Not really sure what you are asking, but cookers are often 600mm and designed to fit between units rather than in a seperate unit. You should be able to fit suitable brackets to the outside of the units either side and slide it straight in.

What width is your cooker?

I guess you're talking about an intergrated oven. The housing usually has a small plinth along the front and a runner each side for the oven to sit on.

Something like this.

Hi

Sorry for confusion. It is a single 600mm integrated oven as in the pic darrenba posted.

I have a brand new 600m base unit BUT have been told i need a 600m integrated oven base unit ?

Looks like i could just put some batten/shelf in and 'raise' the oven....??

Cheers

Yes you can modify the unit and place a shelf for the oven to sit on BUT you'll need a 110mm fillet in the same material/design to cover the gap left.

remove all the back panel as you won't get it in, also remove the front rail to allow heat behind the oven to escape. lots of overheated appliances are due to lack of ventilation above and below the app.

measure down 600mm from the worktop and that is where the top of the shelf should be, assuming its a 720 unit you will need two support side fillers around 80mm- 84mm. or 90mm with 15mm units.
