The panels that are immediately adjacent to the oven must be of a material that has
heat resistant qualities. In particular, cabinets with veneer finishes must be assembled
with glues that can withstand temperatures of up to 100°C. Special attention must be
paid to the edge banding finish on the cabinetry. Special care must be taken with
vacuum applied veneers commonly referred to as “thermowrap”. If in doubt, always
refer to the technical data supplied by the kitchen cabinetry manufacturer.
In order to ensure adequate
ventilation, the back of the cabinet
unit must be removed. If the oven
will rest on a continuous panel there
must be an aperture of at least
560mm wide by 45mm deep from the
rear of the cabinet.
