Stored items must respect the installation's required clearances and protective arrangement. Long utensils can reach areas not intended for contact.
What the observation means
A drawer that closes does not prove that everything inside is clear of the hob's underside or airflow. The model's installation instructions govern the space.
A useful next step
Keep items within the permitted storage arrangement and tell the service team about any contact or new noise. Do not remove a protective panel to gain capacity. If electrical or overheating symptoms occurred, stop use and arrange assessment rather than simply emptying the drawer and restarting.
Manuals and supporting guidance
Model-specific instructions take priority. These references support the practical principles discussed here; they do not diagnose your appliance.
