Abstract

A hotplate has on the bottom of its hotplate body (11) a cover plate (15), through which is passed an electric conductor (18) mounted in an insulating bushing (19) and which only slightly projects over the end of the insulating bushing (19). For automatically placing the hotplate in a stove unit, electrical connecting lines (21) are guided by a positioning member (20) which can be fixed to the rim (14) of the hotplate body (11). On the inside, the connecting lines project far enough to be brought into contact with the electrical conductor (18) passing through the cover plate.
