Compare oven layouts and cooktop types before deciding on a model. The right combination should suit your cookware, kitchen space and installation requirements.
Built-in oven or freestanding cooker?
A built-in oven lets you plan the oven and cooktop positions separately. A freestanding cooker combines both in one unit. Compare available width, oven capacity and the way the appliance meets surrounding cabinetry.
Choose oven functions for everyday use
Compare cooking modes, controls, shelf positions and supplied accessories rather than choosing on the number of functions alone. If you want a specific cleaning function, confirm it is listed for the model. Cleaning systems and removable components differ between ovens.
Gas, induction and ceramic cooktops
| Type | What to consider |
|---|---|
| Gas | Burner layout, pan supports, compatible gas supply and installation requirements. |
| Induction | Induction-compatible cookware, zone sizes, controls and the specified electrical connection. |
| Ceramic | Heating-zone layout, controls, surface care and the specified electrical connection. |
Check burner and zone layouts
Look at the full product image and model specifications together. Count the burners or zones, compare their sizes and consider whether your pans can be used comfortably side by side. Wok burners and flexible induction zones are model-specific features.
Use the exact installation diagram
Check the cut-out width and depth, appliance height, ventilation and clearances from adjoining surfaces. Do not cut the benchtop using a generic size description. Have a suitably qualified installer confirm the final measurements and connections.
Keep the model details together
Save the chosen model codes, finish and technical documents for your cabinetmaker and installer. A technical sheet summarises the product; the installation manual provides the instructions to follow.
