Kitchen manufacturers offer customers ready-made furniture options for built-in appliances. The main difficulty lies in the fact that the dimensions for embedding coincide with the actual dimensions of the furniture. That is, you will have to act from the opposite - choose an oven for certain parameters, or adjust the furniture during installation.

Remember, the control panel must be above the level of the belt, and the installation height of the oven must not exceed the level of your eyes, otherwise the operation of the appliance during cooking will not be comfortable.

A single style and competent layout allows this kitchen to look organic, despite the high module for appliances and the variety of colors in the headset area. A refrigerator and a pencil case close the furniture on both sides, forming a complete image in the kitchen design.

Popular in the past, kitchen cabinets disappeared from our kitchens for some time, a boring narrow cabinet did not add variety to the kitchen set, people began to give preference to wall cabinets, floor cabinets. But everything changes, the design idea does not stand still, the modern cabinet for the kitchen has undergone some modifications, obeying the requirements of fashion trends, it looks much more interesting than its predecessor, and its content is functional. The kitchen is far from the largest room in the house, you need to store various kitchen utensils somewhere, and you need to allocate space for gatherings with friends. Pencil cabinets perfectly cope with the task of saving space, allow you to store dishes and all kinds of kitchen utensils.

Traditionally, a pencil case is a narrow piece of furniture in the form of a high column; it can be made as a separate module or be part of a common kitchen set. Despite its small size and quite compact placement in the kitchen, its purpose is quite extensive, the pencil case copes with its standard functions perfectly. Its possibilities are unlimited, here you can easily place:

• crockery, kitchen utensils - a large number of shelves allow you to store tableware, tea sets on them, which the owners rarely use in everyday life;
• household accessories, textiles (sanitary cleaners, detergents, tablecloths, napkins, towels);
• large appliances (dishwasher, washing machine) - in the lower section of the cabinet, which is closed by an outer panel;
• an oven built into a niche at a level of 1-1.5 m from the floor, while using it for cooking is very comfortable;
• microwave oven - in an open niche (there are models of canisters provided for a built-in microwave);
• small household appliances - a toaster, a slow cooker, a coffee maker, etc.;
• jars with spices, bulk products will find their place on the upper shelves, and bottles with conservation are conveniently placed in the lower compartment, often the owners prefer to equip the pencil case with roll-out niches for storing bottles of wine;
• if you partially remove the back wall of the cabinet, you can hide pipes, counters, high dimensions of the pencil case there, its sufficient depth makes it possible to hide the unsightly elements of the kitchen.

Sometimes a couple of upper compartments for decor items are left free in pencil cases, the rest of the interior space is intended for a refrigerator, thus hiding it from prying eyes, while maintaining the overall concept of the kitchen interior. Taking up little space, pencil cases fit favorably into the interior of any kitchen space, and due to their spaciousness, functionality and ergonomics, they remain popular pieces of furniture.

A cabinet made to order according to individual sizes can occupy any empty niche in the room, complement the existing set, with its help it is easy to divide the space into zones (working and resting place). If the pencil case is purchased separately from the kitchen set, it should correspond as much as possible to the style and color scheme in which the rest of the furniture is designed.

Varieties

So that the housewives do not have problems with storing a large number of dishes, kitchen utensils, the designers have developed a variety of pencil cases that make it possible to compactly place the dishes and utensils available in the house, plus to find a place to store appliances, without which it is already impossible to imagine a modern kitchen. It is enough to choose one of the proposed models from the photo in the catalogs in accordance with the needs, wishes of the owners, the house will immediately be filled with new colors and flavor. There are several types of pencil cases:

• narrow cabinet "column";
• angular;
• retractable;
• for embedded technology.

retractable

For embedded technology

The most popular and in demand is the kitchen pencil case column. Advantages - it is very roomy due to the small width of the product, the presence of many shelves inside, which allows you to store necessary and useful things. The pencil case can be open, closed, according to the number of doors - single-leaf, double-leaf, can be equipped with lower sliding shelves or with drawers, which greatly simplifies the storage of non-perishable products. A classic floor-standing cabinet with a blank front allows you to fill the cabinet to the maximum, while at the same time hiding its contents.

