Maybe they stuck the top on the wrong way round.
Heh, well, even if they had, surely the black connecting box should be the other way around to allow the wires to be fed through.

Yes, that too.
Well guys, the electrician came and sorted it for me. He said the cable should have been wired into a box. The guy that installed it in 2012 when I had a new kitchen fitted is a builder not an electrician, so that's why it wasn't done properly. So he's wired the grey flex cable from the wall into a white box, and then put a good length of white heat resistant cable coming out of the box and wired into the hob. There's no problem with the cable getting in the way of the drawers which is good. Everything is working fine.
And now if I ever need to change the appliance, I can easily do it myself as there's enough length of cable to work with wherever the connection box is on the hob.
Does get hot to the touch underneath though.
