Help! Tower unit for oven - question!

6 replies

Putting together some Ikea flatpack this weekend for our kitchen. We are having two ovens, one above the other, in a tower unit. This requires modification of the Ikea cupboards, which come with fittings for one oven (however, the store say it's absolutely fine to fit too, and adjusted the order accordingly themselves).

I note that the backboard has a 60cm cutout, presumably to allow heat from the oven to escape. It seems logical to me that I need to create a second cutout for the second oven, but DH is skeptical about this! Please help!

Have you looked online on YouTube or for IKEA 'hacks'? If you can remember the name of the member of staff who modified the order, can they clarify?

you will need to have a second cut out for the other oven for rhe same reason as the 1st oven.

DH is wrong you need to cut more out!

you should consult the fitting instructions for the ovens if they are not new you may be able to download but yes need cutouts behind ovens or no back in that area. also make sure air can travel all way up back and not trapped by shelf
