After 20 years in the apartment, the time has come to replace an oven and a hob.
In spite of calls to the manufacturer's helpline, I am still wondering about the necessary clearance between a single built in electric oven and induction hob.
A hob above a drawer with the dividing panel = 10mm per install diagram
A hob above an oven = 20mm per a verbal discussion over the phone and an email
The worktop is 40mm thick. The current hob's fixing points project down 2mm
The single oven hole is 600mm tall plus/minus 2mm
Looking at the technical drawings on their website I have 30mm from the top of the oven to the top of the oven hole.
The problem is that any induction hob is likely to be 52mm deep which is 12mm below the underside of the worktop.
So 30mm - 12mm = 18mm or may be less when the minimum is set at 20mm.
I am a little mystified as to why the manufacturers can sell products that do not fit according to their install instructions/tolerances.
I don't want to order something that will have its safety compromised because the products are too close.
Particularly do not want the induction hob to start heating up the oven!!!
Any experiences/comments are welcome!
