Yes Gaggennau. Burners too close together and if using both burners it's easy for pan to bump arm that holds up the corian cover up and it comes flying down - what a mess and is dangerous. More useful if not recessed. Thanks for commenting. Any thoughts on the oven?

Your counter could be modified to suite... Next time at Newell you should discuss.. Unless of course.. your handy...