Furniture manufacturers offer the buyer columns with glazed facades in whole or in part, stained-glass doors, sliding, with decorative inserts, which adds elegance and lightness to an ordinary piece of furniture.

Models with open shelves at the top or in the middle, where decor items can be placed, and closed at the bottom, so that the items there are not on display, are popular. There are completely open designs, they can rather be called shelving than cabinets. It is convenient to decorate such furniture with vases, figurines, textiles, jars with spices, bulk products, designed in the same style, look very nice there, beautiful dishes will also please the eyes of guests and hosts.

A super idea for a small kitchen would be a corner cabinet. Such a modular design helps to create a beautiful, comfortable interior, while it has its advantages:

• harmoniously smoothes sharp corners, freeing up the space of the room;
• has a greater depth than a conventional pencil case;
• may consist of several modules (for storage, built-in appliances, refrigerator) - in this case, filling the corner zone allows you to use every centimeter of the kitchen space to good use.

It is necessary to adhere to the golden rule of harmonious combination of all elements of furniture, connecting a narrow cabinet with other items, so that the whole set looks like a single set. A retractable (roll-out) pencil case is a kind of storage system that moves out of the general furniture range thanks to special devices and mechanisms. In such cases, baskets and shelves are attached, where it is convenient to store:

• dry and liquid seasonings in special containers;
• small kitchen utensils;
• means for cleaning and disinfecting surfaces.

You will definitely like the idea with a pull-out module if, after designing the kitchen set, a narrow opening remains, and no other cabinet fits there. Another type of canister cabinets is for built-in appliances. You can place an oven, microwave, food processor or coffee machine in a high module, install a hob nearby, so all cooking will be concentrated in one place. In modern kitchen sets, the refrigerator is also discreetly hidden behind the facade of a tall pencil case. The kitchen can be equipped with a whole block of several high cupboards.

Materials for manufacturing

As for any kitchen furniture, the materials used in the manufacture of canisters must be of high quality, resistant to moisture and mechanical damage. Experts strongly recommend that when buying or ordering furniture, pay close attention to the materials from which it is made, door opening mechanisms, and the choice of fittings; usually, stores always have catalogs with the necessary photos. Used in production:

• natural wood is an expensive, reliable material, the quality is excellent, but it requires constant care;
• MDF - in quality it is almost as good as wood models, much cheaper and easier to use, with good care it will last a long time, it looks great on frontal surfaces;
• Chipboard - almost does not differ from the previous version, also budgetary in terms of costs;
• plastic is not the best material for the kitchen, it is not durable;
• metal - used to decorate furniture in a certain style.

Wooden

Metal

To finish the facades, painting, polishing, laminating with thermal film are used, which adds strength to the product. Modern designers have increasingly recently begun to use glass doors in the decoration of cabinets, they look aesthetically pleasing, original and very beautiful. Especially the upper parts of the pencil cases, where the dishes are displayed. To create a bold, unusual interior, glass of different shades is used. Various slats, handles are used for decoration, the “retro” style involves “artificial aging” - a special technology for processing facades.

When choosing furniture, pay attention to the quality of materials and fittings, there should be no chips or scratches on the items, doors should open easily, and drawers and shelves should slide out effortlessly.

The form

The classic pencil case for the kitchen looks tall and narrow, but there are no clear size requirements. The footage and layout of kitchens are different for everyone, so choosing a cabinet as a separate module is quite difficult. It is either already included in the kitchen set, or made to order according to individual parameters. When choosing an item according to the proposed photos in magazines, you need to clearly, up to a centimeter, know all the dimensions and parameters of your kitchen and the existing set, the height, depth of the pencil case must match the dimensions of the rest of the furniture.

