Original Abstract Submitted
An induction heating type cooktop include a case, a cover plate connected to an upper end of the case, the cover plate having an upper surface configured to support thereon an object to be heated, a thin layer disposed at the cover plate, a heat insulator disposed vertically below the thin layer, a working coil disposed inside the case, a cooling fan configured to blow air toward the working coil, and a bracket that defines a cooling passage. The cooling passage is configured to guide the air to pass through the working coil and to discharge the air to an outside of the bracket.
