A cooking appliance, such as a toaster or oven, has a lifting arm including ribs that form a support surface for a food product in a cooking cavity of the appliance. Each rib can include an opening configured to permit infrared radiation from a heating assembly to pass through the rib to the food product supported by the lifting arm and/or to reduce a thermal mass and capacitance of the lifting arm. The heating assembly can include a support and/or heating element with a curved shape having a concave side facing a cooking cavity. The support and/or heating element can have a planar shape when unstressed and a curved shape when stressed. The heating element may be coupled to the support so as to be slidably movable relative to the support, e.g., so the heating element can slide relative to the support.

A cooktop assembly includes a burner box and a controller disposed on the burner box. A mounting panel is coupled to the burner box over the controller. The mounting panel defines a plurality of embossed features. Each of the plurality of embossed features extends vertically upward from discrete portions of the mounting panel. A plurality of coil assemblies includes individual coil assemblies. Each of the individual coil assemblies includes a coil disposed on a coil plate that defines more than one aperture. Each of the individual embossed features extends through an aperture of the more than one aperture defined by one of the coil plates when the individual coil assemblies are disposed on the mounting panel. A cooktop is disposed over the plurality of coil assemblies and coupled to the burner box.

An electric range is provided that may include a case, a case, a cover plate coupled to an upper end of the case, wherein an object to be heated is placed on an upper surface thereof, an air blowing fan configured to discharge air, and an air guide that communicates with the air blowing fan, wherein a cross-sectional area of the flow path of air in a portion of the air guide at which air is discharged outward is greater than a cross-sectional area of the flow path of air at a portion of the air guide at which the air guide and the air blowing fan communicate.

An electric range is provided that may include a case that defines an external appearance of the electric range; at least one heater that heats an object; at least one upper bracket that is disposed under the at least one heater to support the at least one heater; and a support disposed under the at least one upper bracket. The support may include a mount on which a printed circuit board is mounted, and a boss portion that supports the at least one upper bracket.

An electric range is provided, in which a portion of a bracket, which is configured to support at least one heating unit, is bent downward. More specifically, the at least one heating unit may be mounted in a specific region on the bracket, and a recessed portion which is downwardly formed may be formed in a portion of the specific region. Accordingly, an electric wire disposed between the at least one heating unit and the bracket may be accommodated or disposed in the recessed portion, so that interference between the electric wire disposed between the at least one heating unit and the bracket and the at least one heating unit may be prevented.

An electric range is provided that may include a case, and a support. The support may include a first region in which an air blower fan may be disposed, and a second region in which a printed circuit board may be disposed. A lower surface of the first region may be separated from the case.

A home appliance is provided in which electronic elements are attached to an outer surface of a heat sink, allowing air to directly contacting the electronic elements. More specifically, the electronic elements are attached to an outer slanted surface of the heat sink, an air guide is disposed to surround the heat sink to which the electronic elements are attached, and an air blowing fan is used to allow air to flow in the air guide, enabling the flowing air to directly contact the electronic elements.

An electric range is provided that may include a single base bracket configured to support and protect a control circuit board, thereby remarkably reducing a number of components in comparison to a conventional electric range.

An electric range may include a case, a cover plate coupled to an upper end of the case and on an upper surface of which an object to be heated is placed, a heat sink, an air blowing fan, wherein the air blowing fan is configured to discharge air toward the heat sink, and an air guide that communicates with the air blowing fan, surrounds the heat sink, and forms a flow path of air that cools the heat sink, wherein the air guide includes an side outlet formed in a portion at which the air guide communicates with the air blowing fan, and wherein the air guide is configured to discharge a portion of air flowing from the air blowing fan outward.

An electric range and a method for controlling an electric range are provided, in which a plate temperature sensor configured to sense a temperature of a cover plate and a thermal fuse configured to sense overheating of the cover plate are connected in series to configure a temperature sensing circuit, thereby simplifying a control substrate to which the temperature sensing circuit is electrically connected and reducing manufacture costs.
