Diamond layout
Typically, the burners on the hob are arranged in the shape of a square or rectangle, but there are also models with
diamond layout. This decision is important primarily from the point of view of aesthetics and ergonomics. The diamond layout looks unusual and, for some users, it may be more convenient than a rectangular one. Technically, such hobs are no different from traditional ones.
Dimensions (WxD)
General dimensions of the device in width and depth. Depth, in this case, refers to the distance from the leading edge to the trailing edge (when viewed from the user's side). Note that the external dimensions of the hobs are often larger than the dimensions for embedding (see below).
Cut-out dimensions (WxD)
The size of the opening that needs to be made in the kitchen countertop for the normal embedding of the hob. By default, the width and depth are indicated — the size of the opening along the front and side sides, respectively (when viewed from the user's side). Note that the dimensions of the hob itself are usually larger than the dimensions for embedding: when installed in an opening, the upper part of the surface rests on its edges, so that the device does not fall into the countertop.
Country of origin
The country in which, according to the manufacturer, this or that model is manufactured. Despite the fact that most of the manufacturers are concentrated
in China, European factories for the production of household appliances have not disappeared. And certain models can be produced on them. In general, such a division into a Chinese or European plant should not particularly affect the quality of products, but still the stereotype of a reliable European assembly (
Germany,
Spain,
Italy,
Poland,
Turkey) is present in us. However, it is possible that the model may have a country of manufacture, for example, Poland, and in the store under the same article you will meet China.
