Britannia SI-9T – How to access the control panel to change thermostat

[Slaugd]

Hello, I am struggling the get the electric hob to slide back so I can access the control panel to change a thermostat, I have removed the necessary screws at the back, so how is partially lifting at the rear, but something at the front is causing resistance to it sliding back, cant figure where additional screws at the front are that’s stopping it or how to access them. Any help appreciated

If I remember correctly, you need to lift the hob from the rear and push the hob forwards to release it.

Thank you – This was bang on and apples to model SI-10T as well (I put the wrong model), I ended up paying a former Britannia engineer who works for another firm £100 to do it. Basically, it just needed a little more upward pressure and was caught a little on a side bracket as you lift up (hence the resistance), The trick was to “wobble” it forward once lifted up, I was being a bit t paranoid that I would break the glass or something inside if too heavy-handed.

Now I know what to do next time a regulator/thermostat/simmerstat goes so £100 is well spent.
