Abstract: An oven has a muffle with a muffle upper side and a muffle ceiling and with a door. A radiant heating device is arranged on the muffle upper side or muffle ceiling, and extends in a surface area parallel to the muffle upper side and has a radiation direction downwards. Furthermore, a top heating device is arranged on the muffle upper side, which extends around the radiant heating device. The radiant heating device has a cover into the muffle or is covered thereby, wherein the cover is planar and closed, and is permeable for the heat radiating from the radiant heating device. The cover covers the radiant heating device, wherein the top heating device surrounds the radiant heating device or extends outside of it.

Abstract: A heating device for a hob has a flat rectangular carrier with an outer edge, two heating elements which each have a heating conductor and which together form a heating area and which are fastened on the carrier, wherein each heating element defines a partial heating area, and the partial heating areas are situated inside the rectangular shape of the carrier. The heating elements and their partial heating areas can be operated independently of one another. The partial heating areas of the heating elements do not intersect. A first partial heating area is rectangular and extends, by way of at least one of its outer sides, to the outer edge of the carrier and runs parallel in relation to the outer edge. A second partial heating area covers the portion of the rest of the carrier which is left free by the first partial heating area. Various configurations of heated areas can be achieved owing to the independent operation.