The shape of the cabinets is quite monotonous (rectangular), although there are very original and creative models. For example, a corner pencil case of a semicircular shape is quite unusual and unusual for an ordinary man in the street (in our vision, a narrow and long cabinet with many shelves has long been rooted). Therefore, bold forms cause distrust and admiration among different people. The beveled edges of the column cabinets will smooth out their rough shapes. The inner part should be as spacious as possible, the number of things and objects that fit there depends on it. An excellent option would be to install two identical modules for mounting appliances: one for the built-in oven, the other for the refrigerator and spacious shelves covered with facades.

The option of manufacturing custom-made kitchen furniture is the most popular among consumers. Here there is a place where fantasies can roam, determine the desired dimensions, the shape of each item, their installation locations, additional elements, you can even specify and order decor items. In this case, your kitchen with a pencil case will look exclusively to the envy of friends and acquaintances.

The pencil case should not be installed in the middle between the wall cabinets, the geometry of the headset is violated. It is best to place on both sides or on one side along the edges, since they will be equal to the top edge of the remaining suspension modules.

Selection rules

When ordering or buying cabinets, it is necessary to take into account their intended purpose, whether household appliances will be mounted in them or only a lightweight option is expected - for storing dishes, various household trifles. Photos of kitchen cabinets of pencil cases of various designs, types, design developments can be seen in the catalogs of furniture stores. Several selection rules:

• the height of the cabinet must correspond to the height of the entire set of furniture as a whole;
• the depth of the column is not less than the depth of the other cabinets (preferably the same);
• High-quality material will guarantee a long service life of the product.

Manufacturers have recently delighted the buyer with interesting design developments. In production, glass door elements on the facades of kitchen units are increasingly being used. Choose the most ergonomic option, with a niche for installing, if not large, then at least small household appliances, because progress does not stand still, more and more various kitchen appliances are being offered to help housewives, and it is difficult to place all this in our small-sized kitchens .

An interesting new idea is the rational organization of the workspace, when high cabinets are not offered as separate modules, but are boldly integrated into the entire wall of the kitchen. All the insides of the cabinets are hidden behind a blank facade, which looks like a single wall, and the internal compartments are quite spacious: there is where to put household appliances, place all available utensils, household items. The design turns out to be roomy and inconspicuous, you can decorate this “wall” at your discretion, in different colors. A pencil case kitchen cabinet is a very convenient, useful piece of furniture in any kitchen, even a very small one, when the area does not allow increasing the number of headset modules, the pencil case is quite capable of solving this problem.

Drawing of a pencil case with the dimensions of the facades.

For reliable installation of the kitchen cabinet, we recommend using 6 supports, instead of 4, as on other modules. In this section, it is planned to install a drawer on full extension telescopic rails.

The red line next to the size number indicates the edge. This means that this end of the part is front (visible) and it must be lined with a furniture edge. If there are two lines, then this means that both ends of the part of the corresponding size are pasted over with an edge.

In the given detailing of the kitchen section (module), the dimensions are indicated without taking into account the thickness of the edge.

The thickness of furniture edges up to 0.6 mm thick does not need to be taken into account in the size of the part . The part size will need to be reduced by the appropriate edge thickness if the edge, for example ABS, is to be 1 or 2 mm thick. For example: part width 400 mm, edge thickness 2 mm. it is necessary to paste over both ends of the part. Then the width dimension of the part must be adjusted to the thickness of the edge. Those. get 400 - 2 mm. - 2 mm. = 396 mm.

Pencil case for the kitchen under the oven. Assembly scheme.

In traditional kitchen ovens, the oven is combined with the hob. But not all housewives are satisfied with this option for organizing the workspace. To make the cooking process as convenient as possible, and the interior of the kitchen - stylish and compact, they use special furniture for embedding ovens.

Features and benefits of a kitchen with a built-in oven

An oven cabinet is a design designed to install an oven in it. It can either be part of a furniture set or purchased separately.

