Built In Ovens

A built-in oven installs permanently into a kitchen unit, either beneath the worktop or inside a tall housing at eye level. Unlike a freestanding cooker, it separates baking from the hob, letting you position each appliance where it suits your workflow and cabinetry layout best.

Freestanding cookers combine hob and oven in one movable unit that slots between cabinets. Built in models are installed into fitted furniture, pairing with a separate hob of your choice. Fitted versions give a cleaner finish and flexible placement; freestanding remains easier to replace without carpentry work.

Standard housings accept 60 cm wide appliances, which suit nearly every Cypriot kitchen. Compact 45 cm units fit apartments, while some households prefer two ovens for greater flexibility when preparing several dishes at once. Wider 90 cm models suit keen cooks, and high-capacity ovens such as UNOX Casa are an excellent fit for larger households or those regularly cooking for groups. Always measure the aperture height and depth before ordering.

Single cavities offer 65 to 72 litres and serve most families well. Double configurations add a smaller upper compartment, letting you roast and bake at separate temperatures simultaneously. Households that entertain often, or cook multi course meals at Christmas and Easter, benefit most from the second cavity.

Pyrolytic cleaning heats the empty cavity to roughly 500 degrees Celsius, reducing grease and food residue to fine ash you simply wipe away. The cycle runs for one to three hours behind a locked door. It removes scrubbing from your routine entirely, though it draws extra electricity per session.

Steam models inject moisture during cooking, keeping bread crusts crisp, fish tender, and vegetables bright without added fat. Some appliances combine steam with conventional heat for roasting. Anyone baking regularly or cooking for health reasons will notice the difference; occasional users may find standard multifunction adequate.

Conventional heating uses upper and lower elements, producing gentle layered warmth ideal for cakes and slow roasts. Fan assisted versions circulate hot air, so shelves cook evenly and temperatures can drop by around 20 degrees. Multifunction appliances offer both, plus grill and defrost programmes.

Both positions work. Under counter placement suits compact kitchens and keeps sightlines open. Eye level housing removes bending, which helps anyone with back trouble, and makes checking progress easier. Confirm that your chosen model is approved for the position, since some require specific ventilation clearances.

Catalytic liners absorb splashes and burn them off during normal use, so wiping the base and door glass keeps things tidy. For heavier build up, apply a dedicated cream to cool surfaces, leave it to work, then rinse. Avoid wire wool, which scratches enamel permanently.
