Abstract (en)

In order to install a cooktop panel (1) in a cutout (4) of a surround, such as a countertop (2), eccentric cam plates (6) are pivotably mounted on the perimeter of the cutout (4). The eccentric cam plates (6) support with their camming surface (7) the periphery of the cooktop panel (1). The gap (5) between the perimeter of the cutout (4) and the periphery of the cooktop panel (1) is closed by a detachable gasket seal (13). Detaching the detachable gasket seal (13) allows for aligning of the cooktop panel (1) and the surround (2) in a coplanar arrangement by rotation of the cam plates (6), effected through the open gap (5) from above. Such detachable arrangement also facilitates repair and service of the cooktop panel (1) and the heating units of the cooktop assembly.
