Oven Next To Dishwasher

Jaketoo

Anyone know if it is o.k. to install an electric oven next to a dishwasher. The kitchen I looked at has this set up, but someone told me this is not recommended, and may not meet MA building code. They also said it would be o.k. to move oven next to fridge, with a heat shield in between. This is a small apartment kitchen.Thanks

Couldn't tell you about the code, but in terms of kitchen design having the stove next to the fridge is a pita. There should be a 'flow' for the kitchen: bring the groceries in, put them on the counter next to the fridge; put them into the fridge; take them out of the fridge to wash/cut/prepare them (next to the sink); move them into pots/pans and onto/into the stove/oven; move them from the stove to the final prep and then into the d/w. It's always best to have the appliances seperated by counter space.

Sometimes this can't be done due to space/design limitations, but it's the goal.

Keepng them all separated is the best but i would think stove next to dishwasher is better than next to fridge.
