Wall Oven Sizes & How to Measure

Cutout Dimensions?

In deciding which cabinet cutout you will need, it will be necessary to determine whether your appliances will be mounted proud or flush. The installation of some appliances cannot be flush. If your appliances can be installed flush, you will need a larger cutout than if you intend to mount them proud. However, you should always refer to the manufacturer's installation guide.

For most applications, the size of the opening or cutout needed for installation is critical. Single wall ovens, double wall ovens, or combination wall ovens and microwaves with varying capacities and dimensions are available.

Below are some typical dimensions found on wall oven cutouts:

What Are the Dimensions of My Current Wall Oven Cutout?

Step 1: Take out your existing wall oven
The wall oven you currently have should be removed from the cabinet cutout or wall to ensure precise measurements.

Step 2: Determine the cutout width
Use a measuring tape to determine the width of the cutout from edge to edge.

Step 3: Determine the cutout depth
To determine the depth of your wall oven cutout, measure from the wall to the front of the cabinet face, excluding the cabinet door. A typical cabinet depth is 24 inches. 

Step 4: Determine the cutout height
Take note of the distance between the top of the cutout opening and the bottom to determine the height of the cutout. This distance will differ greatly between a single wall oven and a double wall oven.

What Else Should I Know Before Purchasing a Wall Oven?

There are a number of things to consider when choosing the right oven after you determine the space you have. 

The range of features and styles can be tailored to meet your specific needs.

The capacity of the internal oven
In general, wall oven capacity is expressed in cubic feet.  
Typically, a larger wall oven means more cooking capacity, while a smaller oven means less internal cooking space. 

There are several possible capacities for single wall ovens:

• 24-inch wall ovens: May provide you with around 2-3 cubic feet of cooking space. 
• 27-inch wall ovens:  Generally pack a little more capacity with around 4 cubic feet inside. 
• 30-inch wall ovens: Usually offer capacities between 4.7 - 5.1 cubic feet. Alternatively, you can also find 30-inch models with reduced heights to offer just enough extra cooking space for 1-2 dishes at a time with around 1.7 cubic feet of capacity.

The capacity for double wall ovens is typically double what is noted above.  Combination oven capacity would generally be between a single and double oven capacity, and the microwave cavity generally is smaller than a wall oven.

The type of fuel
Your current set-up may dictate the fuel type you choose, so check before shopping for a new oven. You can find gas wall ovens or electric wall ovens in a variety of sizes.  

If both will work for your kitchen, take the time to learn the difference between electric and gas ovens so that you can choose the one that will best meet your needs for cooking.

Feature and setting options:
Features and settings vary by brand and model. Here are 3 key features from the Whirlpool brand.

True Convection Cooking
With convection cooking, you'll get evenly distributed heat. For example, the Whirlpool brand offers a third element and a fan to promote faster cooking by dispersing heat evenly over, under, and around food, so it's ready when you are (compared to a traditional thermal-bake cycle on the same model.)

Smart Features
Connected wall ovens enable smarter care. You can remotely preheat the oven from your smartphone while you're busy somewhere else. Alternatively, you can use your voice-enabled device to adjust the cooking time or temperature when your hands are full.* Always check and follow your appliance use and care instructions before beginning any task, as it should be your primary source of information.

*Appliance must be set to remote enable. WiFi & App Required. Features subject to change.
