Built under oven with induction hob above.

7 years ago

We are unable to have the induction hob above the oven with a 30mm worktop as it doesn't leave enough height for the induction hob height and 20mm clearance required. Did you have these issues?

This was not an induction cooktop and some ovens have a cavity behind the controls so perhaps that was the condition here.

Ok, Thanks for getting back to me. I'm going to have to drop the oven down and lose the drawer below in order to get the room or an an induction hob.

Hi I have the Novy Panorama 1841. I am not sure about the grille type exit point but we don't have one. The previous owners had the kitchen fitted. The unit is less than 3 years old. The right side of the hob is flashing errors and it has taken over 7 working days to get an engineer to come and replace the board. The hob is brilliant when working and really quiet. I think the aftersales service (through Aga Rangemaster) is far from efficient. With the Brexit delays you would think they might stock a few spart parts to mitigate the delays. Its been two weeks without a hob. A five year guarantee is excellent. I could recommend the product but not the aftercare.

Mine was an 800 before I removed the glass - the main fan section is smaller of course so I presume that it’s the actual canopy that makes the difference ie if the extractor canopy is 800 with an 800 hob then most of the steam that rises, should hit the top of the canopy and be drawn towards the extractor. Even though we removed the glass on ours, it will be set into a suspended wood canopy so in effect, the steam should do the same thing. I’m told induction hobs are super steamy, ha ha. We got a Neff extractor which is also v quiet so hoping it does the trick!

my thinking was the table could be pushed flush with the island the majority of the time leaving a gap to walk past of approx 140cm. Thats with a 110cm gap between island and units, 90cm island and 90cm table. Or if you rotate the table and have it pushed with one end against the island, a 120cm table would sit 4 and leave 110cm to pass which is the same as the gap between island and units. If it was an extending table it can be rotated 90 degrees on the rare occasion more seating is required. Yes, it would mean it would probably close off that side of the room but if it's not a daily occurance? Some compromises will have to be made if you really want to fit everything in that space unfortunately.

Induction hob in kitchen possible with the electrics I have in there?

@Owen Train You said in your original post that you have 2x standard plug sockets in the island so i assumed you want to use those, without looking at your electrics i 'assume' that these are on a ring already from the fuseboard and has 2.5mm cable, so you could use these with the appliances that i'd stated. For a 'hard wired' induction hob these are more powerful and needs a minimum of 6mm cable coming from its own dedicated 32amp breaker/fuse in the fuseboard and this would suit a 7.5kwatt hob. Most single ovens run at about 3kwatts so these can be plugged (there is a rating plate in the oven somewhere), the induction hobs that come with plugs fitted also run at about 3kwatts and so can be plugged. Now if your existing sockets on the island will need to be moved/broken into altered in any way (you can change face plates but thats about all) this then comes under Part P of building regs as kitchens are considered high risk areas (and i've seen plenty of dodgy wiring in them to agree) and the work needs to be carried out by a 'competant' person (certified part p electrician) who can then test and inspect the work done as a minor works and notify building control so the work is recorded. If you want to run a new supply from your fuseboard that also comes under Part P but is considered major works which may mean a lot more testing of all your house electrics. The electrician is also responsible for Part F compliance which covers extraction and ventilation and by removing a ducted extractor in an existing kitchen you are making the ventilation worse, so thats why you need something like a bathroom fan but it should be at least 60 litres/sec as its not over the hob. Your existing appliances you say are connected to junction boxes under the sink (I assume you mean just a junction box and not a switch spur or anything) and are on the 'kitchen ring' now these should have a means of isolation (ie a switch or just a fuse) looking at your photo you have a couple of switches to the right of your hob, these look like switch fuse spurs and i imagine either one controls the oven and the other controls the ignitor for the hob, or one does the oven and hob and the other is the extractor, both are fine, so the junction boxes are fused down and fed from the switch fused spurs. As your kitchen is only a few years old, part P has been about for a long time now so you should have an electrical report for the previous work, dig that out, have look on line at various hobs you like and get the details (ie how many watts or kilowatts required) and get 3 electricians to quote you for the works that you want doing, and then decide if its worth doing, also don't forget you'll also get another bill from your gas man for disconnecting and capping off you gas hob to factor in.

Make sure you go by the specs for spacing and get the same brands oven/cooktop. Otherwise, warranties could be voided.
