Advantageously, in comparison to a method known from the prior art, a hob plate can be made following installation of the hob device in the recess of the worktop, whereby in particular high flexibility and / or low probability of damage to the hob plate can be achieved. In particular, an operator can be provided with an embodiment in which the worktop is clearly discernible from the hob plate, whereby in particular a defined set-up area for cooking utensils can be made possible. A "cooktop device", in particular an "induction cooktop device", should in particular be understood as meaning at least one part, in particular a subassembly, of a cooktop, in particular an induction cooktop. The hob device differs from a hob in particular in that the hob, in contrast to the hob device has a hob plate. In particular, in at least one preassembled state, in which the hob device is arranged in particular in the recess of the worktop, the hob device is upwardly, in particular in an area facing an operator, unlimited and / or free of a hob plate.

By "at least to a large extent" is meant in particular a proportion, in particular a mass fraction and / or volume fraction, of at least 70%, in particular of at least 80%, advantageously of at least 90% and preferably of at least 95%.

A "mounting area" is to be understood in particular to mean an area which is provided for mounting a cooking plate which can be mounted separately from the cooking field plate receiving unit In at least one assembled state, at least one partial area of the cooking field plate, in particular at least one edge area, is in the mounting area In particular, a proportion, in particular a mass fraction and / or a volume fraction, of not more than 50%, in particular not more than 40%, advantageously not more than 30%, particularly advantageously not more than 20% and preferably not more than 10% of the hob plate The cooktop apparatus, in particular the cooktop panel receiving unit, defines in particular at least one support surface, above which at least one subarea of the cooktop panel, in particular at least one edge area of the cooktop panel. plate is arranged in a vertical viewing on a main extension plane of the cooking plate in at least one mounted state. The bearing surface limits the mounting area in an installed position, in particular downwards, in particular in a direction aligned parallel to a direction of gravity. A "cooktop panel" is to be understood in particular a unit which is provided in at least one operating state for setting up cooking utensils and which is in particular intended to form part of a cooktop outer casing, in particular the cooktop apparatus and / or a cooktop having the cooktop apparatus. In particular, the cooktop panel in an installed position forms an operator-facing part of the cooktop outer housing The cooktop panel could be, for example, at least a majority of glass and / or glass ceramic and / or marble and / or stone, in particular natural stone and / or laminate and / or of metal and / or of plastic and / or of wood and / or of ceramic By a "freely adaptable" hob plate should be understood in particular a hob plate, which is free, especially completely free, selectable, in particular by an operator and v ornate according to his wishes and / or needs. In particular, the hob plate is tailored to an operator and / or the wishes and / or needs of the operator, in particular shaped and / or cut. When selecting the hob plate, the operator is in particular free, in particular completely free, whereby advantageously a restriction of a selection to a set of in particular prefabricated hob plates can be avoided. In particular, at least one property of the hob plate is selectable. The selectable feature of the cooktop panel could be, for example, a thickness of the cooktop panel and / or a material of the cooktop panel and / or an appearance of the cooktop panel, such as a print and / or a coating.

The term "provided" is to be understood to mean in particular specially designed and / or equipped.Assuming that an object is intended for a specific function should in particular mean that the object fulfills this specific function in at least one application and / or operating state and / or performs. For example, the cooktop device could comprise at least one cooktop panel receiving unit, which in particular could define and / or form a support surface for the cooktop panel. In particular, the support surface could limit the mounting area in an installed position downwards. The mounting area could in particular be laterally unlimited. Preferably, the hob device has at least one hob plate receiving unit, which at least partially surrounds the mounting area. By the use of the hotplate plate receiving unit encompassing the mounting region "at least partially", it should be understood that the hotplate plate receiving unit limits the mounting region alone and / or together with at least one further unit and / or that the hotplate plate receiving unit at least part of a lateral boundary and / or The cooking field plate receiving unit could, for example, form at least part of a lateral boundary and / or boundary of the mounting area and in particular additionally form at least one further part of a lateral boundary and / or boundary of the mounting area As a result, in particular a defined and / or spatially limited mounting area can be provided, whereby in particular a precisely fitting and / or optimized M on the hob plate can be made possible. The mounting area could for example be provided exclusively for mounting the hob plate. Preferably, the mounting area is additionally provided for mounting at least one control panel, in particular for mounting the hob plate. In particular, the control panel is arranged in a vertical viewing on a main extension plane of the control panel in at least one mounted state, in particular at least partially overlapping with an operator interface. The hob device has in particular at least one user interface, which is provided in particular for an input and / or for an output of at least one piece of information to an operator. In particular, the control panel is formed differently from the cooktop panel and / or from the user interface. This can be achieved in particular a high ease of use.

