Abstract
A touch switch layout for a hob having several hotplates is described. For said hotplates is in each case provided a separate selection switch with which the power can be selected in each case. There is also a single, common touch switch for power reduction for all the hotplates. According to the associated operating method, on operating the common power control switch only the power of a selected hotplate is modified or reduced. The power of a hotplate is increased by briefly operating a selection button as selection and renewed operation of the selection button as an increase. This then functions as a power increase switch. It is obvious that the function can also be reversed.
