How many heating elements are on the bottom and are they shielded to prevent spill damage?Thanks

There are two quarts heating elements located at the bottom of the oven. The front element is protected by three rods and the rear heating element is protected by a rod and does have a shield that covers the heating element from end to end.

Hi bro@home, There is only one heating element on the bottom and it is not shielded from spill damage.

They are shielded inside with a metal surrounding. Basically they steam with the water. Works great.

there is about 4 inches of space between the bottom of the heater and the floor. I have not noticed the floor heating up at all if that is the concern. I am not sure what the material of the outer casing is.

The bottom of the interior houses the heating element and it stainless steel, however the rest of the interior is plastic.

two cooking vessels. one inside the other. can use indirect heat with bottom filled with water second on top to help keep item warm or keep top item from direct heat.

The heating element is with the blade. The bottom part is just a container that you can immerse in water. The top part has all the electronics and heating element and cleaning this part is really simple since the only dirty part is the plate and a few drops of splashed soy milk on the plastic. Also, there are marks on the bottom container to show how far you should fill it with water.

I honestly cant remember but this item covered my 80 gallon water heater from top to bottom. It installs easy and looks really good, however some modification has to be done to the top cover and to the element covers so you can access them. Hope this helps.

the heating element is underneath the top grill. Cleanup is pretty easy. Use sponges only due to the nonstick surface. Also remember to clean the drip Tray on the side. I forgot to clean it one time but I was reminded a week later by a horrible smell.

It is a seamless glass pot. BPA should be irrelevant. Heating element seems to be outside the glass bottom, not in direct contact with the water like some brands (Tfal, etc..)

Yes, the element is concealed. This unit heats water very fast, gets very hot but the handle remains cool.

The heating element is in the base. I love this electric kettle and I've owned plenty. This won is a keeper. And just to note, I have another as a back up as I do not like to be without this item. I recommend!

The heat shield is used to deflect heat generated by the burner from the O-ring seals next to the valve. Without the shield, the seals won't last very long.

No, it is a standard bottom. I have never had a scorching issue, it is a well-built pot.

The bottom (heating element) is steel, the inside is same as outside - plastic.

From the Review listed from Amazon Shopper for this item ... I contacted T-Fal, who were extremely friendly and helpful, to make sure this has an encapsulated bottom since it's not specified in the product details. They reassured me it did (directly from the label: "Stainless steel base encapsulates a thick-gauge aluminum core to deliver optimal heat distribution, eliminate hot spots and prevent warping. Induction safe.").

No the heating element is not exposed. Read the reviews about the kettle and investigate well before you buy it. Mine broke during the warranty period and was leaking water. I sent it back.

The heating element isn't exposed, but the kettle itself is metal and gets very,very hot. Only the handle and maybe part of the lid stay cool. Other kettles I've had have been more insulated and get warm but not extreme hot.
