Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve this problem, a built-in stove according to the present invention suspends a stove body provided with heating means on the periphery of an opening formed in a countertop of a system kitchen, In a built-in stove in which a top plate covering the stove body is placed on a countertop, the width of the stove body is adjusted so that one side in the left-right direction of the top plate projects laterally from the left-right position of the stove body. It is characterized in that it is formed wider and an operation portion for operating the heating means provided on the stove body is provided in the protruding portion.

According to the present invention, since the operation unit is provided on one side of the top plate in the left-right direction, the operation unit is not obstructed by the countertop, so that the operation unit can be easily seen during cooking.

When the cook is right-handed, it is preferable to provide the operation unit on the right side, and when the cook is left-handed, it is desirable to provide the operation unit on the left side. For this reason, it is conceivable to manufacture one in which the operation unit is provided on the right side of the top plate and one in which the operation unit is provided on the left side. Then, costs and man-hours required for production management and inventory management increase.

Therefore, in such a case, the top plate is constituted by a top plate portion whose horizontal dimension is substantially the same as the width of the stove body, and an upper surface of the operation portion, and the top plate portion and the operation portion are connected to each other. By providing one frame material surrounding the outer periphery in a state where the parts are arranged side by side, and installing the operation part on the left or right of the top plate part, the overhang of the top plate in the left and right direction can be selected to the left or right What should I do?

In addition, when the operation unit is provided side by side with the top plate unit,
It becomes easy to become dirty due to oil or boiling water splashing during cooking.
In this case, if the operation unit is covered with heat-resistant glass, even if oil stains or the like adhere to the operation unit, the stains can be easily removed and the operation unit can be protected from boiling water. If the top plate is also made of heat-resistant glass, the top plate and the operation unit have the same appearance, so that the design of the built-in stove is not spoiled.

The top plate 31 is placed and installed so as to cover the stove body 3a.

The built-in stove 3 is provided with three stove burners 32a, 32b, 32c facing openings 31a, 31b, 31c formed in the top plate 31, and
A grill 33 having a grill burner is housed in the center of the stove body 3a. Here, the stove burner 32a,
It is necessary to provide an operation unit so that the cook can manually perform operations such as point fire extinguishing of the 32b and 32c and the grill burner and adjustment of the heating power thereof. However, when the fire extinguishing buttons and the heat control levers of the stove burners 32a, 32b, and 32c are arranged on the front panel 34, as in the conventional built-in stove, the cooker's view is blocked by the countertop 1 during cooking. And operability is poor.

For this reason, the width of the top plate 31 is formed wider than the stove body 3a so that one side in the left-right direction of the top plate 31 projects laterally from the stove body 3a. The operation unit 4 for extinguishing the points 32a, 32b, and 32c and adjusting the heating power is arranged. That is, the top plate 31 is made of a heat-resistant glass having the same lateral dimensions as the left and right dimensions of the stove body 3a, the operation unit 4, and the top plate 31.
