Stove dimensions usually encompass a height of 36", not counting control panels, which is the same height as most kitchen counters. The purpose of this is to ensure that a stove's cooking surface can be flush with countertops to achieve a seamless aesthetic.
At a minimum, there should be at least 42 inches of space between a kitchen island and the nearest countertop. If you have an oven that opens into this space, you will need even more room, at least 48 inches.
The goal is for your range to fit mostly flush with the top of your countertops and the front of your cabinets, with the door only sticking out an inch or two beyond the cabinets.
The appliance surface must be slightly above the counter, whether or not the range top has flanges to achieve that. It is a fire safety issue. Most have flanges that are larger than the open space, and fit similarly to a slide in range. The rangetop slides in the opening, and the flanges slide on top of the counters.
Cabinet doors and drawer fronts are recommended being over an inch away from the oven for safety.
The top of your stove should be ideally level with the top of the counter or slightly higher if needed to avoid heat from the cooktop damaging the counter over time.
For the installation, a slide-in range is meant to fit between your cabinets. It will sit flush against your existing cabinetry and shouldn't stick out from the wall. The sides of this oven and range might not have any fashionable panels covering them – because they aren't meant to be seen.

Higher Cost: Slide-in ranges tend to be more expensive than freestanding models due to their integrated design and premium features. Complex Installation: Proper installation may require professional assistance, especially if modifications to cabinetry or countertops are necessary, adding to the overall cost.
Stove dimensions can vary between the stove size itself and the cutout measurements. For example, a 30-inch stove may actually measure at 29⅞ inches wide, but it will require a 30-inch cutout for installation. It's important to check the exact specifications of each stove to make sure it will fit your available space.
Yes, it does stick out but not fully. When a slide-in range is installed, the unfinished ends are attached to the cabinets on both sides, leaving no hairline gap in between so the entire thing looks built-in. However, a slide-in range, excluding the door, is only flush with the cabinet base.
The sink, main refrigerator, and stove should be in close proximity to each other. You require a minimum of 4 feet between each point to easily maneuver, and equally not more than 9 feet. This allows easy access to get food from the refrigerator to a preparation point, and then into the oven.
Countertop against an appliance
When the countertop is adjacent to an appliance, such as a refrigerator or stove, the side that butts up against the appliance should have an overhang of 1/8-inch to ¼-inch.
Guidelines recommend 15” of space on either one or both sides of an oven, or if the oven is in a tall cabinet and this is not possible, to have 15” of landing space no more than 48” in front of the oven as long as it does not open into the main walkway.
Attack the Crack
For narrow spaces: Use the tip of a butter knife to scrape any crumbs out. Make sure the blade is facing away from you. Wedge the knife into the gap between the stove and counter, and gently scrape any debris in your direction.
Purchase a silicone gap cover designed to cover the area between the stove and the countertop. Slide the bottom of the T-shaped cover into the gap so that the top of the cover sits flat on your stove and counter.
You'll want to provide extra space to prevent that cabinet from being exposed to the higher temps and the potential to come in contact with a flame. You may also want to consider the possibility of a grease fire or similar hazard.
Most cooktops are top mounted (proud mounted) on to the countertop, but recently flush mounted installations have been popping up in Kitchen design. Flat top electric or induction cooktops were the first cooktops to be installed this way.
A tile backsplash behind the stove serves as a focal point, adding style and character to your kitchen. It's also practical, protecting the wall from heat, splatters, and spills, and it's easier to clean compared to other wall surfaces.
Does a slide-in range need a countertop behind it? No, you do not need to install a countertop behind a slide-in range. The small gap between the stove and the wall is normal for this type of appliance; however, you can add a backsplash or countertop if you would like.
A semi-flush mount fixture is suspended, leaving a small gap between the ceiling and fixture. This gap allows for an uplit effect, while providing a direct downward light. These ceiling fixtures produce a better ambient light effect than flush mount fixtures and are usually the preferred option for living spaces.
When growing in soil organically, all you need to do as a "flush" is stop all feeding/fertilizers for the last 10-14 days before the expected harvest day.
A straight flush is when a straight is made up of cards of the same suit, such as 6♡-7♡-8♡-9♡-10♡. A royal flush is actually just a straight flush of the cards 10♢-J♢-Q♢-K♢-A♢.
