Browse Forums Kitchen Corner 1 Mar 22, 2014 7:39 pm Hi, My question is if this is possible, we have a gas cooktop and hope to move our electric oven (600x600) from the wall unit to underneath the gas cooktop. There appears to be room underneath but there is a gas pipe running through the cupboard just worried if electricity should not be close to gas?? Is this possible, do people have this kind of setup? Thanks Re: Gas cooktop with electric oven underneath?? 2Mar 22, 2014 8:16 pm We are having that set up as standard, with a 900mm wide. No issue was raised, in fact they are putting a drawer underneath. Re: Gas cooktop with electric oven underneath?? 3Mar 23, 2014 8:52 pm We're having a gas cooktop and 2 electric ovens underneath. No issues raised either Re: Gas cooktop with electric oven underneath?? 4Mar 24, 2014 5:52 am Its fine but the gas pipe should be a flexible hose when it runs through the same cabinet as the oven, the join to the solid pipework should be in the next cupboard along. Note: that information is as per my gasfitter who installed our gas cooktop above electric oven. The previous owners had diy-ed it and literally had the pipe and join sitting on top of the powerpoint using it as support. The oven was also sitting on top of some MDF not secured in any way either.

Hi you've answered my concerns, the flexible hose we don't have ours is a solid copper pipe (I guess) and it is in the cupboard directly under the cooktop where the oven needs to go, the pipe is what had me worried as I would think it cuts into the depth too far. I will have to get a gas plumber out to move all this you have now explained what we need so that's great thanks BTW do you mind if I ask how much you paid a gasfitter to install your cooktop? Thanks My daughter and son in law are about to start building, they are having a 600mm induction cook top and 900mm oven.
