With so many different types, sizes, and features to choose from, buying a new oven can be a daunting process. To find out which oven is best for your needs, consider the style of your kitchen, your installation preference (built-in or freestanding) and your cooking habits. Our helpful oven buying guide answers the most commonly asked questions.
What built-in oven size do I need?
Oven sizes vary depending on the model. However, ovens typically measure 60x60cm for standard models, 60x45cm for compact models, and 90x48cm for bigger models. It’s important to choose an oven that fits the space available in your kitchen. If space is flexible, consider how often and how much you’ll be cooking. To know which size is right for you, we’ve provided the exact oven dimensions for each size.
What types of heating can I choose from?
There are three different oven heating methods: convection, microwave and steam. Most Siemens ovens use convection heating in combination with numerous intelligent functions. Some models include either an integrated microwave, steam functionality or both. Steamers are also available as standalone appliances that can compliment a standard convection oven.
Siemens' ovens offer also a range of standard and specialised heat settings for every type of dish.
- 4D hotAir is ideal for baking and roasting all types of food, using up to four levels. The fan motor technology ensures even heat distribution throughout the oven interior
- Hot air gentle and hot air eco is perfect for slow cooking poultry and smaller cuts of meat without preheating
- The bottom-only mode is ideal for preserving, browning, and the final baking stage. Top/bottom mode is used to gently cook selected food types on one level
- You have three settings for grilling, the small grill area, large grill area, and hot air grilling
Intuitive operation: touch-screen menu displays
Siemens' user-friendly menu structure and high-resolution colour displays with touch navigation makes operating your oven intuitively simple.
What innovative oven features do Siemens offer?
What is a self-cleaning oven?
A self-cleaning oven (or pyrolytic oven) uses extremely high temperatures, up to 500 degrees Celsius, to turn food residue into ash. This can be easily wiped away without scrubbing or detergent. In addition to self-cleaning, Siemens offers ovens with technology to prevent dirt build-up and make cleaning easier.
Are Siemens built-in ovens safe?
Siemens intelligent built-in ovens come with a range of innovative safety features, such as telescopic rails, childproof locking, and gentle door closing.
What benefits does a Home Connect built-in oven give me?
With WiFi connectivity, you can control your oven using our Home Connect app on your smartphone. This allows you to preheat the oven before you arrive home, transfer recipe settings, use voice control and monitor the baking progress.
What type of built-in oven is best for baking?
If you’re passionate about baking, you’ll want to find an oven that best suits your needs and space. Siemens ovens ensure optimal baking results with even heat distribution and intelligent sensors that monitor the temperature and moisture level to prevent overcooking.
What else to consider:
Energy consumption depends on what temperatures you use most. However, most modern appliances use around 2.4kWh per hour on medium to high heat. Aside from gas, which uses no electricity, the most energy efficient ovens use convection heating.
