I recently bought a new Metod tall cabinet for our new oven. The spot where the cabinet is supposed to go used to have the sink.
In fact, that area has the drain/water supply, as well as an instantaneous water heater measuring 25 x 50 cm (10 x 20 inches).
In terms of dimensions, the oven would fit exactly in the gap between the drain/water supply and the instantaneous water heater mounted above.
Of course, I would need to modify the back panel of the cabinet a bit with a jigsaw so that it can sit flush against the wall, but that should be doable.
The other question is about the temperatures behind the oven, since the instantaneous water heater, or rather its plastic cover, would extend about 9 cm (3.5 inches) inside the tall cabinet.
The assembly and operating manual explains clearly that the tall cabinet draws in room-temperature air from the bottom/back and expels warm air from the oven upward/backward. So now I’m a bit concerned whether the instantaneous water heater can handle this.
What do you think?
Best regards

the appliances always specify that the furniture must withstand 90°C (194°F). If it gets that hot, it could be too much for the PVC.
I once had a tankless water heater that eventually started leaking. I would rather not have an electrical appliance under dripping water.
