Hob · Identification and fitted access

What should I do if a built-in hob moves in its worktop opening?

Stop using an unstable or uncertain installation and obtain appropriate assessment. A fitted hob should not be treated as a loose countertop appliance.

What the observation means

Movement can affect seals, supports and concealed connections. Pressing it down or adding weight does not establish that its fixings are correct.

A useful next step

Record when the movement began and any worktop changes. Do not pull it out, tighten hidden clips blindly or apply adhesive as a repair. The appliance and installation should be checked together before normal cooking resumes.

Manuals and supporting guidance

Model-specific instructions take priority. These references support the practical principles discussed here; they do not diagnose your appliance.
