Abstract
A hob (1) with one or more cooking locations (2), which, as viewed from above, exhibits one or more recesses (4) only in the area (25) around its geometric center (3), which are respectively connected with one or more devices (5) for removing cooking vapors through suction. These devices (5) for removing cooking vapors through suction downwardly remove the cooking vapors that arise above the cooking locations (2) by suction in a direction vertically below the hob (1), and such a hob (1), which in the assembly unit is designed with a device (36) for operating the hob (2) and downwardly removing cooking vapors by suction.
Claims19
An assembly unit, comprising:
- a cooktop having a top surface comprising one or more cooking locations and a central recess;
- a heater housing disposed underneath the cooktop for housing heating components;
- and
- a cooking vapor removal device disposed below the cooktop and in fluid communication with the central recess to remove cooking vapors through the central recess, the cooking vapor removal device comprising:
- a grease filter insert insertable into the central recess;
- a vapor aspiration chamber having a floor;
- a fan and a fan housing, the fan housing being mounted to a bottom of the heater housing and arranged above the floor of the vapor aspiration chamber such that the fan is laterally offset from the central recess, the fan being configured to transport at least some of the cooking vapors from the vapor aspiration chamber and towards the fan through a lower portion of the fan housing;
- and
- an odor filter provided downstream of the fan and behind the central recess.
An assembly unit, comprising:
- a cooktop having a top surface comprising one or more cooking locations and a central recess;
- a heater housing disposed underneath the cooktop for housing heating components;
- and
- a cooking vapor removal device disposed below the cooktop and in fluid communication with the central recess to remove cooking vapors through the central recess, the cooking vapor removal device comprising:
- a grease filter insert insertable into the central recess;
- a vapor aspiration chamber having a floor;
- a fan and a fan housing, the fan housing being mounted to a bottom of the heater housing and arranged above the floor of the vapor aspiration chamber, the fan being configured to transport at least some of the cooking vapors from the vapor aspiration chamber and towards the fan;
- and

An assembly unit, comprising:
- a cooktop having a top surface comprising one or more cooking locations and a central recess, the central recess defining a longitudinal axis extending in a vertical direction;
- a heater housing disposed underneath the cooktop for housing heating components;
- and
- a cooking vapor removal device disposed below the cooktop and in fluid communication with the central recess to remove cooking vapors through the central recess, the cooking vapor removal device comprising:
- a grease filter insert insertable into the central recess;
- a vapor aspiration chamber having a floor;
- a fan and a fan housing, the fan housing being mounted to a bottom of the heater housing and arranged above the floor of the vapor aspiration chamber such that the fan is laterally offset from the central recess, the fan being configured to transport at least some of the cooking vapors from the vapor aspiration chamber and towards the fan through a lower portion of the fan housing;
- and
- an odor filter defining a central axis, wherein the central axis of the odor filter and the longitudinal axis of the central recess are noncollinear.
