Abstract
A cooking appliance including a cooktop with a heating element, an electromechanical regulating device through which a user determines the power supplied to the heating element, and a residual heat indication assembly configured to warn the user of the presence of a high temperature in the cooktop. The residual heat indication assembly includes an indicator, a counter and an electronics board. The electromechanical regulating device, the indicator and counter being arranged connected directly to the electronics board, such that the electronics board detects an electrical signal flowing from the electromechanical regulating device to the heating element. The counter is configured to determine a duration of time in which the electronics board detects when power is being delivered from the electromechanical regulating device to the heating element. Upon power from the electromechanical regulating device to the heating element ceasing, the electronics board is configured to electrically power the indicator for a given amount of time based on the determined duration of time.
