Removing and fitting a built in or integrated oven from a kitchen unit



Often you will need to remove the oven from the kitchen unit fortunately this is not is hard as you my initially imagine, usually there are 2/4 mounting screw on the outside lip edge of the oven , screwing directly into the unit carcases. 

It my be wise to isolate the power from the oven before removing just in case these wires are loose at the rear of the oven its happened to me  few times.

Remove the 2 or 4 screws usually Philips or Posidrive.





The oven should be able to slide freely now forwards, the electrical wiring cable at the rear of oven should if you are lucky be long enough to remove the oven from the kitchen unit.

Beware of the weight of oven they can be very heavy and can tilt forward when slid out to  certain point so beware of this when removing.

To refit , make sure any work done is complete and tested , make sure wires are secure and then slide oven back into position. Now re-screw the retaining screws into the kitchen unit if these re worn you can use wood filler or wood glue to help .
