1. An induction cooktop, comprising:
a cover plate with at least one cooking point;
a holding plate;
at least one inductive heating coil arranged between the cover plate and the holding plate;
at least one electronics housing fastened to a side of the holding plate facing away from the at least one inductive heating coil and having electronics for the at least one inductive heating coil; and
a lower box closing off the induction cooktop at a bottom of the induction cooktop, the lower box being open at a top thereof,
wherein the at least one electronics housing is arranged in the lower box, the holding plate covers the lower box at the top, and the holding plate is connected in a force-transmitting manner to the lower box in an assembly state of the induction cooktop,
wherein the lower box is configured such that, in order to transfer the induction cooktop into the assembly state, the at least one electronics housing is positionable and fixable in the lower box along an assembly axis of the induction cooktop in a first production step,
wherein, in a second manufacturing step, the holding plate is snappable onto the at least one electronics housing, which is positioned and fixed only by the lower box, perpendicularly to the assembly axis of the induction cooktop, and
wherein the lower box has at least one retaining flange on a side facing the holding plate configured to fasten the holding plate to the lower box.
