Abstract
A cooktop includes a plurality of heating elements, a user interface for inputting a power level, a detection assembly for detecting a position and size of at least one cookware element, and a control unit designed to combine a plurality of heating elements into a heating zone depending on the detected size and position of the cookware element and to operate the heating elements of the heating zone with a total heat output. In order to ensure a reproducible total heat output, the control unit is designed to calculate a bottom surface of the cookware element from the measurands of the detection assembly and to determine the total heat output depending on power level and bottom surface.
