I have just had a new kitchen handmade by a company who provide bespoke unpainted kitchens. They were nice and helpful through the process and asked me to send links to all our appliances to ensure an accurate fit. In fact I had to get the oven delivered to them beforehand to ensure an exact fit.
Mostly everything has been fine but we are now coming to install the induction hob and double oven and have discovered through the installer that more space is required under the induction hob than has been allowed, for safety reasons.
This is something that has come out of the installation manual which comes with the product but is also available online.
AIBU to expect that if the kitchen company ask for details of appliances, they should ensure they have allowed correct clearances?
If I had known, I would have got advice from an electrician before purchasing the products but I didn't even know such big clearances would be required on these types of products. I made the kitchen company aware that I don't have much knowledge of this type of thing but would use a proper installer when the time came.
At the very least, should the kitchen company have made it clear that they were only checking for kitchen unit size purposes and any other requirements would need to be given as directed by a qualified electrician or installer?
