Are there shields or rods over the heating elements to protect them from accidental bumps? Or are they completely exposed?

Hi Rochelle, there is no cover or protection but there is enough space between the ceramic heater and the tray if that's what you're concerned about. Hope this helps.

There is no exposed aluminum. Also - handles never get hot. We have two homes - with All-Clad at our townhouse - and I almost burned myself because I have gotten used to the Cooks standard that we have at our home

i would suggest avoiding adhesive tapes or putting plastic directly against heated cable, maybe twist some metal wires on to help hold, you probably don't want to risk a fire. proper insulation wrap to cover it over is a good idea

No special protection; I got mine in summer and the heat made them stick together !

I haven't had any issue with heat with mine. But I wouldn't use a real high heat with even heat protected

NONE! I use mine every day. No issues. Even if i have any issues, it came with extra heating elements and tips.

Yes they are covered but you can distinguish by a raised dimple where the buttons are. Very easy to use and works perfectly.

Yes, that's why I was looking for something to cover them up..LOL. I do remove when cooking in the oven...don't want to warp it. It fits perfect on my old GE Electric Stove. It acts as additional counter space and has an attractive look when stove is not in use.

Yes there is. There is actually plenty of plastic on it. I don't notice that it is an issue however, I don't feel the plastic getting warm while it is on the burner.

There is something to keep it from sliding but it is easily knocked off. However you are pouring boiling watr over the thing; better be careful and not moving it around.

PVC plastic scissors and laminated metal rods across...it should not have issues taking heat.

Yes, that's where I use them. Put it under the heat element. If you've never used anything like this before, you'll be very happy you purchased this item. Just pull the piece out from time to time and brush off.

The manual says don't line the bottom or walls with foil or let foil touch the heating coil or temperature probe. But you can cover a dish with foil and that kind of thing.

There are two quarts heating elements located at the bottom of the oven. The front element is protected by three rods and the rear heating element is protected by a rod and does have a shield that covers the heating element from end to end.

I installed myself over a year ago so keep this in mind. My experience was it was very straight forward but did take longer than expected which ironically is to be expected for the first time doing anything.; ) To directly answer your question I do not remember removing any heat shields. There are many videos showing install on U tube, etc.

I have one over mine. It makes it more comfortable. Its heats well even with it.

No they are not covered. We use this grate to place in a shallow jelly roll pan to bake bacon. Good product ...no complaints.
