    Default new wall oven

    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.
    If at first you don't succeed, give something else a go. Life is far too short to waste time trying.

    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 you find a post of mine that is missing a pic that you'd like to see, let me know & I'll see if I can find a copy.

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

    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.

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

    Pic 1: Old oven (vntage 1970s look)

    Pic 2: New configuration.

    Sorry about the flash reflection. Can get better ones later.
    Cheers,

    Bob

    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
