new wall oven

[Gumby]

The time has come to chuck out the old wall oven and replace it with a decent one (Miele etc, not sure yet). The cavity for the old one is about 600 wide x 1030 high, which seems much larger than the modern ovens need. The Miele ovens for example only seem to be around 600 high. Width shouldn't be a problem but waht to do with the extra gaps above and below (assuming I mount it in the middle). Anybody been through this ?

Old oven pic attached.

We have a St. George double oven.
It is 1000mm high by 600mm wide.
Australian Made, 5 year warranty.
About $3890 inc but we got it for $3500 in Jan 2005.

If the new oven isn't as high you may be able to fit a microwave etc shelf above the oven

built in coffee machine?? smallest oven you canfind plus a panasonic inverter microwave (about the least height MW I know of)

The coffee machine is sitting on ther bench - wouldn't be without it. :) I can't drink instant any more, not after having one of those.

I like the micro idea, will look into it, thanks guys. And even the larger St George, could be a goer.

I'd cut some strips to fit exactly in the space, then use my Domino to fix them accurately in place. :D :D :D

Did this a few months ago. Replaced an old double oven with a single and a microwave niche.

I am going thru the same thing myself. Old oven spat the dummy, have replaced the oven which has left me with a nice big hole above. One of these days I'll get round to putting in a extra shelf to put the microwave on
