Since the separation of the cooker into two elements in the form of a hob and built-in oven in front of the owner, the question of the location of the oven is constantly raised. Each hostess wants to get not only a beautiful and cozy kitchen, but also create a comfortable ergonomic and safe option for work. Variants of the location of the oven appeared a lot and each option has its pros and cons.

Installing the oven above the countertop
The most widespread is the option of installing the oven above the countertop.
Such an installation is not unambiguous and this issue is constantly contested.
Last time they say that this has gone out of fashion, does not justify itself, it is not advisable, etc.
However, if you turn to the manufacturers for the first time to create a separate oven, and this was more than fifty years ago, manufacturers initially recommended a high placement of the oven.
The recommendations were based on the convenience of the oven, as the contents of the oven is in front of the mistress's eyes, this oven is much more convenient to wash.
The oven, located at a height is safe for children, since a small child can not touch and burn, especially opening a hot oven.
For the hostess it is easier to work with heavy dishes in the form of a large bird or a heavy pie, put in a closet and take it out of the oven all this much easier and safer.
If you decide to install the oven above the countertop, you need to decide what height to install the oven.
The height of the installation depends on the control panel of the oven.
The best option and the most optimal height is the location of the oven according to the principle:
The control panel should be above the man's belt (the hostess), but not above her eyes.
Installing the oven under the table top
Like all people, we are conservative and so many prefer to build an oven under the countertop of the kitchen set.
In this case, the oven is built in under the hob.
Although, I must say that this is not an axiom and it is necessary to have the oven in a place that is more convenient and practical.
If the kitchen is small, in such a kitchen, usually a shortage of working surfaces and the installation of an oven under the countertop is a logical solution.
In a small room, a high cabinet - a pencil box is not practical, since it additionally takes a part of the working surface and if you decide to install an oven in the pencil case, then you do not solve the problem of the shortage of the workplace.
Conversely, if you install the oven in a standard cabinet - you will have an additional working surface.
Kitchens made in classic, vintage and country style prefer to place the oven under the hob.
But, it should be noted that it is not the layout of the oven that matters, but the design itself.
A beautiful oven should not be hidden, as it will be appropriate everywhere.
Where better to install the oven
There are several options:
-in cupboard-pencil case (an excellent solution for a spacious large kitchen, you can consider the options in the photo);
-In the island (if a large kitchen has an island in the middle, it is perfectly possible to arrange an oven in such an island, but this option is suitable only for families where there are no small children.
-Installation in a stand-alone high cabinet.
This option has become quite widespread.
A high cabinet is attached to the side of the kitchen set and an oven is inserted into it.
This arrangement creates an additional surface, since this surface is quite high and can not be a working surface, but it can accommodate various kitchen accessories. This option of installing the oven is ideal for medium sized kitchens;
-Install the oven in a corner construction.
If you do not have a sink in the corner of the kitchen, then at this angle you can mount the oven to any height, under the countertop or above the countertop.
In the corner you can put the corner cabinet of the pencil case and make an oven assembly in it, and the sink is best moved to the window, thereby creating a highlight on your kitchen.