Furthermore, it is proposed that the cooktop device has at least one protective unit which is provided to prevent the ingress of contaminants, in particular to reduce dust and / or liquids and / or fluids in an area below the mounting area prior to assembly of the cooking field, in particular in a comparison to a design in the absence of a protective unit. The protective unit is provided in particular for delimiting and / or shielding at least one structural unit, which is arranged in particular in a storage space which is at least partially delimited by the hob device. In particular, the protection unit is intended to reduce a probability of a direct contact of an operator with at least one structural unit, which is arranged in particular in a storage space at least partially limited by the hob device, and in particular in a comparison to a configuration in the absence of a protection unit. The structural unit could be, for example, at least one heating element, in particular at least one induction heating element, and / or at least one cooking field electronics and / or at least one power electronics. The protective unit is in particular at least largely formed from at least one heat-resistant material. The protective unit consists in particular at least to a large extent of plastic. When viewed perpendicularly onto a main extension plane of the cooktop panel, the protection unit extends in at least one mounted state in which, in particular, the cooktop panel is at least partially disposed in the assembly area, at least a majority over a full extension of the cooktop panel. As a result, in particular a high degree of safety for an operator can be ensured and / or a long-lived configuration can be achieved, since in particular a low probability of defects of structural units can be achieved.

Furthermore, a cooking system with at least one cooktop device according to the invention, with the worktop and with the cooktop plate is proposed, which is at least partially disposed in the mounting area. The cooking system has in particular at least one sealing unit, which in at least one mounted state, in particular at least one space between the hob plate and at least one other structural unit, such as the worktop and / or the

Housing unit and / or the cooktop plate receiving unit, at least substantially seals. The sealing unit is in particular at least largely made of silicone. In particular, the worktop can be manufactured and / or delivered as a unit, wherein in particular an installation of the hob device known manner can be made. In particular, in a later assembly step, the hob plate selected by an operator can be introduced into the assembly area. In this way, a clearly recognizable cooking surface can still be provided for the operator, in particular while avoiding the omission of a uniform surface.

The worktop and the hob plate could be formed, for example, at least for the most part of different materials. For example, the cooktop panel could be made, at least for the most part, of at least one material that is at least partially transparent for at least one wavelength range, such as, for example, glass and / or glass ceramic. For example, the worktop could be formed from at least one at least substantially nontransparent material and / or have at least one at least substantially non-transparent coating. Preferably, the worktop and the hob plate are formed at least to a large extent and in particular completely made of the same material. The hob plate is formed in particular by a portion of the worktop, which is removed in particular to produce the recess from the worktop and / or cut. Alternatively, the hob plate could be made independently of the worktop. The cooktop panel could, for example, be made of at least one portion removed from the worktop and / or of at least one newly cut material. As a result, in particular a high level of operating comfort and / or an easy-to-use and / or care to be achieved configuration, since the hob plate and the worktop are treated in particular in terms of cleanability equal, thereby avoiding errors in terms of cleanability and thus in particular a durable design can be made possible.

For example, the hob plate could have a thickness which could correspond at least substantially and in particular completely to a thickness of the worktop. Preferably, the hob plate has a thickness which is smaller than a thickness of the worktop. A "thickness" of an object is to be understood as meaning, in particular, a length of a shortest side of a smallest imaginary geometric cuboid which just completely encloses the object.In particular, the thickness of the hob plate is at most 90%, in particular at most 80%, advantageously at most 70% and preferably at most 60% of a thickness of the worktop. The thickness of the hob plate is in particular at least 10%, in particular at least 20%, advantageously at least 30% and preferably at least 40% of a thickness of the worktop. In this way, in particular, an optimized heating of cooking utensils mounted on the cooktop panel can be made possible, since in particular an optimal coupling between at least one heating element that is heating the cooking utensil and the cooking utensil can be achieved. In particular, a significantly more efficient energy transfer can be achieved, in particular while avoiding complicated thinning of the worktop in the cooking surface area. In addition, it is proposed that the worktop has at least one subarea above which at least one subregion of the cooktop plate is arranged, in particular in at least one assembled state and advantageously in a perpendicular viewing, on a main extension plane of the cooktop plate and / or the worktop. In particular, the portion of the worktop, above which the portion of the hob plate is arranged in particular, arranged in a recess facing the region of the worktop. In particular, the portion of the worktop above which the partial region of the hob plate is arranged in particular limits the recess at least partially and in particular forms at least one boundary bounding the recess. In at least one cross-sectional plane, the worktop could, for example, have a rectangular shape in the partial region of the worktop. Alternatively or additionally, the worktop could, for example, have a staircase-like shape in at least one cross-sectional plane in the partial region of the worktop. When viewed perpendicularly on a main extension plane of the worktop and / or the cooktop panel, the worktop and the cooktop panel, in particular the subarea of the worktop and the subarea of the cooktop panel, are arranged in particular overlapping. As a result, in particular a compact and / or stable configuration can be achieved.

