<p>A radiant electric heater for a glass ceramic top cooking appliance includes a base (3) of thermal and electrical insulating material and at least first (8) and second (10) heating elements arranged such that at least the first heating element (8) provided in a first heating zone (6) is adjacent to at least the second heating element (10) provided in a second heating zone (7), the first heating element (8) comprising a bright radiating element. A peripheral wall (4) of thermal insulating material surrounds the heating elements (8, 10) and a dividing wall (5) is arranged between the first and second heating elements and extends to a height substantially the same as that of the peripheral wall. A plurality of passages (11) communicates between the first and second heating zones and is disposed in the region of the base of the dividing wall (5) such that, when the bright radiating element (8) is energised, light therefrom laterally illuminates the second heating zone (7) through the passages (11). <IMAGE></p> |
