I am replacing an electric range (With a cracked top)with a gas range. Gas is in place and I have spent weeks looking at gas ranges on line. Finally decided on a slide in range, (Love the way they look) even though they cost more and don't seem to have as many features and their free-standing counterparts. New dilemma: the minimum height of a Slide-in range is 35 7/8, my counter-top is 35 3/4. The way I understand it, I will have 1/8" gap between the top of my counter and the stove. My stove will sit on hardwood floor but my cabinets sit on the sub floor. Has anyone encountered this problem?? Any solutions?? So now not only do I have to fill in the gap in the back of the stove but have to solve the problem of the height. IS A SLIDE IN WORTH IT??? HELP!
