It is not recommended to put oven near the fridge. But in case of application of delimiters between these kitchen devices and minimization of their influence at each other, such kitchen planning can be carried out.
Undesirability of installation of oven near the fridge
Explanation of undesirability of installation of oven and the fridge is allocation by these devices of large amount of heat during the work next to each other. At influence of devices at each other, the generated heat can damage both devices or break the complete system of operation of devices. It can lead to premature wear of oven and the fridge.
The cooling system of the fridge works due to heat production in the external atmosphere – because of it the back wall of the fridge constantly heats up. Outer surfaces of sidewalls and back wall of the fridge have to be limited from external heat impact, otherwise the internal compressor of the fridge will be forced to work more powerfully and to overheat. Because of such increased level of heat emission the term of operation of the fridge can be reduced. Besides, from influence of heat the surface of the fridge can turn yellow. At impact of thermal allocations of the fridge on the included wind plate there can be danger of emergence of sparks and sharp strengthening of burning of flame in oven.
Use of limiters
When using certain security measures and materials delimiters the oven and the fridge can be established by row. The main condition of such neighbourhood is need of availability of gap between devices in 15 and more centimeters. Between oven and the fridge in the left gap it is possible to establish small shelf or narrow cabinet. As means the specialized coating on the fridge or installation of the built-in oven can be applied to differentiation. For minimization of heat impact from oven on the fridge the surface of the fridge can be covered with the heatreflecting foil (other name – foiled izol) which specularly will reflect thermal allocations back, minimizing their influence. When using foil it is possible to put cabinet and the fridge not only nearby, but also to establish oven from above of the fridge. In a different way differentiations there can be use of furniture partition. The furniture framework for integration of oven can act as such partition. The built-in oven is the popular modern solution of complete set of kitchens, including in the design purposes. The fitted cupboard will protect the fridge from thermal influence of oven. Between the furniture body and the fridge it is also recommended to leave additional air gap.
