Drop the hob down onto the sealing strips and tighten the clips. It’s now time to call the gas fitter; you can find a local fitter here. This is just a guess, I would think the reason they say do not use a sealant, just in case anything goes wrong with the hob and it needs to be taken out. If the sealing strip that is currently attached to your hob is no longer protecting it as it should, you should consider replacing it. After he left I was getting it square and trying to remove the excess foam. I noticed the problem described above where the stainless cover wasn't sitting down onto the worktop. The clamps only have so much pull and they're on the corners and the chassis flexes against the foam.Don’t assume that just because the gas hob or the connection hose is brand new that it can’t possibly leak. Defects can occur during manufacture and also things can get damaged during storage and transport. While applying grout sealer isn’t difficult, it can be a bit tedious if you have a large area to cover. Still, it shouldn’t take more than a couple of hours at most to finish the task. Always read the specific product application directions before applying sealer, but as a general guideline this is how the job is done.

Having said that, I cooked a three-pan meal on the hob last night and throughout the chassis was cold and the stainless cover only got warm (the oven is not in yet). At least on this hob there's very little coupling between the top cover and chassis/flange and plenty of air movement. I was curious how hot my silicone would get. Not very hot it seems. Worktops are stone which would help keep things cool. Formulated for both interior and exterior use, you can also use this sealer to protect outdoor tiled surfaces on patios or around swimming pools. There are guidelines for “internal” kitchens, where a gas hob is fitted. This can occur when, for example, a conservatory has been built over the external wall, making the kitchen internal. Essentially this is all common sense; you want it away from any draughts that might blow out the flame leaving gas flowing into your kitchen. which silicon is not really designed for. Secondly, and this might include some sink units, the bottom edge of the fitment is thin, and the weight of the fitment on fresh silicon(moreso if screwed down) would tend to pull the fitment right down to the worktop, thus destroying the intended seal.Wipe excess sealer off the tiles, unless you are using a product meant to seal both grout and tile.
