How to Check the Levelness of Your Neff Induction Hob After Installation
Installing a new hob can be an exciting experience, but it is important to ensure that everything is set up correctly. One key aspect that many users might overlook is checking the levelness of the hob. An uneven hob can lead to cooking issues and can even damage your kitchen surfaces. If you have recently installed a Neff induction hob, here is a straightforward guide on how to check its levelness. Why Check Levelness? Before we dive into the steps, let’s understand why checking the levelness of your hob is essential:
Cooking Efficiency: An uneven hob can cause pots and pans to tilt, leading to uneven cooking of your food. Safety: If liquid spills due to an uneven surface, there is an increased risk of accidents in the kitchen. Avoid Damage: A misaligned hob might damage your worktop and decrease the appliance’s longevity. Steps to Check the Levelness
- Gather Your Tools
To check the levelness, you will need:
A spirit level
A flat edge (like a ruler)
A pencil (optional) - Turn Off the Hob
For safety, ensure that the induction hob is turned off and disconnected from power before proceeding with any checks.

3. Place the Spirit Level
Take the spirit level and place it on the surface of the hob in one direction (front to back). Observe the bubbles on the spirit level. If the bubble is in the center, your hob is level in that direction. If the bubble is off-center, your hob is uneven and will need adjustment. 4. Check the Other Direction
After checking front to back, rotate the spirit level and place it side to side on the hob. Repeat the same observation: if the bubble is centered, the hob is level side to side as well. 5. Adjust If Necessary
If your checks indicate that the hob is uneven, you may need to adjust it. Refer to the installation guidelines provided during the installation. Usually, there are adjustable feet that can help level the hob. Make small adjustments and re-check with the spirit level. 6. Final Inspection
Once adjustments are made, do a final check to ensure both directions are level. Ensure that all connections and surfaces are sealed and clean to prevent any issues. Additional Tips
Wait for Full Installation: Always check the levelness of the hob after it has been fully installed. Changes during installation can affect its alignment.
