Question about Wall Ovens

[tvwatcher]

We're looking to replace our wall oven - it's 20 years old, and very small - there's about a one foot space between the back of the oven and the wall - lots of room for air to circulate.

Now, the wall ovens I've been looking at all have a depth of around 23 1/2 inches, which would put it right back against the cabinetry - would there be a problem with heat, since it would be right against the wood cabinetry, or is this typical?

You would have to look at each model. Different models have different requirements. If it says you need 6 inches, and you have 2, you can put certain materials which reduce the size needed.
