Abstract: A cooking hob includes a cooktop defining a major surface extending between a plurality of sides and a plurality of edge surfaces extending away from the major surface at respective sides thereof and a plurality of burner units disposed at the major surface within respective sections of the major surface. The cooktop further includes a lighting assembly affixed with the cooktop opposite the major surface and extending adjacent at least two of the sections of the major surface and including a plurality of lighting elements respectively exposed at respective portions of the edge surfaces corresponding with the sections of the major surface.

Abstract: A cooktop for an appliance includes a body that has a support surface. A cooking surface is operably coupled to the body and defines a plurality of indicia. A plurality of coils are coupled to the support surface of the body. The plurality of coils correspond with the plurality of indicia defined by the cooking surface. An indicator assembly is operably coupled to the support surface of the body. The indicator assembly includes reflective members that are disposed on the support surface proximate to the plurality of coils and lasers are operably coupled to the support surface and are disposed proximate the reflective members. A controller is operably coupled to the indicator assembly and is configured to activate the lasers relative to the reflective members.
