    Abstract: An induction heating device includes: a case; working coils; a base plate that supports the working coils; light guides that are installed on the base plate and that cover outer portions of each working coil; light emitting elements disposed below the light guides and configured to emit light; and an indicator substrate that is disposed below the base plate and that seats the light emitting elements. The indicator substrate includes a first indicator substrate, where a first portion of the light emitting elements are arranged along outer portions of the first indicator substrate, and a second indicator substrate disposed at a rear side of the first indicator substrate, where a second portion of the light emitting elements are arranged along outer portions of the second indicator substrate except for an outer portion at a front side that is adjacent to and faces the rear side of the first indicator substrate.

    Abstract: An induction heating device includes a case having a lower plate that defines an inlet and an exhaust slit; a cover plate coupled to the case; a working coil disposed inside the case; an indicator substrate support coupled to the lower plate and disposed below the working coil; an inverter substrate disposed on a lower surface of the indicator substrate support and including an inverter and a first heat sink configured to dissipate heat generated from the inverter; and a first blowing fan disposed at the lower plate and configured to draw air from an outside of the case through the inlet and discharge the air to the inverter substrate. The exhaust slit is configured to discharge, to an area below the lower plate, at least a portion of air discharged from the first blowing fan to the inverter substrate.
