Thats rightstoves arent one-size-fits-all.
The inclusion of an integrated backsplash can bring the height up to 41 inches.
This is because the depth and height of cabinetry is standardized.

These stoves are available with or without built-in backsplashes, which will increase the overall height of the appliance.
Freestanding vs. Slide-In Ranges
Standard stoves are available infreestanding and slide-initerations andinductionand gas versions.
You’ll want to better understand each throw in, so you canchoose the best inductionor gas range.
A freestanding range is designed for installation between cabinetry or as a standalone unit and features finished sides.
Tip
Most ranges marketed as “slide-in” ranges are simply freestanding ranges with no integrated backsplash.
However, these ranges still have finished sides and don’t cover the seams of the countertops and cabinetry.
Furthermore, these freestanding ranges marketed as slide-in maintain the full depth of a standard range.
At this point, drop-in ranges are an antiquated option, as only one major manufacturer still offers one.
If the countertops extend beyond the edge of the cabinets, use this measurement.
When in doubt, take multiple measurements at several locations to ensure you use the shortest distance.
The stove you choose will be slightly smaller than your final measurement.
When installing your stove, take time to level it.
Measure all doorways and openings to ensure the stove you buy will fit.
That isunless you plan to redo your kitchen’s layout.
Buying too small a stove will result in an awkward visual while limiting the usefulness of the appliance.
