Abstract
If hobs are integrated into built-in furniture, care must be taken to ensure that during operation the temperature in or on the built-in furniture does not exceed permissible limit values. It is proposed to fasten a temperature sensor in the hob housing by means of a heat-conducting retaining element. The retaining element is arranged on the hob housing such that essentially the heat output into the worktop is transmitted via the retaining element to the temperature sensor.
Claims11
A hob for installation in a worktop, said hob comprising:
- a hob housing;
- a temperature sensor configured to acquire a heat output into the worktop in an integrated state;
- and
- a heat-conducting retaining element configured to fasten the temperature sensor in the hob housing, said retaining element being arranged on the hob housing such as to substantially transmit the heat output into the worktop to the temperature sensor.
A method for controlling a hob installed in a worktop, said method comprising:
- monitoring a temperature of the worktop by a temperature sensor;
- and
- reducing a power of the hob when the temperature exceeds a temperature threshold value.