The advantages of a kitchen interior with a built-in oven include:

• visual appeal - such an interior looks much more elegant than a kitchen with a conventional oven;
• saving usable space;
• the ability to organize a “working triangle” (cooking area) in a way that is convenient for the owners of the house;
• practicality - such furniture often combines several functions at once. For example, it can serve as a storage system.

But such a solution has some features that must be considered when choosing:

• the cost of built-in appliances complete with furniture is higher than traditional;
• in the event of a rearrangement or failure of equipment, problems may arise: the oven will have to be changed along with the cabinet, since it will be difficult to find a design that is suitable in size - usually furniture is selected for the equipment, and not vice versa.

Types of designs of kitchen cabinets for built-in ovens

For embedding appliances, two types of furniture are used:

• floor cabinets;
• cupboards.

The cabinet for the built-in oven allows you to place it at a height of no more than 20 cm from the floor. For most housewives, this is a familiar option.

An oven case involves placing appliances on one of its shelves and has the following advantages:

• allows you to set the oven at the optimum height;
• makes it possible to make it inaccessible to small children;
• perfect for people who have a hard time bending over.

Pencil cases are not suitable for cramped kitchens - they look too bulky there. In this case, it is better to choose a floor cabinet higher.

Depending on the shape, the furniture for the oven can be:

• straight - in the form of a rectangle. Typically, such designs are part of the furniture composition of the headset;
• corner - are made in the form of triangles or trapezoids and allow you to install equipment in the corner.

Particular attention should be paid to the material from which the cabinet is made. It must not only withstand the impressive weight of equipment, but also be heat-resistant and safe for humans.

For the manufacture of structures for the oven use:

• Chipboard - is inexpensive and does not have high performance properties;
• MDF is a higher quality material. Furniture made from it is durable and does not deform under the influence of steam;
• natural wood is a material that requires special care. It is used for the production of cabinets for the oven in rare cases.

For the manufacture of rear walls and curved elements of the facade, fiberboard or plywood is used.

The material itself and its coatings must not contain toxic synthetic substances: under the influence of heat, they enter the air and can cause serious poisoning.

How to choose an oven cabinet - what are the requirements

Built-in ovens can be:

• gas;
• electric.

Gas ovens are more expensive, but pay off faster - gas is cheaper than electricity. However, the heat in them is not distributed so evenly and some products are not baked.

In any case, the furniture should be equipped with a ventilation system - a grill or special holes. Some models are made without a back wall.

Electric models are not economical and require high-quality wiring, but the dishes in them are cooked evenly, for which they have received recognition from most housewives.

It is important to choose the right furniture size. If this is an oven cabinet, then its height is usually from 65 to 80 cm.

Depending on the design, this parameter includes:

• the height of the oven box is 59.5 or 60 cm (standard);
• height of legs / base - 10-12 cm;
• tabletop thickness - 2-4 cm;
• drawer height - 10-20 cm.

The depth of the cabinet is from 50 to 65 cm, depending on the model of built-in appliances. Of these, about 10-13 cm is the overlap of the countertop on the body, which is necessary for the stable placement of the oven. Width varies from 50 to 120 cm.

The sizes of kitchen cabinets are more variable, their depth and width are identical to the parameters of the cabinets, and their height can be from 160 to 220 cm.

The module under the oven should always be larger than the appliance itself in order to ensure free air circulation.

What can combine in a cabinet for a built-in oven

The cabinet for the built-in oven can combine the functions of other household appliances:

• microwave ovens (microwaves);
• hobs.

The oven with the microwave function has gained wide popularity due to its practicality and convenience. It allows you to use the oven as a microwave, and modern models are equipped with other modes of operation - for example, defrosting, grilling, baking.

Structurally, this technique is an oven equipped with a magnetron - a microwave radiation generator.

Any oven can be combined with a hob. There are two options for this technique:

• dependent set - in it the cabinet and the panel have a common control system;
• independent - in this case, the oven and hob are purchased separately.

