Fitting integral dishwasher - some advice please

[Pscylo]

I've popped the dishwasher in place and it's working fine, just need to make it look fitted now. Hopefully my description will suffice but if I have to I'll pop a photo up.

I have a horseshoe shaped kitchen, on the right hand upright of the U, there is the sink and worktop, the bottom bar is the dishwasher and oven (the left hand upright is irrelevant, but it's fridge freezer and worktop). I had to put the dishwasher on the bottom bar because the blasted gas meter is to the left of the sink where I wanted to put it.

Anyhoo!

It's plumbed in, has electric supply, but just need to fit it in properly. The dishwasher came from ebay so I don't have fitting instructions but think I can work most of it out just need some advice as to the best way of doing it. I've bought some sticky back silver stuff to pop under the worktop though haven't done it yet as the dishwasher is currenty at its lowest setting. I presume the two screws and 2 adjustable legs at the front are there to lift it flush to the underside of the worktop, thereafter screw through the holes to fix it to the worktop and through the sides to the adjacent units?

The latter part of that paragraph is the bit I've got some difficulty with. The gap is for a 500 door (its a slimlime DW) and the dishwasher it self is something like 46cm across. So how do I pad those gaps out to give me sometihng to screw the DW to. I'm sure there's a straightforward answer (cut a fillet to pad it?)

One side of the gap is the corner post, the other is side of the oven. I can see how I would fix something to the reverse of the corner post (screw straight into the back of it), but can't immediately think of a means of fixing a fillet to the side of the oven. There is some melamine/chipboard to the side of the oven but it's not plainly obvious to me how to fit a fillet at 90 degrees to it (assuming that is how to do it). Maybe a batten to the reverse so it screws to the sode of the pver housing and the back of the fillet?

As I've said on previous posts, ask me anything about beer, pinball, graphic design or printing (not necessarily in that order), but DIY is relatively new to me. I'm having to do a lot myself as I've not been happy with the tradesmen I've employed so far. I could go on, but I won't - I might post some pics of teh shoddy work later, but just gave up with them. Of the 10 or so trademen that have been here only one would get an invite back.

does your oven sit in a housing?

[Pscylo]

sort of - the housing itself has been "built up" as ithe unit it's in is an under over drawer housing which I think is originally designed to screw into a full unit either side so there isn't a full side to the unit.

Some pics, a bit difficult to make out. The ine showing teh left shows the corner post, the one:showing the right shows the "short" panel to the side of the oven (the black bit is the glass over door). I didn't fit this so don't really know why it was done this way but that's what I have to work with.

Can you move the dishwasher to one side so that you only have one "gap" to fill?