For example, in at least one mounted state, the cooktop panel could be separated from the subarea only by the cooktop panel receiving unit and, in particular, could be spaced from the subarea, which could be defined in particular by a thickness of the cooktop panel receiving unit. The hob device preferably has at least one spacing compensation unit, which At least partially, in particular at least to a large extent and advantageously completely between the portion of the worktop and the portion of the hob is arranged plate and which supports the portion of the hob plate to the portion of the worktop at a specified distance apart. Under the phrase that the Ab-leveling unit "at least partially" between the portion of the worktop and the portion of the hob is arranged plate, should be understood in particular that the distance compensation unit has at least a portion which between the portion of the worktop and the portion of the Hob plate arranged and in particular additionally could have at least one further sub-area, which plate could be arranged on a main extension plane of the worktop and / or the cooktop plate outside of an overlapping region of the hob plate and the worktop in a vertical view, in particular, the specified distance is at least 0, 5 mm, in particular at least 1 mm, advantageously at least 2 mm, particularly advantageously at least 3 mm and preferably at least 4 mm In particular, the specified distance is maximally 50 mm, in particular maximally 40 mm, advantageously not more than 30 mm, more preferably not more than 20 mm and preferably not more than 10 mm. For example, the distance compensation unit could consist at least to a large extent of plastic. As a result, in particular an optimum position of the hob plate relative to the worktop can be achieved, in particular in a simple manner.

It is also proposed that an operator-facing surface of the hob plate and an operator-facing surface of the worktop are arranged at least substantially in a common plane. For example, the surface of the hob plate facing an operator and the surface of the worktop facing the operator could, in particular, continuously merge into one another and / or be arranged flush with one another. Alternatively or additionally, the surface of the hob plate and the surface of the worktop in a vertical viewing on a main extension plane of the worktop and / or the cooktop plate adjacent to each other and in particular by at least one other assembly, such as by the housing unit and / or by the Hob plate receiving unit and / or by the sealing unit, be separated from each other. Under the turn that the surface facing the operator of the hob plate and the user facing surface of the worktop "at least substantially" in are arranged in a common plane, is to be understood in particular that one of the operator facing surface of the cooktop panel spanned first level and one of the operator facing surface of the worktop spanned second plane in a direction perpendicular to the first plane and / or to the two - Directed direction a distance of at most 2 mm, in particular at most 1, 5 mm, advantageously at most 1 mm, more preferably at most 0.5 mm and preferably at most 0.1 mm and / or a maximum distance of 50%, in particular of not more than 15%, advantageously not more than 10%, particularly advantageously not more than 5% and preferably not more than 0.1%, of an extension of the hob plate and / or the worktop in the direction. As a result, in particular, an operator-facing surface can be designed to be at least essentially flush, which in particular makes it possible to minimize the possibility of injury to an operator due to protruding corners and / or edges and / or irregularities. In addition, it is proposed that the hob device has at least one control panel. The control panel could be arranged plate in a vertical viewing on a main extension plane of the worktop adjacent to the hob and advantageously between the hob plate and the worktop. For example, the control panel could be placed on a main extension plane of the worktop adjacent to the cooktop apparatus and / or to the cooktop panel receiver unit when viewed perpendicularly. The control panel could in particular be attached to the hob device and / or on the hob plate receiving unit and in particular together with the hob device and / or on the cooking plate plate receiving unit form a pre-assembly. Preferably, the control panel is arranged in the mounting area. For example, the control panel could be a portion of the hob plate. In particular, the control panel and the hob plate are formed differently and in particular separate units. As a result, in particular a high level of operating comfort can be made possible. In particular, an operator can be spared from stooping over an operation of a hob, which the operator would have to undertake, in particular in the case of an operator interface located on a front side and in particular vertically arranged, in order to be able to operate the hob. In particular, an operator can directly on the Hob and / or act in an ergonomically advantageous position. In particular, a brand-specific operating logic can be maintained.

Furthermore, it is proposed that the control panel and the hob plate are at least largely formed of different materials, which in particular a high degree of flexibility in terms of design freedom can be achieved. In particular, the control panel can be designed in brand-typical form, which in particular a high recognition value and / or a high degree of identification can be achieved.

