Home double oven heat transfer regulations

There is a  problem in a double oven (one above the other) but in the same carcass (Shell). When the bottom oven is on and running at 200C the top oven, which is switched off,  is warmed by heat from the bottom oven. The top oven temperature  has been measured at 100C of heat transfer. The same is true, but to a lower temperature, if the top oven is on and the bottom oven is off.

 

I am trying to find the specification/regulation for the double ovens that states what the permissible heat transfer is.

  • Are they made by the same manufacturer? Does the manufacturer(s) allow both ovens to be stacked?

    Are the ventilation requirements met for both ovens individually? Usually there is a gap behind and a gap or grill at the front above an oven, if fitted under a worktop.

    Make and model of each oven please, or link to the installation instructions might be helpful.

  • Hello

    As both ovens are in the same shell and sold as a double oven, you can assume the are made by the same manufacturer.

    In this case both ovens are both convection ovens, here is a link to an example of a double oven. Built in double oven Hotpoint DU2 540 IX, other double ovens are available.
