kitchen design question
I have a question that might not come up too often here....
Can a free-standing oven be placed next to the dish-washer? This is likely going to be a temporary solution, but --- as we are do-it-yourselfers --- temporary would likely means years... Of course I'll check with manufactures, to see whether that voids warranty and such, but thought maybe here someone could share ideas/experiences. Thanks loads, Mr. Curious |

Can a free-standing oven be placed next to the dish-washer? don't know if it is recommended or not, but you will need something to support the top...a dishwasher end panel is designed for thispurpose...it is simply a three inch filler with a side on it...it supports the top and would also separate the dishwasher and range ------------------- Chris Perdue "Sometimes you're the windshield, sometimes you're the bug!"

It's a *hack-job* right now. I'll look into that dishwasher end-panel, maybe from Ikea where some of my kitchen cabinetry has come from. Of course this all came about because my 24" gas wall oven just crapped out. Ever heard of a brand called "Verona"? Oh nevermind..... |