The dependent set looks stylish and harmonious, but is inferior to the independent set in practicality - in the event of a breakdown, the entire structure fails. In addition, in the latter case, it is possible to choose equipment that meets the needs of the hostess.

Additional equipment for oven cabinets - storage and opening systems

Furniture under the oven can be used to store kitchen utensils.

For floor cabinets, the storage system is represented by an upper or lower drawer of limited height. Because of this, only certain items can be stored in it. For example, frying pans and baking sheets.

The cabinet-pencil case has more opportunities for organizing the storage system - in it it can be represented by open shelves, drawers and compartments with doors.

Typically, the oven is built into the middle of the structure, so the storage compartment is located below or above.

In the closed sections of the cabinet-pencil case, various types of door opening mechanisms are used:

• hinged - the simplest: the doors are hinged and open "on themselves";
• folding - horizontal hinged system: open up or down;
• lifting - open with gas lifts.

Rules for placing cabinets under the oven in the kitchen

In order for the oven cabinet to harmoniously fit into the interior of the kitchen, to be convenient and safe to use, when placing it, follow the following recommendations:

• follow the rule of the "working triangle" - a space limited by three points: an oven, a sink and a refrigerator. The total sum of its sides should not exceed 6 meters;
• choose a comfortable height of equipment. The best option is from 20 to 80 cm above the floor;
• do not place the oven close to the refrigerator: this can lead to breakage of one of the appliances;
• the distance between the sink and the oven must be less than 45 cm to avoid short circuits;
• the gas oven should be located no further than 1.2 m from the pipe - the longer the hose, the less reliable it is;
• consider the opening area. It should allow you to freely pull the baking sheet out of the oven.

Steps and rules for installing an oven in a kitchen set

Installation of a built-in oven consists of several stages:

• checking equipment for operability by connecting to the network;
• installation of the cabinet in the right place;
• checking the wiring - it must have a sufficient level of resistance and be grounded. It is desirable to have a circuit breaker that operates in case of voltage drops;
• if the oven is gas - check the pipes. They must be intact, without damage;
• placing the oven in a furniture niche. If the cabinet is equipped with a rear wall, then it is necessary to make holes for wires in it;

Recently I picked up a cabinet-table for built-in household appliances, or rather a cabinet for a built-in oven. It turned out to be not as easy as it seems at first. And all because of the lack of truthful information about the dimensions of built-in ovens. I’ll tell you what I managed to find out and how not to make a mistake with the installation of the oven.

Table size is not niche size

It so happened that I needed a separate lower cabinet (table) for a built-in oven. Moreover, the depth of the cabinet should not exceed 550 mm. As it turned out, it's not that easy.

In the Stolplit store, similar cabinets turned out to be a little larger, their depth is 563 mm, which did not suit me.

Found a table at the Hoff store. There are similar tables for the oven with a depth of 510 or 550 mm. Size (WxHxD): 600x820x510 mm. The niche of this cabinet is 60x56.8x51 (HxWxD), although the depth of the table for embedding does not matter (more on that below).

We consider the size of the niche from the size of the furniture

So, a standard cabinet-table for built-in appliances has a standard width, in terms of dimensions, of 600 mm. The depth of the cabinets is different, 563 mm, 550 mm, 540 mm, there are even cabinets with a depth of 450 mm.

The overall dimension of the width is 600 mm, which does not mean that this is the width of the cabinet niche. It will be less than two cabinet wall thicknesses.

This means that the front panel of the oven will fit perfectly when built into the walls of a cabinet-table with a width of 600 mm.

In the photo I showed the name of this oven. And instead of a conclusion, do not believe everything that they write, even check the store consultant, better with your own tape measure.

Other sizes of built-in ovens for information

I picked up several instructions where the dimensions of the built-in ovens and the dimensions of the required niches for these ovens are perfectly indicated.
