Urgent! Bosch induction range- quick question

2 years ago

last modified: 2 years ago

I have the Bosch 800 series 30 inch slide-in induction range on order for delivery in Dec (fingers crossed) and I’m also having my countertops replaced. Today the countertop people are coming out to measure and template for the new quartz counters, 3 cm with eased edge + full height backsplash is what I’ve ordered.

I know the top of the range extends over the counters slightly. What, if any, considerations should the countertop people be aware of? My existing counters are granite. The house is only four years old and should be level. I tried looking in the installation manual, but it seemed to reference the leveling feet- so maybe I don’t need to worry about the countertops?

I just want to make sure my new counters will accommodate this range. Thanks!

I worried so much about this. The installers somehow had no problem leveling, but the range did not fit evenly on the front edge of the countertops, so on one side it was even with the front edge of the countertop and on the other side it sat back from the front edge. Drove my husband nuts that it was uneven. Eventually he pulled the range out and found that the electrical plug was not in the right position, so he had to do some adjustments and now the range fits perfectly. There is a thin piece of metal under the glass top overhang to buffer the glass top from the countertop--you can hardly see it. The top surface of my countertop is 36 1/4" from the floor and my countertop is 25 3/4" deep without backsplash tile. I have 5/8" clearance at the back of the range to accomodate future backsplash tile. I positioned the front of the range slightly back from the front edge of the countertop as you can see in the photo, because I liked it best in that position.

Quick Question on a Bosch and Miele Induction Top

The oven is replacing the under counter fridge/freezer. That is 27". To put in a 30" oven we would have to remove cabinets. Unless there is some way I don't know about to get a 30" oven in there. Update: due to the fact I have no idea if a Meile 30" or 36" induction would be able to go over another brand's 27" oven, I may be doing a 36" Bosch Benchmark because that 100% can go over an oven. Nice to know that I know of one certainty. Really hope that instead of the Bosch induction I can make a Miele work though.

Try rebooting it by turning power on and off at the main circuit. I have not gotten that error message but on very rare occasions the cooktop seems to freeze. If it was a computer you would press cont/alt/del but since it does not have that button we turn power on/off. this happens once every several months so we have not called repair guy out for this. I think that it is the downfall of all electronic equipment - all of them have mini-computers inside....

Bosch induction range flex zone question

Daisy - no, I haven’t. Our stovetop actually quit working and was recently replaced. After it was replaced it worked better than it had since day 1, so clearly there was something wrong with it from the start. I will test the flex zone this weekend and see if that has gone away or it still does that! I will let you know!

Installation questions for Bosch 800 induction range
Q
Comments (0)
I'm getting ready to have my countertop templated. The Bosch induction range is on back-order. The range has triangular wings on either side of the front edge of the range that supports the induction 3/4" countertop overlap. The installation instructions indicates that the countertop should be 25" deep to accommodate the range depth. Should I add a fraction of an inch to the 25" countertop depth to leave room for backsplash tile? If so, would an additional 1/2" be good to make space for the tile? Also, the instructions say to use soap to slide the range into position, but I'm worried that soap left on the quartz would damage the countertop. Couldn't I just remove the warming drawer and then slide the range into position with feet raised and then crawl under the range to lower feet?
