    The spec on my range cooker (gas hob, electric oven) was for a 5mm gap on either side. It was a pain, too easy for food and liquids to disappear through the 5mm gap and impossible to clean. I would either go for flush fitting or a decent gap.
    Could you fit sealing strip between cooker and worktop still leaving the 5mm gap for air.

    I get round this by using a length of the tough type of silver foil pleated and then tucked into the top of the gap so that it catches the drips and spills.
