FAQ's

At Smeg, we take pride in offering a range of single ovens that combine stylish design with cutting-edge technology. Our Italian craftsmanship ensures that our ovens not only perform exceptionally but also add a sleek, modern touch to your kitchen. Whether you're looking for a steam, pyrolytic, traditional, or an oven with a microwave, we have something to suit your every cooking need.

What is a single oven?

A single oven is a cooking unit with only one oven cavity or compartment. It is the standard choice for most households, offering a single cooking space that can be used for baking, roasting, grilling, and most other cooking needs. A built-in single oven is designed to be integrated seamlessly into your kitchen cabinetry, creating a streamlined and modern look.

Unlike freestanding cookers, built-in ovens are installed directly into a wall or fitted cabinet, often at eye or waist level, depending on your preference and kitchen layout.

Are all single ovens the same size?

No, not all single ovens are the same size. Single ovens come in a variety of sizes: However, there are some standard dimensions that they typically follow.

Width: Built-in single ovens are typically either 60cm but we also have extra wide 90cm ovens.

Height: Single ovens are typically 60cm in height, although we also make compact single ovens which are 45 cm tall.

How do you measure for a built-in single oven?

Start by measuring the height, width, and depth of the space you have available in your cabinet (This is often easier to do when your existing appliance has been removed but if that’s not possible, you can normally gain a close approximation within a couple of mm).

It is recommended that you measure twice in each orientation, and ask someone to help you if necessary.

How do I choose the right size and capacity oven for my needs?

Selecting the appropriate size and capacity for your oven depends on your household's cooking needs. Think about how many people you typically cook for and the types of meals you make. If you have a large family or regularly host large parties, then you may want one of our larger single ovens, or consider a double oven. However, if you cook just for yourself or for yourself and a partner, then a single oven will be better for you.

How do I clean a single oven effectively?

To effectively clean your single oven, begin by removing the racks and trays. Use a mixture of warm water and mild detergent or an oven-specific cleaner to wipe down the interior, tackling stubborn stains as needed.

Soak the racks and trays in soapy water, scrub them clean, rinse thoroughly, and dry before returning them to the oven.

For the oven door and glass, clean with a suitable oven glass cleaner or a water-and-vinegar solution.

What’s the difference between a double oven and a single oven?

The main difference between a double oven and a single oven is that a double oven has two oven cavities while a single oven has one compartment.

This means with a double oven you can cook multiple dishes at the same time. However, single ovens are often cheaper and take up less space in your kitchen.

How do I disconnect, move, or install a single oven?

While it’s possible to disconnect, move, or install a single oven yourself, it’s often a smart choice to leave the job to professionals. This ensures your new oven is installed correctly, and your old one is disposed of responsibly.

Additionally, it is illegal to disconnect an old gas oven or connect a new one without a Gas Safe registered engineer. So if your old or new oven is a gas oven, then you won’t be able to do it yourself.

At Smeg, we can take care of safely disconnecting and removing your old oven, as well as installing your new single oven—simply select these services when placing your order. This hassle-free option saves you the trouble of arranging a removal service and helps minimize the time your kitchen is without an oven.
