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.

I would have thought this was possible albeit a messy job. I cannot recommend induction hobs enough. I’m on my third. Absolutely love them for speed, cleanliness and economical values. Some are plug in and some are hard wired so you need to see which one yours is. All of mine have been hard wire.

Does it look like the glass has dulled? In which case I bet it is a film that just needs cleaning off. The hob manufacturers generally recommend you don’t use any abrasive cleaners but personally I don’t think the spray and wipe ones will cut it here. So I would look at the instruction manual to use their recommended cleaner first. Then if that cleaner and some elbow grease doesn’t work I would try a cream cleaner and a scourer for non stick pans. I’m sure there will be posters that wouldn’t go against the manufacturers instructions but in your situation I would be pragmatic and feel the visible problem now needs tackling. Lastly you can call the engineer and have the glass replaced. Of course there is a cost implication but this is what they do if you break the glass.

Thank you Jonathon and Isla - you’re both right of course to highlight power requirements but in this case any additional power feeds can be brought in through the wall so the floor won’t need to be modified. Cabinet sizing is definitely a consideration though - the gap is 91 cm so we plan to use a 90 cm drawer unit and make up the difference either side with a filler of some kind. As for a fix or replacement range cooker, I’m afraid we fundamentally don’t like them and bending over to take heavy, hot food trays out of ovens is becoming increasingly difficult for us. We have previously fitted wall-mounted ovens and an induction hob and that combination works perfectly for us so that’s the solution we’re aiming for. This is all part of a refurb/refresh for the kitchen but we don’t really want to throw away the perfectly good granite that’s already in place.
