How do I pack the space between my oven and dishwasher?

Question

I have recently had my floors redone in my kitchen, now, because I have changed the type of flooring the space between my oven top and oven is quite large, what can I use to put between my dishwasher and oven to get the oven back up to where it should be? I used to have tiles now I have vinyl.

To be honest I am still trying to figure out how to pull out the oven without taking the door off. Thank you so much for your help, I am keen on the metal mate ideas!

Hi @Newatthis

If it would be better to have an air gap, you can also get the angle in black and this one would leave a 5mm gap for ventilation…

I would then buy a pack of these…

and use the adhesive strips to stick it in place as they are nice and thin so shouldn't show up.

Aso if you decide to raise the whole thing , this can be used at the bottom to give a neat edge (especially if there are feet on the bottom that you can adjust)

On the provision that there is no requirement from the oven manufacturer to have an airgap above the oven, another option would be to install a

trim piece in that gap.
