Can't see an easy way to remove this hotplate and replace it with an

Can anyone please give me advice on taking out the hob with minimal
damage to surroundings?

Remove the oven first - usually if you open the door you will see screws in the edge holding it to the cabinet sides.

The clamps holding the hob to the worktop can then be loosened and swivelled from the underside.

Thanks Owain, I didn't want to start pulling too much apart if there
was an easier way.

Once you have it out (or maybe even before) you might want to check that
the cable from the consumer unit is big enough for the induction hob
that you intend to install. Induction can take a whole lot more current
than a standard hob.


Great tip! Thanks.
