Built-in & Built-Under Ovens

A built-in oven is an appliance designed to be fitted flush into kitchen cabinetry or a column unit for a seamless, integrated look. It’s the standard option for modern fitted kitchens and requires specific cut-out dimensions.

A built-under oven is installed beneath the worktop (under the counter) and is often paired with a separate hob; it’s ideal for traditional kitchen layouts or where eye-level installation isn’t needed.

Smeg offers ovens in common fitted widths, including compact 45cm, standard 60cm and large 90cm formats, plus a selection of double configurations to suit different kitchens.

Yes, Smeg built-in ovens can generally be installed into an IKEA kitchen’s cabinetry because most integrated ovens from major manufacturers use standard sizes that align with IKEA’s METOD cabinet dimensions, so they will physically fit the cut-outs when you match the oven’s size to the cabinet frame.

Yes, mixing finishes (for example, stainless steel with black glass) can create an intentional, high-end look when done thoughtfully. To keep the scheme feeling cohesive, repeat a finish elsewhere in the room (e.g. tapware or hood) so the mix reads as a designed choice rather than an afterthought.

Smeg built-in ovens can work very well in handleless kitchens, but you’ll need to check the oven’s front profile and the cabinet/door mounting method first. 

Look for models with a recessed or integrated handle, follow the oven’s installation clearances and ventilation guidance, and if you plan a flush slab door over the appliance front, consult your installer or the product manual to ensure correct ventilation and door alignment.

Choose a single oven if you mainly cook for small households or want a simpler layout; opt for a double oven when you regularly cook multiple dishes at different temperatures or entertain frequently, as it gives two independent cavities for greater flexibility.

Yes, Smeg ovens are designed to meet strong energy-efficiency standards, combining design features such as multi-glazed doors to reduce energy use. However, each oven model has different energy ratings, so it’s best to check individual product specifications.

Many Smeg ovens include features that speed up preheating and reduce cooking time, for example, fan-assisted convection and dedicated rapid-preheat functions on select models.

Built-in ovens need the correct clearances and ventilation as shown in the installation instructions to ensure safe operation and optimal performance. 

Ventilation requirements vary by model and installation type, so follow the oven’s installation guide or have a qualified installer fit the appliance.

All Smeg appliances are supplied with a standard 2-year manufacturer's guarantee, but selected models are eligible for an extended 5-year warranty (parts and labour) when registered. Check the 5-year warranty eligibility and register your appliance after purchase.

Often yes, if your cabinet’s cut-out dimensions, depth, and electric access match the oven’s installation specifications. Consult the product manual and Smeg’s installation guidance (or a qualified professional) before attempting to fit.
