In 1952, Neff succeeded in making a decisive breakthrough on the market for electric cookers with its new Arcus model.<ref>BSH Corporate Archives, F-Neff-012, Neff – Der Weg an die Spitze.</ref>
In 1952, [[The Neff Brand and the BSH Site in Bretten|Neff]] succeeded in making a decisive breakthrough on the market for electric cookers with its new Arcus model.<ref>BSH Corporate Archives, F-Neff-012, Neff – Der Weg an die Spitze.</ref>


The electric cooker combined cutting-edge design with technical innovation. The front of the cooker was curved in an arc shape – hence the name arcus from Latin – over the rotary knobs.<ref>BSH Corporate Archives, F-Neff-005, Gabriele Kicherer – Geschichte und Bedeutung der Marke Neff, Dissertation 1994, page 32.</ref> This was the first time a connector pin plate was not used in the construction, but rather stainless steel spill rings from the company E.G.O.<ref>Neff – 130 Jahre neue Ideen, http://special.neff.de/130jahre/ (last downloaded on 15.12.2016).</ref> Unlike the connector pin plate, the new hotplates formed a cohesive unit with the hob. The stainless steel spill ring prevented overboiling dishes from spilling into the cooker's interior, and hence arduous cleaning of the appliance's innards. The Arcus model optionally featured a warming compartment or crockery trolley.
