Abstract
A method of bonding a heating element onto the back of a glass or glass-ceramic material is provided. The heating element is bonded to the back of the glass or glass-ceramic material using a suitable adhesive material, such as an adhesive tape, RTV silicone, or a similar temperature resistant, chemically inert material. A burner unit formed from a glass or glass-ceramic material having a desired shape with the heating element connected to it with a heat resistant adhesive can be formed by this method. This allows greater freedom of design of burners to have any desired shape, as well as providing a strong, easily cleanable surface.
