Linea or Classic?
The Classic ovens here are stainless steel, while the Linea ovens are listed in Neptune Grey. Both series list European convection.
The practical split is the cooking type. Classic models are oven only. Linea models add combi-steam or combi-microwave cooking.
Steam, speed or conventional?
A combi-steam oven adds moisture to baking and roasting. A combi-microwave, or speed oven, cooks faster by combining microwave energy with convection. A conventional oven is the simplest and has the largest cavity.
Many kitchens pair a conventional oven with a smaller Linea oven above it. See our guide to steam oven vs. speed oven for a closer look.
Plan the cutout
Wall ovens need a cabinet cutout that matches the model. Compare the width, depth and height in the table, then check the installation guide on each product page.
- Measure the cabinet opening width, height and depth.
- Confirm the electrical requirements.
- Plan the position of the oven relative to a second oven or drawer.
- Check the door swing and clearance.
