Cooker widths have crept up in the 25 years since my kitchen was installed. Now I want to replace my gas cooker which is unreliable (and polluting) with an induction hob electric cooker. But the worktop gap is exactly 60 cm, and the space between the units is not much more.
I looked at a Beko cooker but they say they need 65 cm gap for a nominal 60 cm cooker, so there’s no chance of that.
The worktops are granite. I could possibly get 5 mm taken off (not 5 cm!) Can I get an induction hob cooker to fit? Or do I need a new kitchen?Having checked a couple the following will fit.
Hotpoint HDM67I9H2CB/U page 18 of instruction manual on website for measurements.Beko BDI6C55F install on page 13 on Beko site for manual also good. The 65cm gap refers to the edge distance from cooker to wall unit.
there may be others 😉

Thanks very much Don. It seems that the person on the Beko online “chat” support gave me wrong information: I explained the situation and they specifically wrote that it wouldn’t fit. I found it very hard to believe that a cooker needs 2.5 mm space on each side but they were definite about it. It was useful to look at the manual too, it raises an issue about power supply that I’ll put in a separate thread.
