I want to replace an old 1990s Siemens ceramic hob with a new one (Siemens ET 651HE17E).
The brochure says it needs a hole in the worktop of 560 mm x 490-500 mm. The hole in our worktop is a few millimetres smaller than this.
It's difficult to measure exactly because I have to bend double with torch and tape, and never get the same darned measurement twice.
The old hob is a Siemens ET 72020/02. It needed a hole of 560 mm (plus or minus 3 mm) x 488 mm (plus or minus 3 mm).
Does anyone know how much tolerance these hobs will take? What are the chances the new one will fit?
Cheers, Chris Adams.
