Do you need oven cabinet wall ends?

[Shelley62]

We are in the process of putting together the cabinets on a whole kitchen install. The oven cabinet install steps talk about wall end panels that need to be attached to the cabinet to hold the heat deflectors on. The end panels have not been included in our kitchen design, can we continue installing the cabinets without them?

Hello @Shelley62 

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

Yes, you can install the heat deflectors even if your design did not incorporate base end panels. The deflectors can be screwed onto the wall of the cabinet next to the oven cabinet. My best advice is to mark the surface and pre-drill the heat deflectors; triple check its position so that it does not end up being to proud or too deep of the cabinet front.

If you need further assistance, please let us know.
