Usually the display will not have a problem, since it anyways runs on an internal low voltage AC or even a DC supply.However, the performance of the equipment itself might be affected, if it is designed to operate on 50Hz and you use it on 60Hz.

Built in ovens have several advantages.If they are mounted at the manufacturer’s recommended height; they are easy on the back, because you won’t have to bend to put things in or get them out.This also makes them safer to use because you are standing upright when removing heavy items, such as a large turkey.Since the oven is the least used appliance in the kitchen it is possible to place them out of the main work triangle. Of course, if you are the exception and broil every day that doesn’t apply. But for most people it does.Using separate ovens placed away from the cooktop allows pot and pan storage on rollout shelves or drawers underneath the cooktop, where they are really handiest.Using a separate oven underneath a cooktop means you can choose features of each. The installation is almost always a neater way to go with fewer nooks and crannies to clean and maintain.The opportunity to have double ovens for those days when an extra oven would be wonderful, like Thanksgiving.Best of all is the opportunity to choose each appliance according to your needs and preferences. Choices are more limited in ranges and stoves.Disadvantages:Separate ovens and cooktops cost more than all-in-one ranges and stoves.Built-in ovens tend to be a bit smaller inside because they are more heavily insulated.You need a bit more room for them so they are not usually appropriate for very small kitchens unless they are under the cooktop.

I am not sure that I completely understand what you are trying to do here, but I will try to give you an answer that will be helpful.First of all when you are talking about a Built In Oven, these are units that are usually installed into a cabinet cavity or opening where the front of the unit including the doors protrude out past the face frame of the cabinet. In most cases, you need 24″ of depth from the front of the face frame of the cabinet to the back wall. Some actual built in wall ovens will have a chassis depth of up to 23 7/8″ which means when it is installed it won’t be that far away from the wall.As far as the side wall clearance, you will need to have a minimum of 1″ width for the side rail of the face frame of the cabinet. This will give you enough clearance on the side to open the door of the oven.You will simply need to follow that clearance allowances given by the oven manufacturer for the proper opening size for the unit you decide to use.Some people have had us install built in ovens into an existing wall or in other cases we have walled in an area in the kitchen and then installed the built in oven into the proper size cavity that we framed inside the wall area.Make sure that when you install the oven, you follow the directions for proper mounting. The platform needs to be level and all the installation screws must be secure.If you do all of these things, then you should have no problems with the oven and you can enjoy it for many years.Just one more thing, you can go online and get installation instructions and all the framing and unit dimensions on the manufacturers websites. This way you will know which units will work best for you. On our website, Showroom411.com, go to the homepage and click on the Appliances category and then click on Cooking and scroll down to find the oven of your choice, click on it and you will be able to go to the manufacture to get all the information you need.I hope this helps.
