Hi
Quick question, more confirmation required actually as I think i know what my only options are.
We're having a kitchen fitted. The worktop is 27mm oak. The gas cooking hob my wife has bought states the aperture needs to be 40mm depth.
It's to be fitted over a built-under double-oven.
Essentially the worktop is too thin for this gas hob (or vice-versa). If it's fitted as is, a good 13mm will protrude under the worksurface.
The double-oven has 17mm gap between the top of the oven and the top of the oven fascia which will butt up to the worktop.
Effectively this is reduced to 4mm once the hob is in place.
The oven is a John Lewis JLBIDU712 Built-Under Double Electric Oven.
I can't find information on the gap needed for heat management etc so i have to assume the full 17mm gap is required.
So my choices are:
- Go ahead and fit it
- Try and find a 30mm depth gas hob that is acceptable to my wife.
- Fork out for the extra to upgrade to 40mm oak worktops
Anybody got experience with a similar situation? I've still got a month before the kitchen is delivered and fitted to resolve this.
