🔌  Appliance

I'm replacing a 16-year-old 30" wall oven with a Whirlpool model. The manual calls for a 24" cutout depth, but mine is actually 23-7/16". The actual oven depth is 23.0" (plus 1/8" for screw heads). Will it be safe as is, or must I install a shim around the outside border to bring the depth to 24"? Additionally, the manual calls for a piece of foam tape behind the control panel, but it's missing, and the part number does not exist. What should I use for this?
