Ranges & Stand alone cookers!!!!!

[socketman]

Hi all,
When fitting stand alone cookers or ranges in kitchens, what is the best way to intergrate it with the worktop. Previous experience has proved that crumbs and waste fall down the gap between both worktop and cooker which can get frustrating...although the mice love it.

Leave enough space each side to get a hoover pipe down there!!!!!!!



Mr. Handyandy - really

Hey Socketman

It`s best to make a feature of the Range , ie leave a noticeable gap between it and the adjacent Cabinets , a lot of these Range Cookers emit quite a lot of heat from the side Panels , They can then disclour Cabinet edges and fascias`s so best kept away ...maybe about 18mm in my opinion.

Some Cabinets have good quality insulation within which help stop this Problem , Worth checking with the Manufacturer
