Replacing solid plate hob

[golcarlilly]

We had a disaster yesterday, one of the rings of our solid plate hob got left on all day (god knows how!) and melted two of the switches, we inherited the hob and oven when we bought the house last year and I really hate the hob!!,

We will have to replace it as it is beyond repair, my question is can I replace it with a ceramic or halogen hob and can we do it ourselves or will we need to get someone in? (the oven is below it and is an electric one)

Pretty simple job.
Turn the power to both oven and hob off.
Remove the oven, you'll then have access to the fittings holding the hob in place (I'm assuming it's been fitted correctly). Release it, turn it over, disconnect the wiring.
You may have to enlarge the hole for your new hob.
Wire it up as per the instructions that will be in the box, fit to worktop, replace oven, turn power back on.
