Abstract

A cook top with a cook top panel, in particular a cook top panel made of glass ceramic, which is secured on a metallic, single-piece installation frame. The frame has side walls that extend essentially perpendicularly to the cook top panel and which has, on a base side, an installation shoulder which extends parallel to the cook top panel, at a spacing from the cook top panel. The installation shoulder surrounds a large-surface-area base opening formed in the installation frame. The installation shoulder is provided with component openings for securing components of the cook top. In order for it to be possible to configure the installation frame in the simplest possible manner in production terms, the installation frame is configured as a bent part. In this case, at least four side walls are configured as individual side-wall sections which are separate from one another and are each bent individually at right angles from the installation shoulder around a periphery.
