A cooktop may include: a support having a suction opening, top and bottom surfaces, and a connecting edge, with front and rear surfaces, between the top and bottom surfaces; one or more heating elements arranged on the support; and a suction device, connected in fluid communication with the suction opening and configured to draw in cooking fumes, including first and second filters. The first filter may have a first filter element in a first seat, wherein the first seat is accessible through the suction opening. The second filter, located downstream from the first filter, may have second filter elements in a second seat. The first seat may be interposed between the suction opening and the second seat. The second seat may be accessible through the first seat, to allow extraction and/or insertion of the second filter elements through the suction opening, passing through the first seat.

Cooktops

A cooktop, defining top and bottom surfaces, may include: cooking zones and a cavity in the top surface; and a device for operating and controlling the cooktop and for permitting downward exhaust of cooking vapors. The device may include, in order from the top surface, an apparatus holding elements that heat the cooking zones and control and monitor electronics for the cooktop, a first cooking vapor intake chamber in fluid communication with the cavity, a fan housing for a radial fan, and a second cooking vapor intake chamber in fluid communication with the cavity. The fan housing may be in fluid communication with the first and second intake chambers. The first intake chamber may be configured to divide the cooking vapors into a first portion, to be conveyed downward into the fan housing, and a second portion, to be conveyed upward into the fan housing through the second intake chamber.
