An induction heating device includes a case, a working coil, a base plate that is disposed vertically below the working coil, an indicator substrate support that is coupled to the case and that is disposed vertically below the base plate, an indicator substrate that is disposed on an upper surface of the indicator substrate support, that is disposed vertically below the base plate, and that is spaced apart from the base plate, an inverter substrate that is disposed at a lower surface of the indicator substrate support and that includes an inverter configured to apply a resonance current to the working coil through a switching operation, and a resonance substrate that is disposed at the lower surface of the indicator substrate support, that is connected to the working coil, and that includes a resonance capacitor configured to generate the resonance current based on the switching operation of the inverter.

An induction heating type cooktop includes a case, a cover plate that is coupled to an upper end of the case and that includes an upper plate configured to seat an object on an upper surface of the upper plate, a working coil disposed in the case and configured to heat the object, a thin film attached on the upper plate, and a thermal insulating member disposed vertically between a lower surface of the upper plate and the working coil.

An induction heating type cooktop includes a case, a cover plate that is connected to an upper end of the case and that has an upper surface configured to support an object to be heated, a working coil disposed inside the case, a thin layer disposed at the cover plate and configured to be heated by the working coil through induction, and a working coil cooling fan configured to blow air toward the working coil.

A cooktop includes a burner box, a heat shield pivotably attached to a bottom of the burner box, a lock for locking the heat shield in a transport position, wherein the heat shield is self-pivotable from the transport position to an operational position after unlocking the lock, and when in the operational position the heat shield is pivoted further from the bottom of the burner box than in the transport position.

A countertop mounted cooking appliance includes a chassis upon which is arranged a cooktop. A peripheral side portion of the chassis includes at least one opening and a control box is mounted in the chassis for housing control elements and associated electronics. An inner duct extends over at least a portion of the control box, while an outer duct extends across the at least one opening along the peripheral side portion to the countertop. A fan is mounted within the chassis wherein, when the fan is activated, a cooling airflow is developed and directed through the inner duct, out of the chassis, and through the outer duct prior to being exhaust through a gap created between the cooktop and the countertop by a trim piece.

An induction cooktop includes: a cover plate with at least one cooking point; a retaining plate; at least one inductive heating coil arranged in an intermediate space between the cover plate and the retaining plate; at least one electronics housing fastened to a side of the retaining plate facing away from the at least one heating coil and having electronics for the at least one heating coil; and a lower box closing off the induction cooktop at a bottom of the induction cooktop, the lower box being open at a top of the lower box. The at least one electronics housing with the electronics is arranged in the lower box. The retaining plate covers the lower box at the top of the lower box. The induction cooktop includes a fan for generating a primary cooling air flow for cooling the electronics in the lower box.
