Abstract: A cooktop may include: a main body having a top surface, a bottom surface, and a suction opening; at least one cooking area configured to accommodate a heating element proximate to the top surface; suction means in fluid communication with the suction opening and configured to draw in cooking fumes; a support element connected to the main body; and weight sensing means between the support element and the main body for sensing a weight of objects to be weighed. The support element may at least partially overlap the suction means. The suction means may include: a suction duct in fluid communication with the suction opening; and a housing in fluid communication with the suction duct and configured to receive filters for the cooking fumes. The weight sensing means may be at the suction duct and/or the housing. The suction opening may be on the top surface.

Abstract: A cooktop (1) as claimed in the present invention comprises a main body (2) having a top surface (2a) and a bottom surface (2b); at least one cooking area (3) configured to accommodate a heating element (4) proximate to the top surface (2a); a suction opening (5) formed on the top surface (2a); suction means (14) in fluid communication with the suction opening (5) and configured to draw in cooking fumes; a support member (6) connected to the main body (2); weight sensing means (9) located between the support element (6) and the main body (2) for sensing the weight of objects to be weighed; the support element (6) at least partially overlaps the suction means (14).
