Control device for a cooktop, and cooktop

A cooktop, comprising:

• a top plate having an opening,
• a control device inserted into the opening of the top plate and comprising a rotatable connection part coupled to a control shaft, an intermediate part, and a rotatable top part, wherein the connection part and the intermediate part are slidably coupled to one another such that a rotation of the connection part is transmissible to the intermediate part, and that the connection part and the intermediate part are slidable relative to one another in a first radial direction, wherein the intermediate part and the top part are slidably coupled to one another such that a rotation of the intermediate part is transmissible to the top part, and that the intermediate part and the top part are slidable relative to one another in a second radial direction, and wherein the first and the second radial directions cross each other;
• a bottom part having an opening for receiving the control shaft and a circumferential wall at least partially enclosing the intermediate part that is coupled to the connection part;
• and
• a sleeve part designed to enclose the top part and coupled to the bottom part, the sleeve part comprising a radially outward extending shoulder abutting on a top surface of the top plate.
