Claim:
A cooktop comprising: a metal support plate on which to assemble heating equipment; a control casing for a control unit or electronics; wherein one of the metal support plate or the control casing includes a plurality of cooktop fastenings formed therewith, and the other of the metal support plate or the control casing includes a plurality of slots cut therein, whereby said cooktop fastenings allow a detachable connection of the metal support plate with the control casing, whereby the metal support plate and control casing are two parts that in an assembled state of the cooktop are connected with one another, whereby the fastenings are designed for the attachment to the slots in an attachment orientation and with a movement of the metal support plate and the control casing relative to each other in an assembly orientation direction into a final assembled position, whereby a moveable protrusion from one of the metal support plate or control casing is provided and a catch in the form of a projection for the protrusion is provided on the other of the metal support plate or control casing, whereby upon movement into the final assembled position, the protrusion moves over the catch, and in the final assembled position works together with the catch as to form a lock to prevent reverse movement out of the final assembled position that would allow detachment of the metal support plate and control casing from each other.
