The new Maytag® wall oven also offers industry-leading capacity and a 40 percent faster preheat than a standard preheat* thanks to the combined power of the bake and broil burners and convection element and fan. The new streamlined unit delivers the space and power to get it all done dependably and fast. This, combined with the new FIT system allows families to spend less time cooking food or waiting for a remodel to finish, and more time enjoying the meal itself.

"Consumers are limited with a lack of options when it comes to replacing their wall oven due to their custom-designed cabinet cut outs," said Kate Davidson, senior brand manager, Maytag. "Maytag brand has provided an easy solution for the consumer with the FIT system to streamline the process of choosing the right Maytag® wall oven for their home and their life."

The new line also boasts Even Air™ true convection, allowing consumers to roast foods up to 30 percent faster than a standard oven, while getting uniform browning and outstanding baking performance. When using this feature, consumers can rest assured that their legendary family recipes will be perfect, as the Auto Conversion feature will convert standard time and temperatures to their convection equivalents. Heavy-duty roll-out racks feature full extension glides on ball bearings that slide out smoothly for easy access to large meals.

Maytag® FIT system wall ovens are available at retailers nationwide and are designed, engineered and assembled in Tennessee. Additionally, the wall ovens have a 10-year limited warranty on the oven elements. Models from the FIT system line start at an MSRP of $1,099 each.
