• Can a Wolf Oven be installed behind doors?

Answer:

Wall Ovens may be installed in an armoire-style cabinet or behind pocket doors. However, doors must stay open during preheat, usage, and cool-down to prevent the unit from overheating.

• Due to the recess of the door and the handle, escaping heat and humidity will collect on the material immediately below the door opening.
• This may cause warping, condensation buildup, and other damage to the enclosure.
• Damage caused to the unit or cabinetry due to this type of installation would not be covered by warranty, nor does Wolf have specifications for this application.
• Oven cooling fans run during unit operation, dispensing heat through the vent at the front of the unit.
• Trapping this heat in an enclosure may cause damage to the unit and is a fire hazard.
• If an installation guide does not show a door or enclosure, it is not allowed for proper installation of the product.
