A built-in oven is the appliance that defines whether a kitchen feels modern or dated, and it splits into two clear families: the under-counter oven tucked beneath the worktop, and the eye-level oven housed in a tall unit. This page collects free built-in oven CAD blocks in DWG and DXF — single and double ovens, under-counter and eye-level — drawn to true millimetre sizes for AutoCAD 2004 or later, free for personal and commercial use with no signup and no watermark.

Because a built-in oven drops into a precise cabinet aperture, the block's main job is to confirm it fits the housing and sits at a usable height. Drawn to scale, it lets you set the under-counter cavity within the base run or the eye-level cavity in the tall unit, and check the door swing clears the floor and the walkway.

What a built-in oven block represents

A built-in oven block represents an appliance and its aperture together. In plan you see the oven footprint within the base unit or tall unit, with the drop-down door swing forward into the room — a check that matters because the door reaches well into the walkway when open. In elevation, the more useful view, the block draws the oven door, the control panel and the height within the housing.

For a double oven, the block stacks a main oven and a second cavity or grill, which is taller and needs a deeper housing. The aperture matters as much as the appliance, so the block lets you confirm the cabinet opening and the ventilation gap. The body, door and controls sit on separate layers for clean elevations.

Under-counter or eye-level

A built-in oven lives in one of two positions, and the block covers both. An under-counter oven drops into the base run beneath the worktop, often directly under the hob in a classic cooker-style arrangement, keeping the cooking on one line. An eye-level oven sits in a tall unit at a height where the cook does not have to bend, which is the more ergonomic and increasingly the more common choice.

For the layout you work in plan to confirm the footprint and the door swing; for the real decision — the height and how the oven reads in the run — you work in elevation. A double oven almost always sits eye-level in a tall unit because of its height. Many downloads carry both views in one DWG.

Typical built-in oven dimensions

Design around these and confirm against the model. A standard single built-in oven sits on the 600 mm module, with the appliance around 595 mm wide and 595 mm tall to drop into a standard housing aperture, and roughly 550 to 570 mm deep. A double oven is the same width but taller, commonly around 880 to 900 mm tall, needing a deeper tall-unit housing. Compact and combination ovens are shorter, around 450 mm tall.

For an under-counter oven the cavity sits within the 900 mm worktop run; for an eye-level oven, set the housing so the most-used shelf is at a comfortable working height. Allow the ventilation gap the manufacturer specifies around the appliance, and keep the door swing clear of the opposite run in a galley.

Inserting and fitting the oven

The blocks are full size in millimetres. Insert at scale 1 in a millimetre drawing, 0.001 in a metre template, or set INSUNITS to millimetres so AutoCAD rescales on insertion. Run INSERT, snap to a corner or the centre of the appliance, and place it into the base or tall-unit aperture in elevation.

The key step is fitting the oven to the housing: align the appliance to the cabinet aperture, confirm the ventilation gap, and set the height — under the worktop for an under-counter unit, or at a comfortable level for an eye-level one. In plan, keep the door-swing layer on and check the open door clears the opposite run and the walkway. Keep the oven on its own appliance layer and freeze it for a cabinet-only plan.

Where built-in oven blocks are used

Built-in oven blocks appear in residential kitchen plans and elevations, apartment fit-outs, kitchen showrooms and developer show homes. Interior designers and kitchen specialists use them to decide between under-counter and eye-level and to set the housing height; architects use the aperture to coordinate the cabinet run; developers use the standard footprint to confirm a fitted appliance suits the kitchen.

Pair the built-in oven with the hob, microwave and tall-unit blocks in the kitchen category so an under-counter oven sits under the hob, an eye-level oven aligns with a stacked microwave, and the tall-unit run reads cleanly across the elevation.

Setting the eye-level oven height for the cook

The quiet advantage of an eye-level built-in oven is that it ends the bending and crouching of an under-counter unit, and the scaled block is how you tune that benefit. The aim is to set the housing so the most-used oven shelf — usually the middle one — sits at a comfortable working height for the cook, roughly between waist and chest level, so a heavy roasting tray can be lifted in and out without a stoop or a stretch. Drawing the oven to scale in the tall-unit elevation lets you place that shelf line precisely rather than guessing where the cabinet should start.

The trade-off the block helps you weigh is the door swing and the hot surfaces. An eye-level oven door drops down at the height people walk past, so the open door projects into the room at hip or thigh level — fine in a generous kitchen, a hazard in a tight galley. Drawing the swing to scale shows whether the open door clashes with the opposite run or a doorway. Settle the height and the swing on the elevation and the plan, and you get the ergonomic win of an eye-level oven without the clashes that can come with it.

Questions

Frequently asked

What size is a built-in single oven block?+

A standard single built-in oven sits on the 600 mm module — around 595 mm wide and 595 mm tall to drop into a standard housing aperture, roughly 550 to 570 mm deep. A double oven is the same width but taller, around 880 to 900 mm. Confirm against the model.

Should the oven be under-counter or eye-level?+

Under-counter keeps the cooking on one line, often beneath the hob; eye-level avoids bending and is the more ergonomic choice, and is required for a tall double oven. Draw both to scale in the elevation to weigh the ergonomics against the door swing and the run.

What height should an eye-level oven be set at?+

Set the housing so the most-used shelf sits at a comfortable working height — roughly between waist and chest level — so a heavy tray can be lifted without bending or stretching. Draw the oven to scale in the tall-unit elevation to place that shelf line precisely.

Are these built-in oven CAD blocks free for commercial use?+

Yes. They download free in DWG and, where available, DXF, with no signup, no watermark and no attribution requirement, and they are cleared for commercial project use.
