ᐅ Induction cooktop directly next to a tall cabinet?

Hello,

I am still working with the planner. Ideally, I would like to have the countertop and directly next to it the tall cabinet with the oven.

Now the software always gives a warning. Is my idea really that unreasonable?

Yes, that’s it. There is not enough wood left at the cutout of the countertop. It is also very impractical, as there is no space for a pan handle or for maneuvering. I had no choice but to install the oven cabinet with only a 6cm (2.4 inches) gap to the wall and the cooktop above it. This just works, but the distance should definitely not be any smaller.

Also, it’s not ideal to have a cover panel there. It will always be exposed to heat and splashes. If the cover panel is light-colored or possibly absent (meaning just the plain white carcass), it can quickly become ugly and yellowish. On top of that, the 25-year warranty could become void because of this.

As mentioned above, not optimal.

The required clearances should be specified in the installation manual for the cooktop. If these are not followed, you may face difficulties with warranty claims and your insurance!!!

I find the layout somewhat impractical. We viewed this apartment last week, and it was arranged similarly—there was hardly any room to move around.

Hi,

as mentioned several times and as you yourself have noted, you should definitely avoid placing the cooktop on the tall cabinet.

If you have set up your kitchen in the planner, just upload a picture of it and we can all discuss the best way to solve your cooktop issue.

Best regards
