Hi Folks,

I'm looking to replace my ageing built-in gas oven with a swish new electric
model but am not sure how the dimensions work within the existing carcass.
The dimensions of my current oven are 118.7cm x 59.5cm x 56.5cm (HxWxD)
which seems significantly larger than electric models that I've looked at.

I'm presuming that the height shouldn't be an issue as the base of the
cupboard above could be moved down if necessary(?); similarly (aside from
any clearance issues at the back) the depth probably isn't too restrictive
either but the width of the electric ovens are significantly narrower than
width of my current oven. This seems like a deal-breaker to me but is there
any way around this?

Changing the carcass isn't an option and if it helps the old oven is a Maxol
Majestic Duo.

Thanks....

My Indesit electric double oven is 59.5cm wide and fits just nicely into
the 60 cm carcass aperture the same as the previous Hotpoint model.

sounds like standard for fitting in a 600mm oven housing, you might have
to change the shelf/filler above it, but ought to be straightforward ...

It's a standard size to fitted 600mm wide units

The 595mm will refer to the width of the fascia at the front, they will
all be narrower behind the fascia to fit within the approx 600 minus
2x18mm interior of the housing ...

Well that's not embarrassing in the slightest.......

Thanks for all the replies everyone, not quite sure where I got that from.
I'll go back to sleep.
