Abstract
The present invention provides a radiant heating unit for a cooktop. The heating unit includes a cooking plate, a support pan, an insulation layer, a heating element, a temperature sensor, and a support post. The support pan is disposed beneath the cooking plate. The insulation layer is supported in the pan and includes an insulation base and an insulation sidewall ring. The heating element is supported on the insulation base in a spaced apart relationship to the cooking plate. The heating element is capable of radiating direct radiant energy. The temperature sensor senses the temperature inside the heating unit and includes a sensing element and lead wires. The support post has an upper head portion and a lower base portion. The upper head portion has a recess to house at least a portion of the sensing element of the temperature sensor. The recess also shields at least a portion of the sensing element from direct radiant energy of the heating element.
