/ oven make and model and see what is used to plug it in. Then you will know if you need to change outlets.

"Regarding your question, the existing wall oven is 30” wide."

In that case, pulling the existing, altering the cabinets and countertops, and installing a slide-in won't be too big a deal.

The problem I'd like an answer for is supporting the front corner of your new counter over the dw. A slide-in breaks the counter on each side. And are you changing the dw and micro? Do you have any ventilation.

dan1888:

She said the existing oven was 30" wide. That means the cabinet sides of the existing oven are staying in place, supporting the countertop at the dishwasher.

30” is the exterior measurement at the face of the oven. Not it’s body. That cavity cutout is gonna be more 27 1/2” or so. You don’t fit something whose body is 30” into a 27” w space.

Well the Bosch Benchmark here that I'd suggest is 31-1/2" wide overall Installation manual because of the ears at the top front but requires a 30" space. So it fits. Maybe it would be possible to go with a 2" smaller sink base cab if you can reconcile the doors to the smaller cab. I'd suggest a Bosch or Miele dw with 3rd rack.

"The range requires a minimum of a three-wire 120/240 or 120/208 volt, 40 - 50 amp, 60 Hz AC circuit." Your existing setup may have that although your current code may want a 4 wire.

A slide-in range sits on the floor, it doesn't need countertop support at either side, right?

I have a GE double electric slide in range, the width of the stove is 29 3/4, I just measured it since it's sitting in the middle of my kitchen waiting to be slid into it's spot. It's not an induction range, however I imagine most ranges are slightly under 30 inches wide to fit into those 30 inch openings. We have no fillers on either side of it, it will be between two 18 inch cabinets. LOVE my double ovens. The gas double range is cheaper but I don't have gas here.

What’s wrong with what you have? The impetus behind wanting to change needs to be examined first. Because those cabinets look good, you can tell that they are far from new. It might b best to plan the complete redo all at once. Because doing half of one just to get prettier appliances and then having that make those old cabinets look shabby is not a wise investment.
