Can Samsung oven and cooktop be installed in Kaboodle oven carcass?

DIYnewie

Purchased the Kaboodle Oven carcass and need to know if the following appliances can be installed above each other with the setup mentioned below, having issues figuring this out (Have not purchased the appliances yet). Cannot figure out the clearance required between the wall on the left and cabinet on the right either!

The oven Carcass is against a wall (left) and against a tall Kaboodle cupboard (right). So sandwiched between both.

The appliances: Samsung 60cm Built-In Oven and Samsung 60cm induction. Dimensions for both below.

Also I can't figure out if they need a thermal barrier? between the cooktop and oven.

Electrician will be doing the installation/wiring but it is up to me to purchase the appliances so need to ensure they will fit! ANY help appreciated!

Hello @DIYnewie

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us and thanks for sharing your question about your kitchen revamp.

The general size of a Kaboodle benchtop is 600mm x 2400mm. The Samsung cooktop appliance has a maximum cut out of 561mm w X 481mm d which easily fits into the measurements of the benchtop while fulfilling the required gaps for your cooktop which is 55mm at the back and 50mm at the front. Please note that the top front supporting panel of the oven cabinet will need to be installed with the wide section to the front and not facing up. Yes, the cooktop will fit in the benchtop.

For your oven cabinet, The Samsung oven requires a depth of 550mm the 21mm face will not be entering the space of the cabinet. The cabinet has a maximum depth of 560mm so there is enough depth space for the oven to fit in. The actual body of the oven is 560mm wide and the cabinet space is 568mm, therefore a gap of 4mm on each side will be provided. The height of the oven body is 579mm and the cabinet space is 688mm. Please note that the oven cabinet comes with risers for ventilation, even if the risers are at 70mm in height you'll still have enough room for the oven to fit height wise. Yes, the oven will fit in the oven cabinet.

However, a word of caution, please make sure to read your oven manual to determine if the appliance requires minimum airgaps to the sides and back. If it does and the cabinet does not meet those requirements, it will be necessary for you to have a custom-made oven cabinet built. A thermal barrier is not required to go between the oven and cooktop. Please note that your cooktop must have a minimum side clearance of 300mm for both sides. It is not advisable to have the cooktop right next to a wall or a tall cabinet.
