Abstract: The present invention relates to an input and/or control system for a household appliance (21). The household appliance comprises first input means (16), operating as command receiving means, for a provision of at least one information input and/or function control input and/or condition control input for the household appliance (21), and second input means (10, 29?, 45), operating as confirmation input means, for a provision of a confirmation input in order to cause the input and/or control system or the household appliance (21) to accept and/or to execute the at least one, preferably more than one, information input and/or function control input and/or condition control input. The confirmation input means are particularly designed to accept and/or execute a confirmation input which is provided prior to the first one of at least one information input and/or function control input and/or condition control input.

Abstract: An induction coil assembly for an induction cooking hob has a coil winding, a lower electrically isolating sheet and optionally a thermally insulating sheet. The induction coil assembly further includes a carrier plate for supporting the lower electrically isolating sheet, the coil winding and the thermally insulating sheet. At least two power cables are provided for each coil winding. The power cables are at least partially arranged at a bottom side of the carrier plate and act as spring elements, so that the induction coil assembly can be pressed or is pressed against a glass ceramic panel of the induction cooking hob.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an induction coil assembly (10) for an induction cooking hob. The induction coil assembly (10) comprises at least one coil winding (15), at least one lower electrically isolating sheet (14) and optionally at least one thermally insulating sheet (16). The coil winding (15) is dedicated to one lower electrically isolating sheet (14) and one thermally insulating sheet (16). The coil winding (15) is arranged above the dedicated lower electrically isolating sheet (14), while the thermally insulating sheet (16) is arranged above the dedicated coil winding (15). The induction coil assembly (10) comprises a carrier plate (12) provided for supporting the lower electrically isolating sheet (14), the coil winding (15) and the thermally insulating sheet (16). The carrier plate (12) is made of a metal sheet, preferably an aluminium sheet, or of a plastic sheet.

Abstract: The invention proposes an induction cooker (100), an induction cooking vessel (305) and an induction cooking arrangement (300) wherein in an advantageous manner an outside wall (210) of the induction cooking vessel (305) is prevented from being heated by induction cooking elements (230) by shielding it with a ring element (110) extending underneath the outside wall (210). In this manner, a sophisticated induction heater together with an induction cooking vessel is provided that save energy and have a long-term usability quality.