It is further proposed that the control panel is at least largely formed of a material which is at least partially transparent for at least one wavelength range, which could be arranged in particular in the region of the visible light. In particular, the cooktop panel could at least for the most part be formed of a material which, in particular for visible light, could be at least substantially non-transparent. The wavelength range could in particular be red light and in particular of at least substantially

650 nm to 750 nm. Alternatively or additionally, the wavelength range may extend substantially over an entire range of visible light and / or over a range of at least substantially 380 nm to 750 nm. By the notion that an object is "at least partially transparent" for at least one wavelength range, it should be understood in particular that the object is completely transparent or partially transparent, in particular milky transparent, as for example in the case of a milky designed object in a region of the control panel targeted lighting are made possible, which in particular a simple and / or intuitive operation of the hob can be achieved.

In addition, it is proposed that the cooking system has at least one extraction unit, which is provided for evacuation of at least one operating state resulting vapors from at least one cooking chamber and which is arranged at a vertical viewing on a main extension plane of the worktop at least partially adjacent to the hob plate. The phrase that a first object is arranged "perpendicularly" on a main extension plane of the worktop "at least partially" adjacent to a second object is intended to be understood that the first object has at least one object element, which is arranged on a main extension plane of the worktop adjacent to the second object and in particular could have at least one further object element, which in a vertical view on a main extension plane Worktop is arranged in a different arrangement from a neighboring arrangement relative to the second object. For example, at least one further object element of the withdrawal unit could be arranged at least largely overlapping with the cooking field plate and / or with the cooking field plate unit when viewed perpendicularly onto a main extension plane of the work surface. Alternatively or additionally, at least one further object element of the withdrawal unit could be arranged at least largely overlapping the worktop when viewed perpendicularly onto a main extension plane of the worktop. The first object could be for example the trigger unit and / or the control panel. The second object could be, for example, the hob plate and / or the hob device and / or the hob plate pickup unit. In particular, in the case that the first object is the trigger unit, the object element could in particular be at least one air guiding unit of the trigger unit and / or at least one fan wheel of the trigger unit. The further object element could, in particular in the case that the first object is the trigger unit, in particular at least be an impeller of the trigger unit.

A "withdrawal unit" is to be understood in particular as meaning a unit which is provided for sucking and / or filtering vapors produced in at least one operating state, and which is intended, in particular, to transport these vapors away from a cooking area at least. In particular, at least one grease filter is provided, which is intended to at least essentially take up dissolved fat particles in the vapors produced in at least one operating state and / or at least substantially remove them from the vapors in at least one operating state, to provide at least one intake flow for vapors produced in the operating state and, in particular, to at least transport the extracted vapors out of the cooking zone. For example, the discharge unit could be designed to operate in the operating mode nd derived vapors from the cooking area and additionally from a cooking space and For example, supply at least one exhaust duct. Alternatively, the extraction unit could be provided, in particular, to transport the vapors produced in the operating state from the cooking area into at least one further partial area of the cooking space. A "cooking area" is to be understood in particular as a partial area of a cooking space in which cooking is carried out in at least one operating state and in which vapors escaping from at least one heated cooking utensil, in particular during the cooking process, and which are advantageously at least one in an installed position A "cooking space" is to be understood in particular as meaning a space, in particular a room, in which the cooking surface device and / or the cooking system comprising the cooking surface device is set up and / or arranged.

In particular, the withdrawal unit has at least one entry unit which defines and / or delimits at least one withdrawal recess, through which the withdrawal unit sucks vapors, especially in at least one operating condition, and / or through which vapors produced in at least one operating condition, in particular in the operating condition. For example, the entry unit could be at least partially integral with the countertop and / or with the cooktop panel and / or with the cooktop panel receiving unit. In particular, the entry unit could be designed in several parts, wherein in particular at least a portion of the entry unit could be integrally formed with a first unit and in particular a second portion of the entry unit integrally with a second unit. The first structural unit and / or the second structural unit could be, for example, the worktop and / or the hob plate and / or the hob plate receiving unit. The extraction unit has, in particular, at least one air guiding unit, which defines and / or limits in particular at least one guide path for vapors extracted from the cooking space in at least one operating state. In particular, the air guiding unit connects the impeller and the inlet unit fluidly.

