Cabinet height above the hob

7 years ago

These cabinets above the hob look really low, is this a particular extractor or how did you overcome the height requirement?

There looks like there is a built in extractor above the hob but I think the gap is too small and would probably be an illegal installation in the UK.

Without me checking, I believe above gas hobs there has to be a 'combustible free' zone to the ceiling if you don't have an extractor, and if you do have an extractor then 750 mm clearance is the minimum gap in the absence of minimum requirement from the extractor manufacture.

This is a common problem with induction hobs i.e. They are too deep for a 30mm worktop with an undermounted oven. Personally I'd steer clear of the cheaper brands of induction hobs. I have a Bosch induction hob which is good but the AEG I had before that was better. The glass top on the Bosch marks easily. I'm also a lover of Neff products. Have a Neff oven.

I think the answer is, it depends... On what sort of cooking you do; how much pain you feel if you see a grease spot; what sort of things you want to put on the shelf and whether you will replace them often. Of course, you could just put glass doors, although the effect won't be the same. I applaud your choice of matt cabinet finish - super shiny finishes are such a pain to keep looking good.

Unless you like to cook a lot of fry-up's I think a fairly powerful extractor fan should still be effective even when set back a bit. If you really want to position it over the hob you could have a contractor build in a robust boxed in false wall onto which you could have a normal 60 or 50cm wide extractor hood mounted. It would have to be anchored well to support the weight, the electrician would need to allow more power cable and a longer flue but it shouldn't be all that expensive or difficult to do. You'd probably want to make the cupboard next to it an open one or check carefully that the door is still functional.

Latest advice appreciated on the best big induction downdraught hobs please (Berbel, Bora, Gaggenau, Siemens, Bosch or others). We want best steam and fat clearance rates, quietest motors, easy-clean (unsure re self-clean, ducted or recirulated air). Berbel's FaceBook page features lots of customer complaints regarding after-sales service and spare parts, but some seem due to Covid delays which we think is unavoidable; another mentions guests sitting "in a haze" from the recirculated air and obviously nobody wants that! We need to order very soon but definitely don't want ceiling extraction. Many thanks for prompt replies!
