Do the heating elements have a cover or are they exposed?

Exposed but protected as previous people mentioned. It is a nice unit. Been very happy thus far.

Exposed. This is my primary oven-I rarely turn on the large one under the stove. I love this thing.

They are exposed. But easy to reach. You must remove rack/ grill plate to get to the heating coil.

They're exposed but the panini plate protects them from melting cheese. There's also a wire rack for normal toasting or pizza-baking. An aluminum crumb tray slides out from the back for easy cleaning.

The bottom element in particular is exposed - its a round rod about 3/16"in diameter bent to form a rectangle. One should be careful with this element. The wire grill for holding toast sits a couple of inches above it, which is enough for a mitt to touch it if you are careless when pulling out the sliding grill.The top element is protected by another grill that gets lowered when pressing against a Panini sandwich, so it's never an issue when the door is open.

No, the heating element is not exposed. When the water comes to a boil, it shuts off automatically. I have always poured the water immediately and have not noticed if the kettle maintains heat for an extended period of time.

I'm not 100% sure what you mean by the cover? I replaced this part and my heater started working again, but the LCD screen was still shot. The LCD screen is a separate part and I can see some characters, but not enough. I live in the desert, so I did fashion a makeshift cover to keep this part from rotting in the sun again :-)

Mine has covers and works good. I've used it sitting at a table or on my lap.

No there is no cover for the fire area but I was using without it and works perfectly fine. I happen to come across a cover for it out of a wood burning one that my friend was throwing out and it fit perfectly.

The fabric is actually a cover that snaps on and off, so it can be washed. The heating element is inside a flexible sealed plastic casing.

No the heating element is recessed and I have had two of these and both quit working after about a month

Yep. Cover provided. It's pretty great. Awesome burner. I love to use it with cast iron.

The outlets are on the bottom of the unit, there is no cover, only a very small lip to protect them. I have used this outside, exposed to the elements twice so far (Halloween and Christmas) with no problems.

Sorry to reply so late; I've been away. The heating element is covered. It is inside the stainless-steel bottom of the pot. The little pipe running up the side near the handle is, I think, the temperature sensor to determine when water is boiling (sensing steam), and shutting off the heating element.

I don't think any of them have covers. It's a double glass wall that holds hot drinks such as tea very well without burning your fingers. We use them to let the tea cool enough to drink it, while still being able to touch and hold the glass. Hope that helps.

It depends on your definition of 'visible'. There are two sets of heating elements, one in the 'roof' of the cavity, and one on the 'floor'. The one on the floor is exposed, but largely covered by the metal turntable, which must be present to place anything in the oven. The one in the roof is behind a permanent grate which is part of the cavity. The roof element is more like a quartz heater, and get hotter than the one on the floor which is a resistive element (like a coil stove). In short, the two elements are not obvious on casual inspection, but the floor element is exposed and both are visible if you know where to look.

It is weatherproof and should not need a cover. Wires come through the base so they don't show and they are sealed well.

We have had ours for about 6 months and have been very happy with them. The heating elements have worked well.

Yes they cover and protect the burner area. They have worked very well for me and makes the stove top look new.

No cover is included. Install fuse block in a location where water and dirt will not be problems.
