Arrangement for a cooktop and a worktop

1. An arrangement comprising:

a worktop having a recess;

a cooktop in the recess of the worktop and comprising a cooking surface, a mounting frame and a decorative frame; and

a distance element between the cooktop and the worktop that positions the cooktop in the recess,

wherein the cooking surface directly contacts the distance element and the distance element directly contacts the worktop such that downward forces exerted on the cooking surface are transmitted directly to the distance element and then directly from the distance element to the worktop.

2. The arrangement of claim 1 , wherein the distance element comprises an angled element with a first part that extends into the recess and between an edge of the recess and the cooktop.

3. The arrangement of claim 1 , wherein the distance element extends into the recess and wherein the mounting frame rests on the distance element.

4. The arrangement of claim 1 , wherein the distance element comprises an angled element and a second part that rests on an upper side of the worktop.

5. The arrangement of claim 1 , wherein the distance element rises above an upper side of the worktop and the cooking surface rests on the distance element.

6. The arrangement of claim 1 , wherein the distance element is covered at a top by the cooking surface and to a side by the decorative frame of the cooktop.

7. The arrangement according to claim 6 , wherein the distance element has a height above an upper side of the worktop such that the decorative frame is spaced from the upper side of the worktop.

8. The arrangement of claim 1 , wherein an end of the distance element is tapered.

9. The arrangement of claim 8 , wherein an end of the distance element is tapered toward the cooktop and another end of the distance element is tapered toward an upper side of the worktop.

10. The arrangement of claim 1 , wherein the distance element has an upper side at a higher level than a front edge of the mounting frame of the cooktop.

11. The arrangement of claim 1 , wherein the distance element is one piece.

12. The arrangement of claim 1 , wherein the distance element comprises plastic.

13. The arrangement of claim 1 , wherein the distance element prevents contact of the cooktop with the worktop.

14. A cooktop comprising:

a cooking surface;

a mounting surface for mounting the cooking surface in a recess of a worktop;

a decorative frame mounted to the cooking surface; and

a distance element for spacing the cooking surface from a worktop,

wherein the cooking surface directly contacts the distance element and the distance element is configured to directly contact the worktop such that downward forces exerted on the cooking surface are transmitted directly to the distance element and then directly from the distance element to the worktop.

15. The cooktop of claim 14 , wherein the distance element comprises:

a first tapered part for extending between the mounting frame and the worktop; and

a second tapered part for extending for extending between the cooking surface and an upper side of the worktop.

16. The cooktop of claim 14 , wherein the distance element is covered at a top by the cooking surface and to a side by the decorative frame of the cooktop.

17. The cooktop of claim 16 , wherein the distance element is configured to have a height above an upper side of the worktop such that the decorative frame is spaced from the upper side of the worktop.

18. A spacer for a cooktop arrangement comprising:

a first tapered part for extending between a mounting frame of the cooktop and a worktop; and

a second tapered part for extending between a cooking surface of the cooktop and an upper side of the worktop.

19. The spacer of claim 18 , wherein the second tapered part is configured to directly contact the cooking surface such that downward forces exerted on the cooking surface are directly transmitted to the second tapered part and then directly transmitted from the second tapered part to the worktop.