As a result, in particular a compact configuration can be achieved. In particular, the extraction unit can be arranged together with the hob device and the hob plate in the recess, which can be dispensed in particular to an external extraction unit. In particular, by an assembly of the trigger unit in the recess of the worktop, an operator facing surface of the trigger unit and an operator facing surface of the worktop can be arranged at least substantially in a common plane, whereby in particular an operator facing surface can be configured at least substantially flush. As a result, in particular a low probability of injury to an operator due to protruding corners and / or edges and / or irregularities can be made possible. In particular, by mounting the trigger unit in the recess of the worktop, any gaps between the trigger unit and the worktop and / or the cooking plate and / or the hob plate receiving unit can be sealed in a simple manner, for example by means of silicone, which in particular a penetration of impurities avoided and / or a durable design can be achieved.

The withdrawal unit could in particular be arranged at least partially in the assembly area. In particular, the withdrawal unit could be at least a majority overlapping with the hob plate and / or arranged with the hob plate receiving unit in a vertical view on a main extension plane of the worktop. Preferably, when viewed perpendicularly on a main plane of extension of the worktop, the extractor unit is at least partially adjacent to the hob apparatus and / or to the cooktop panel receiver unit. The deduction unit is at a vertical viewing on a main extension plane of the worktop in particular at least partially adjacent to the hob plate and advantageously at least partially between the hob plate and the worktop arranged. When viewed perpendicular to a main extension plane of the worktop, in particular at least the air guide unit of the trigger unit in particular adjacent to the hob plate and advantageously plate between the hob and the worktop arranged. At least one object element of the extraction unit, in particular at least the ventilation unit of the extraction unit, could in particular be attached to the hob apparatus and / or to the cooking plate receiving unit and, in particular together with the hob apparatus and / or on the cooking field plate receiving unit, form a pre-assembly unit. The cooking system has, in particular, at least one fastening unit which, in particular in at least one pre-assembly state and advantageously in the operating state, has at least one object element of the withdrawal unit, in particular at least the air-guiding unit of the withdrawal unit, on the cooktop device and / or attached to the hob plate receiving unit. As a result, in particular a high degree of flexibility, in particular with regard to an arrangement of the withdrawal unit relative to the hob plate and / or relative to the cooking field plate receiving unit, can be achieved. In particular, the extraction unit can be arranged next to and / or behind differently wide and / or deep hob devices, which achieves in particular a high degree of flexibility and / or dispenses with various configurations of extraction units, which could each be adapted to a specific embodiment of a respective hob device be, which in particular low cost and / or low storage can be made possible.

It is also proposed that the cooking system at least one inlet unit, which defines at least one exhaust recess and / or limited, by which the exhaust unit in the operating condition resulting vapors in particular from the

Extracts cooking chamber, and by at least one closure unit which is provided for a reversible closing of the Abzugsausnehmung. A "closure unit" is to be understood in particular as a unit which has at least one closure element which at least essentially closes off the withdrawal recess in at least one closed state of the closure element and at least partially and advantageously at least partially for at least part of the removal element in at least one open state of the closure element The closure unit has, in particular, at least one closure housing unit, which is fastened to the inlet unit in particular in the operating state The closure element is movably mounted, in particular, relative to the closure housing unit In the closed state of the closure element, a surface of the closure unit facing an operator is in particular and an operator facing surface of the cooktop panel and / or the worktop arranged at least substantially in a plane.

For example, the closure element could in particular exactly two states, in particular the closed state and the open state, and / or be arranged in particular exactly two states. Alternatively, the closure element could in particular have at least three, advantageously at least four, particularly advantageously at least five and preferably several states and / or in which at least three, advantageously at least four, particularly advantageously at least five and preferably preferably be arranged in several states. The closure unit could, for example, be provided for manual actuation, in particular by an operator. Alternatively or additionally, the closure unit could be provided, for example, for automatic actuation, in particular by at least one system control unit, in particular of the cooking system. The cooking system could in particular comprise at least one system control unit, which could be provided in particular for controlling and / or regulating the closure unit and in particular the closure element. For example, the system control unit could be formed separately from a control unit of the cooktop apparatus. Alternatively, the system control unit and a control unit of the cooktop device could be at least partially and advantageously completely integrally formed. As a result, in particular a particularly undesired penetration of contaminants into the withdrawal recess can be avoided, whereby advantageously a durable design can be achieved. By reversibly closing the withdrawal recess, in particular in at least one closed state of the closure element, an impression of a continuous worktop can be ensured and in at least one opened state of the closure element, sufficient and / or undisturbed extraction of vapors produced in the operating state can be made possible.

The hob device should not be limited to the application and embodiment described above. In particular, in order to fulfill a mode of operation described herein, the cooktop apparatus may have a number different from a number of individual elements, components and units mentioned herein.
