Probably the electronics in the hob don't like the heat.

Possibly. Or the design of the hob is that significant magnetic flux leaks
out underneath and will heat the metal work of the oven just like it heats
the pans on top...


Best not store saucepans or tins of beans in the cupboard underneath it
then?


Immediately below ours we store only wooden chopping boards etc. We
were advised against storing anything metal in there.
