Basic selection criteria
Type of performance
The first thing to decide when choosing an oven is whether it will depend on the hob orthe technique will be completely independent. We recommend choosing the second version for the following reasons:
- The dependent oven must be located under the hob, so you can not place them in different places.
- The connected oven and cooker are connected to the same outlet. Since the technique is quite powerful, the old electrical wiring may not withstand such a load.
As you can see, the disadvantages are weighty, so it is much more reasonable to choose an independent electric oven built-in type.
Dimensions
As a rule, the dimensions of the ovens are standard. To choose an oven in size, you need to focus on a kitchen set, whose depth is usually 55 cm. As for the height and width, most models have dimensions of 60 * 60 cm. In turn, the height can be slightly smaller - 45 cm, and the width on the contrarymore - from 90 to 120 cm. When choosing a built-in oven in size, you first need to focus on the kitchen set and the purpose of technology.
Power
In fact, not the most important parameter, which you need to pay attention to. The fact is that most often the power of built-in ovens does not exceed 4 kW.The more power, the faster the camera warms up, so you do not need to get hung up on this issue. The only thing I would like to note - before choosing an electric oven, make sure that the wiring in the house is able to withstand a load of 3-4 kW.Otherwise, you will have to replace the electrical wiring in the house with a new one, with copper conductors of at least 2.5 mm2.
Additional functions of
To choose a quality and at the same time inexpensive oven for the kitchen, you need to know what functions should be present in it, and which ones should be abandoned. Why overpay for something you will not use? So, in modern built-in ovens the following functionalities can be present:
- Mechanical or electronic control. Yes, the sensor is more convenient, but more often it breaks down and affects the price of equipment. Rotary switches are more reliable and also because of them the oven will be cheaper.
- Energy efficiency class. Should be "A", i.e.most economical.
- Timer. Without it, preparing a dish will be more difficult, becausewill have to constantly look at the time to turn off the oven in time.
- The function of grilling and convection heating. Very useful programs, thanks to which you can expand the list of dishes for cooking in the built-in oven. There are also models with a microwave function. The cost of such devices will be higher, but the oven can be used as a microwave oven, which is very convenient. In addition, you can choose an electric oven, in which you can fry shish kebabs( models with skewers), prepare yoghurts, dry fruits, etc.
- Thermal overload protection. Is mandatory, becauseprotects the technician from an emergency situation.
- Door cooling fan. Thanks to the additional fan, the door will not heat up and at the same time protect the surrounding furniture and appliances from heating.
- Telescopic guides. With their help get the cooked dish( or just assess the degree of readiness) will be an order of magnitude simpler, and most importantly - you will not burn at the same time.
- Cleaning system. It can be an easy cleaning enamel, which must be washed out with a detergent after each cooking. A more convenient type of cleaning of the built-in oven is hydrolysis, in which the detergent is poured into a special tray and the cleaning mode is activated. After that, the fat from the walls is removed much easier. There are also models with catalytic and pyrolytic cleaning, due to which the fat is self-cleaved and removed from the oven walls due to the fact that inside the chamber the temperature reaches 500oC.Having learned about all the options for cleaning you should choose the most suitable option for your own conditions, focusing on material possibilities.
- The presence of a temperature probe, which can control the temperature of the dish at the bottom.
- Protection from children. No less important function, which should not be forgotten.
