How should I seal a ceramic electric hob in a work top ??
I have a Matsui touch switch hob to replace a Baeumatic one . It is the same
size but the clips just press on the sides of the cut out in the work top,
to keep it in place , so you cant tighten up to pull it down .There is no
metal surround to the ceramic top and it has foam tape around directly
under the glass, which I presume I just press down to seal, is this good
enough or is there a special product to do this sealing .I have looked for
instructions on the net but no luck Thanks E

My Creda ceramic hob is held down by two clips and the seal is formed by
foam tape under a metal surround that forms the outer edge of the ceramic
top, as per the installation instructions. I recently had to remove the hob;
the seal just peeled off and I was able to reuse it. There were no signs of
any leakage from the worktop to the underside of the hob. If you stick the
seal down it will probably tear if you ever need to remove the hob.

I wouldn't bother. That way it's much easier to take it out,
drop it in the skip and fit a decent one.

I thought Matsui was Dixons' own-brand for (really, really) cheap audio
stuff in the 1980s.

Yep, I remember them, buttons and knobs that would fall off in the shop
!!!!
Not quite the solid machined aluminium of Musical Fidelity stuff !!!

My god how I hate bad HiFi :-(
