The fun kitchen..and realistically not the hardest thing to replace if one fell out of love with pattern after few years

Hi HU-826087018 and dreamer To try and clear up this situation as there is some wrong or unclear advice being offered here. First, as LOL S said correctly Gas Regulations require 200mm clearance away from any combustible material from the outer edge of the Burner. Secondly "Stone" is not the same as "Reconstituted Stone" where natural stone is not combustible so the clearance regulation here does not apply, however Reconstituted Stone (like Caesarstone, etc, etc) are combustible because these materials contain combustible polymer resins to bind the pulped-up stone particles together, hence the name "Reconstituted Stone".Caesarstone and other types of Reconstituted Stone will burn so it needs to be 200mm away from the Gas Burner, irrespective of the type of wall behind it dreamer. So to try and alleviate your stress HU-826087018 and determine if you have a problem, you need to ask if your splashback is Natural Stone or is it Reconstituted Stone and if it is Reconstituted Stone then you have a problem that your Builder needs to rectify immediately. I hope this helps, Malcolm.

To be honest i haven't used it much without the dial, only when i switch it to fry pan setting (love that feature) and on/off but i feel its much better quality than the previous Bosch and Fisher and paykel cooktops ive used. It just responds straight away. Yes i find it doesnt cut out unless there is quite a lot of overflow from pots whereas when i had a bosch it drove me nuts as it seemed to stop just with a small amount of water and even after i had mopped it up it took ages before being able to use it again. This is one of the downsides of induction, but there are lots of advantages and certainly doesnt bother me nearly as much now.  In terms of size, mine only has 3 hotplates, which i deliberated over for some time as most have at least 4, i worked out that i only probably.want to use 4 at once one time a year and i havent regretted it. But only you know if you need all going at once and how big your pots are. I dont use the extra features much, like the flex zone but when i do they are fantastic. I couldn't cook gravy in a baking pan on the stove top without it.  Mine has a little silver strip around the outside which is slightly lower than the cooktop which needs to be wiped down properly after each use to avoid food getting stuck but not a deal breaker. PS i absolutely love my Neff oven, the food comes out perfect every time at the exact time.   Would absolutely recommend the oven. I dont have the steam one, but i do have the door that tucks inside the oven when open and its a genius idea, so easy to access inside.  Would definitely buy another Neff as far superior to any other ive used.
