Patrick

I was wandering if anyone would be able to give me some advice.

I have bought a Matsui electric fan oven (MSF60SS) and a Matsui gas hob (MGH60SS).

The MSF60SS oven has a cubic exterior (does not have a cut-down rear top, unlike the Candy oven that it is replacing).

When attempting to fit the MSF60SS oven, the rear top of the oven interferes with the gas inlet pipe for the Candy gas hob (presently fitted).

On examining the Matsui MGH60SS gas hob, the inlet pipe is angled across the rear of the MSF60SS oven and about 2 cm inside the rear surface of the oven, which is slightly worse than with the Candy hob (if put in the present hob position).

I have a 3 cm think worktop and the clearances for the two Matsui appliances are within those specified in their related manuals.

My question is, does anyone know if the MSF60SS oven and the MGH60SS gas hob are meant to be fitted in an oven-under-hob configuration, and is there any thing I can do to fit the two appliances in this config (I don’t want to book a gas man to connect the hob, if I then won’t be able to fit the oven).

Any suggestions would be gratefully received.

Thanks,
Patrick.

First of all Patrick, it’s important to highlight that any gas pipework can only be carried out by a competent and regulated installer who is approved by a recognised body to undertake the work.

Secondly, the appliance you have chosen is not considered as being very "fitter friendly" due to it’s shape yet to overcome this it is important that the installer, whoever you do choose, recognises that the pipework must remain clear of the oven body and to do this he will have to install the pipes above the rear shell and possibly have to make the connection at the rear of the adjacent cabinet and linked to a gas isolation valve that must remain accessible.

This is a configuration that most kitchen installers capable of undertaking the work, will have encountered many times so it isn’t too out of the ordinary.

Good luck and if in doubt as to the qualifications of an installer, you can ask for their registration number which can then be verified with the regulator they are sanctioned by.
