It is provided to be open. Ribs 10 are formed on both sides of the electric heater 6 along the installation path.

Numeral 6 denotes an electric heater, which is bent in a zigzag shape as shown in FIG. 2, and both ends of which are connected to a plug receiving member 7, and the plug receiving member 7 has a plug 8 with a temperature controller. Are connected to supply electric power while measuring the temperature of the cooking plate 4 by the temperature sensor 9.

The electric heater 6 is engaged with the engaging piece 5 by sliding the electric heater 6 along the lower surface of the cooking plate 4 as shown by a chain line in FIG. The electric heater 6 is mounted on the cooking plate 4.

At this time, as shown in FIG.
By forming a tapered surface 11 at the end of the heating plate, the electric heater 6 can be easily locked to the locking piece 5, and the electric heater 6 is mounted in a state where the electric heater 6 is pressed against the lower surface of the cooking plate 4. Can be increased.

As described above, the electric heater 6 is bent in a zigzag shape within a single plane, and a part of the electric heater 6 is formed so as to be slightly inclined downward as shown in FIG. The electric heater 6 is elastically deformed by displacing the inclined portion 12 upward as shown by a dashed line so as to coincide with the plane of the zigzag shape and engaging the engaging piece 5 at the lower end of the inclination. It is mounted in a state of being pressed against the lower surface of the cooking plate 4.

[0016]

In the present invention, a part of the electric heater 6 is engaged with the locking piece 5 by sliding the electric heater 6 along the lower surface of the cooking plate 4 and sliding the electric heater 6 along the cooking plate 4. Then, the electric heater 6 is attached to the lower surface of the cooking plate 4.

In this state, the plug receiving member 7 provided on the electric heater 6 is placed on the periphery of the main body 2 of the hot plate 1, and the cooking plate 4 is placed at a predetermined position on the hot plate 1.
