Electric oven width help

Hi
 Just wondering if anybody has a Beko KDC653 freestanding oven? 
I’m looking to replace an old Creda Aspire Solarplus and the worktop gap is 59.8cm. The Creda is about 55cm width so has gaps each side which isn’t great.
I think the width of the worktop gap is to accommodate a standard 60cm width oven but would be useful to know the exact width of the Beko before ordering.
Any help appreciated.

    Beko's website states 60cm but only by seeing one and actually measuring it will you be certain.

    Yes, that’s best.
    Appliance Online website says standard size is 59.7cm across all models of this size.
    That should just go in.

    OP says it's an electric oven.

    My experience says that there is always some bit that's not mentioned when you measure these things.
    They give a box like measurement - and that's sort of what you look for too - but in reality there always seems to be some essential bit sticking out that they don't include.
    My fitted electric oven (inherited and 20yrs old) seems to vent forwards. Is there anything at the back like the cable that connects to the mains or vents that add that little bit more?

    I can rise and shine - just not at the same time!

    Just the 6mm power cable.

    Have measured in store. 59cm width exactly so should fit snug without the gaps.
    Thanks.
