Default I need shorter range legs

I purchased a Samsung range that only goes down to 36" with the legs screwed
all the way in. Because we had new flooring added our counter tops are 3/8"
to low. The slide in range lip is thus 3/8" above the counter. I could cut
away part of the flooring under the stove. But I worry when later someone
tries to slide it out it will catch on the higher flooring toward the room.
Any suggestions. I thot of cutting the flooring on an angle to make a sort of
ramp? Not sure if that would work.

Not being able to see the range legs I don't know if they can be modified, but
that is a possibility if the feet can be changed. If you cannot do that, cut
the floor so it fits. Chances are the range will not be moved for years and
it is not a big deal to lift the range and get it over the edge.

Have you looked at counter trim moulding? The ledge would still
be there but
it might look better.

Take the legs off. This ain't rocket science.

Don't put flooring under a dishwasher, stove, or items that don't fit.
Had I put tile under my dishwasher it would not have fit in the space
under the counter.

I allowed for the thickness of a half inch of tile backer board and 3/8"
for tile when I designed the kitchen ... but that's kinda moot since I have
only put up a countertop with a shelf under at this point .
