We had to go to our designer to sign off the drawing for the worktop. I needed time to go over it in more detail, so I took it away with me to study it.
Don came round again at our request to look at the installation of the hob. I thought that it was a plug and play system with the oven, but that wasn’t the case.
There was a lot of confusion, and contradictory information in the installation manual. The main confusion was the illustration in the manual was not the same as the actual oven. I contacted Bosch customer service who were very little help. In the end I was told that the hob could be mounted above the oven, but it would need a separate circuit.
So Don and I both discussed the issue and took off the removable covers to see what was going on. The largest one exposed a large circuit board, but the power terminals were tucked away. We finally agreed that I would need an electrician to fit a new outlet for the hob. That did put my mind at ease because the thought of drilling holes in the oven top filled my head with dread.
I assembled the additional six inch wide unit that will be used for spices and oils. I still have a number of doors and drawer fronts to assemble, I need to finish those by the week end.
