first you need to decide if you can install a vented hood. this would be more efficient than recirculating types
recirculating types needs to change charcoal filter.
try to fit in a 900mm hood as this size is more common to find. a 900mm hood matches a 600mm hob better. its only 150mm more on each side.

btw that space for your fridge (1550) will not be tall enough for most fridge out there. maybe can get a single door fridge of that size only.

Now your hob will be bigger than your hood
Since you are going for a rinnai hood then you might as well get their hob as well.

I withdrew my post due to the cost of domino hobs

Nowadays 600 size gas hobs are almost non existence. If TS insist on a 600 hood, then a domino hob might fit nicely but the higher cost...

The hood should be slightly bigger than the hob or at least the same size. I haven't seen one installed the opposite way...yet

I had a rinnai hob before. It works well and rinnai is suppose to be good for their gas hobs.

Btw who drew your kitchen for you? Yourself or kitchen place?

I dont know how critical is each mm for your space but off hand, i see that the base section where the hob is, is a bit not correct. if you gonna put a 650-750 hob, the base carcass should be around 900 and you get two doors of 450 each. you are only left about 300 - just nice for a pull out bottle/condiments tray. as in the picture now, the hob wont be able to fit because of the framework in the way.

i havent look at the wall section, on how it will align with the base

also to remember to add 20mm on the edges so that the drawers/doors can open.

I thought you were looking for a 70-75cm gas hob? Why need to change to 60cm now?

For electric, you got two popular choices - vitroceramic or induction
I dont like to use the term vitroceramic as its just pointing out to the "glass" material. For me the correct term is radiant hob. Anyway dont worry about the terms.

Radiant hobs glows red when its turn on, radiating heat to the ceramic glass top and to your pot/pan.

Induction hobs also has a glass top but it doesnt radiate heat. Simple explanation, it generates a magnetic field which in turn makes the pot/pan itself heat up. This is more efficient since its not transferring heat from one area to another like the ceramic hobs. It is also very fast and it doesnt heat up your kitchen surroudings. But there is a catch, you need induction ready pots and pans. This is not a problem, there's plenty nowadays. Clay pots wont work, aluminum pans wont work. You need pots and pans containing iron. Ask for induction ready cookware

The reason why I think you cant find 600 gas hobs in Asia anymore is because once you put a wok on it, the other burners are blocked. That's why they came out with Asian style gas hobs which you see nowadays - around 700-900 wide. But for electric hobs, 600 hobs are plenty.

btw i bought a Teka Induction hob - 3 burners, yes 600mm. Still in the box though cause my reno havent even started yet. My hood is Teka as well - 900mm. My kitchen space is smaller/shorter than yours I think, only 6ft and I have to put a sink there as well.

Just go with a 700-800 gas hob, it wont eat up too much of your counter space. It wont "match" your 600 hood though. Or if you still insist on 600 gas hobs, go the modular way as suggested by another forumer by using Domino hobs. Two of these will fit your requiremen

if you go the induction way it would be expensive. i bought mine at 2k and that is after 50% off during their warehouse sale.

for others you can take a look here - http://www.xammax.my/cooking/hobs/induction-hobs

Fisher Paykel is even more expensive than Teka. Here is that hob you wanted in Singapore

It was a lucky break for me. I actually planned on getting this model like more than a year ago but when I check early this year, I found that it's all gone! I check with Teka and they told me that there are new models now, the one I wanted has been discontinued. Anyway long story short, I was told later that they do have two last pieces at the warehouse sale. I bought one of them. Brand new in box. I also managed to buy an opened box hood and oven, oven was 60% off.

Hmmm...I'm not sure about the warranty period
I bought in May. If it's one year, it's already half gone and I don't even know if they work

Got. Every year in May. But new models susah sikit. You can get 30% from the shops now and get a new set

There is another way but you missed it too.
During Homedec or Archidex, you can reserve the display models for that day. They are new and heavily discounted. But negative side is everyone would have molested it for five days. It's not too bad since there are no physical buttons to play with.

I emailed them and ask before, they said refer to my sales receipt. I look but it didn't say for how long but I remember they told me it's still one year from the purchased date. I'm not 100% certain as I can't remember

It's good that you've made up your mind.
Now you can shop for your induction ready cookware
There's a sale on Zwilling now. Whole set of pots and pan around Rm600
http://www.offerstation.com/sales-warehous...ehouse-sale.htm

Singapore what also cheaper and better la...
why you think i drove down just to get a sink?

I already posted about the smaller size IR421 3 pages back...
As for the power...they rate it at all burners doing full power. In real life practice, you won't be using all zones at maximum power. You can't anyway, the hob won't let you.

My IR631 has three burners. At max, each individual burner can do 1800/3000/3200 but the maximum norminal power is 6400 watt, therefore the ampere require will be 27 amp only. A 32amp breaker would be more than sufficient.

IR641 also has a max nominal rating of 6400 watts. If you want to add all the highest wattage for each burner, it will be 9400 watts....lol. Simply put, you don't add all the zone's wattage to get the total power

Please ask Teka or whatever brand you are buying
