They have an induction hob and the hob has been bonded to the work top
at either side. Apparently its not silicon.

Any ideas on how to loosen the bond to remove the hob.

My understanding is hob has a metal lip that attaches to the worktop at
the sides.
The worktop is granite. Any prising to release it would crack the glass
hob.


Are you sure it isn't silicone? Ours was fitted professionally but I
watched it being done and they used clear silicone.

I'd try a thin blade to slowly try and cut it. You can get solvent,
perhaps a combination of solvent, blade, and gentle lifting from below
of the whole unit.


Mine was professionally fitted too, they didn't use any sealant.
(yes I know you can DIY granite but there are limits to what I can move
and 30 mm granite is not light.)

The hob came with a rubber strip glued along the edge and that presses
on the worktop through the weight of the hob.

There are spring clips fitted to the sides but they are there to stop
lateral movement.

To remove it you take out the drawer underneath and push upwards, if you
try and leaver it out it will break.
