In this example, theupper part 12 is a glass ceramic panel, while thelower part 14 is a casing with an open top side covered by said glass ceramic panel. Said casing is made of metal, e.g. steel, or plastics. - The
fastening element 20 comprises afirst portion 22 and asecond portion 24. Thefirst portion 22 of thefastening element 20 is formed as a plane sheet extending in a horizontal plane. Thefirst portion 22 is fixed at a bottom side of theupper part 12 of thecooking hob 10. Preferably, thefirst portion 22 is glued at the bottom side of theupper part 12. - The
second portion 24 of thefastening element 20 extends substantially in a vertical plane, so that a substantial part of thefastening element 20 has the form of an L-profile. Thesecond portion 24 of thefastening element 20 includes twospring elements 26 and onelatch element 28. Thelatch element 28 is arranged between said twospring elements 26. InFIG 1 only onespring element 26 is visible, while theother spring element 26 is hidden by thevisible spring element 26. - The
second portion 24 of thefastening element 20 is attached at a sidewall of thelower part 14 of thecooking hob 10. Thespring elements 26 have a U-shaped form and are elastic. Thespring elements 26 are provided for clamping thecooking hob 10 within the cutout of the worktop. The elastic properties of thespring elements 26 act into a radial direction, i.e. perpendicular to the sidewall of thelower part 14 and outwards in relation to thecooking hob 10. Thelatch element 28 includes a buckledappendix 30 at its lower end. The buckledappendix 30 of thelatch element 28 is inclined and extends downwards and inwards in relation to thecooking hob 10. The buckledappendix 30 of thelatch element 28 acts as a grip. - A

Saidlug element 32 extends in the radial direction and engages with arecess 42 in the side sidewall of thelower part 14 of thecooking hob 10. Therecess 42 is marginally bigger than thelug element 32. Therecess 42 and thelug element 32 form a snap-in mechanism. When theupper part 12 is set from above onto thelower part 14, then thelug element 32 is latched into therecess 42. Theupper part 12 and thelower part 14 of thecooking hob 10 are connected by two ormore lug elements 32 and associated recesses 42. - The buckled
appendix 30 of thelatch element 28 is provided for pulling thelatch element 28 away from the sidewall of thelower part 14, so that thelug element 32 can be disengaged from therecess 42. Thus, theupper part 12 of thecooking hob 10 may be easily removed again from thelower part 14 of thecooking hob 10. - A further buckled
appendix 31 is formed in the side wall of thelower part 14 of thecooking hob 10. The buckledappendix 31 of thelower part 14 is arranged above therecess 42 of thelower part 14. The buckledappendix 31 of thelower part 14 acts as a grip. The buckledappendix 31 of thelower part 14 is provided for pulling therecess 42 away from thelug element 32, so that thelug element 32 and therecess 42 can be disengaged from each other. - The
upper part 12 and thelower part 14 of thecooking hob 10 are jointed by the engagement of thelug element 32 in therecess 42 of the side sidewall of thelower part 14.
