does the burners turn completely off when turned off?

No, it is not like gas. It took about 3 minutes to cool down so that I could clean the burner. Hope this helps.

No...it takes approximately 20-30 minutes for the heating elements to cool down. I would NOT leave anything on the burners if you don't want them to keep cooking.

Well, I ordered the burners thinking that it was Australian standarded voltage, but when I plug in it was burnt. Then I throwned the boxes already. So could please refund. Thanks Regards Ngawang

Just like any electric stove, they have to cool down when turned off, so they will still be hot to touch.

Good question.no last couple months of its life the burners stop turning off you have to plug out to turn it off

No it does not. Don't go off and leave it. Even the lower heating burner gets hot in a hurry. It is nice for the speed and efficiency, but it is not an appliance to turn your back on. When not in use, I unplug it. For cooking that does not need constant attention, I use a slow cooker and an electric skillet with temperature control. Use this double burner for stir fry, quick heating and boiling, and short cooking jobs.

From my experience, once you hit the temp desired 1 through 5, it tends to stay there (Green button comes on when temp is reached). Sometimes the green button goes off for a minute or 2 then comes back on, but the burner stays hot! After use, unplug the unit for safety reasons but the burners will stay hot (while cooling down) for 30-40 minutes after!

It never actually turns completely off. It's actually better than that. The thermostat is infinitely variable. The heater adjusts the heat and fan speed based on the difference between the set temperature and the room temperature. When you first turn it on, the fan will be relatively loud and it will use close to the maximum power. As the room warms up, the fan eventually slows to a whisper, and the power use drops to almost nothing. I'm a huge fan of these heaters. My in-laws used one to heat their small RV on a trip to Alaska. They're safe, quiet and efficient. Well worth the price.

Sounds like it could be. I've used mine twice now - no problem with either burner. Rather than try to troubleshoot it, you may be better off calling Amazon/manufacturer. Good Luck.

each burner lights independently. a little touchy on the adjustment of the burners though.

Not that I'm aware of. It's pretty simple to operate and it will shut off once everything is cooked based on the time that you set. Great product. With great results

Unfortunately, no. I have accidentally left mine on for long periods of time and luckily have had no steam/burning/problems; but I sure do wish there was an auto shut-off for safety!

No, you have to unplug it to turn it off. Works great though a little slow cooking but perfect omelets

Their are two knobs that independently control each burner. Beware, they don't work well on the low setting. They don't adjust very well and for this reason the unit is frustrating.

Yes, there is a switch on the back that will completely turn off the light while the unit still vaporizes.

It does not turn off instead it goes to warming. After 12 or so between cooking and warming it automatically turnoff.

Yes it does. The pilot light should stay on and the burner will go on and off.

No, it is more of a temperature setting. All 5 burners come on but it shuts off when it reaches the temperature of that setting. No specific temp is shown; you just learn what number is comfortable for you and the room it is in.

No, it has flame only, low and high. I did read that it will turn itself off if overheated. It doesn't turn itself off when the room is a certain temperature.

not sure what application your using but mine are all in fireplace inserts and once set to the speed they want they stay on that speed and never turn them off. the on off is controlled by a single pole switch on the wall that turns both gas and blower off at same time, so in my case no off setting is needed anyway

It will shut itself off, but eventually it will turn itself back on, once the element cools. I use it for simmering and hardly notice the shut off. That feature is a pain when I am trying to fry something.
