Hello Ikea fan community,
after assembling my kitchen and installing the oven today, I encountered the following problem in addition to the uneven floors and walls typical of older buildings. The oven sticks out about 1.5 cm (0.6 inches) at the top.
Installed is a Metod base cabinet intended for a cooktop/sink measuring 60x60x60 cm (24x24x24 inches), and to the left, a Metod/Maximera cabinet 80x60x60 cm (31.5x24x24 inches), all supported by LIMHAMN legs.

Does anyone have an idea?
Suggestions are welcome...

Thanks & regards, brochi

Hello,
do you have this?

Flat silver 19-inch rack tray with side mounting rails

Utrusta
Oven bracket, galvanized

What is the planned distance to the cabinet floor?

Hello,
only the carcass plus the frame, nothing else. The distance to the cabinet base? I would say the oven sits flush.
Other base cabinets were not an option due to the desired uniform appearance (because of the legs).
Even the dishwasher was removed from the plan since it would have reached all the way to the floor.

Then you don’t have the cabinet you linked, but one with a 60cm (24 inch) high carcass. Which Bosch model do you have?

Yes, right, I’ve changed it... I’m afraid of the worst... the 60x60x60 is for the cooktop... external dimensions 60cm (24 inches) high, so the interior is naturally smaller by the thickness of the base plate... BOSCH HND 43 MS50 set with BOSCH HEG33U350 and BOSCH NKH645G17M.

What I am about to write will likely not please you.
The oven does not fit into the cabinet.
Possible solutions:
1) Purchase a 45cm (18 inch) high oven.
2) Install decorative strips between the cabinet boxes and the countertop.
3) Remove the bottom of the cabinet and screw the side panels to the adjacent cabinets.
