We are about to select a range for remodeled kitchen. Up to now we're
planning to get two Dacor's - an all gas range mod. EGR-30, and an electric
wall oven in another part of the kitchen. I am fine with the wall oven, as
it mounts nearly flush with the cabinet front. But I just discovered that
the range is 24 in. deep, from back of oven door to the back of the unit,
the same depth of the lower cabinets we are planning. Trouble is, that
leaves 2 inches of bullnose, 2 inches of door, and 3 inches of handle
sticking proud of the cabinet faces. The "look" troubles me. Looks like the
stove was too big to fit in the cabinet fronts.The salesman tells me that
due to heat from the door opening, which has no edge or frame, designed
for that mount, so there is no oven heat escaping directly onto the adjacent
cabinet. Other brands, like the Viking, etc, have framed oven doors (at some
cost in capacity), and therefore may be mounted flush with the cabinet
doors, a look I really favor.
Since Dacor is my preference, what are my options, short of changing brands?
- mount it flush anyway, and line the cabinet edge with sheet steel, etc.?
- learn to live with the popped-out look of the front of the range?

All ideas welcome!
