Is it? I never knew that.

Oh well, a bit of rust never did any harm.

With some hobs the installation instructions specify that /nothing/
should be used between hob and worktop (unless the worktop is tiled).
But since we're not told what make and model this hob is...


I have installed two Bosch induction hobs at different locations.
Neither has any sticky tape. The first one had a metal surround and I
could push it out my removing the draw underneath.Â* The second one is
just ceramic and has to be leavered out using a thin blade. There is
an oven underneath.


My Bosch induction hob has tape around the edge, it came pre-fitted with
the tape.
There is nothing to stop water going under it without and you aren't
supposed to silicon them in.

That is interesting. I have just tried to push the first one I bought
out from underneath and it does not want to move so maybe it is stuck in
somehow. It failed when it was new and a Mr Bosch had to come and change
the circuit boards so it did come out a few times when it was new. It
has fans and has to have an air slot uner the worktop for cooling. The
newer one did not need a slot. Its instructions just say not to use sealant.
