Hi,
I am building a house and my builder made a mistake by only leaving 200mm gap between my cooktop and sink in the kitchen, although I have made a variation (signed off) to increase the gap to 400mm.
After my inspection (rangehood, oven & sink installed), I made a complain about it and they said they are willing to the cooktop but not the rangehood & oven, with the comment below.
"I see a problem with this location being 400mm from sink because it brings 2 burners under the overhead cabinets the heat will make the laminate on the overhead cabinet come unstuck &it will go discoloured in this area of the cabinet I can get a new benchtop made but we will not take any responsibility for what damage occurs to overhead cabinet if hotplate is not central under rangehood"
I believe there is a mandatory requirement to have the rangehood directly above the burner? Can you please advise.
Thank you and regards,
Sylvia
