Hi, the cooktop in the middle is only a problem if it is a 2.8 plate. Then the bottom is also a problem because it is too close to the cooktop. The easiest option is not to install the bottom. It doesn't make sense anyway. No other manufacturer uses something like that. The cooktop is completely wrapped in plastic, only fans are installed. The cable must be properly fastened at the back, that's all. With Metod, any common refrigerator can be installed. What I wonder is, is the socket for the hood in that spot? What about the window? That's at first glance. Best regards, Sascha
