Currently my dishwasher fits perfect underneath my counter top with almost no room to spare. Tile under the dishwasher and your range too.

The kitchen had a linoleum floor about ten years old which had been laid over thick plywood. We hired a dear friend a professional tiling contractor to put a ceramic tile floor in our kitchen. The tile was maybe a 3 4 inch thick and because the dishwasher was at a lower level it was a tremendous pain in the ass to get out. My opening is now 34 3 4 and that is how tall the dishwasher is.

The cardboard is not needed if a tile or hardwood floor are planned but. Is there at least 34 1 2 of space from the floor to the underside of the counter.
