Disclosed is a new heating device for an appliance such as a coffee urn 11. Such device has a main heating element 57 and a spaced-apart warming element 59, both of which are embedded in a common casting. The device may be mounted to and removed from an appliance as a single unit and when mounted, the main heating element is closer to the liquid container than the warming element. The elements are vertically spaced from one another and each element has flattened coil portions contacting one another. Such flattened portions minimizes the height of the device. The new device also has one or more "points" 80,79,77 for mounting auxiliary components such as a grounding wire and/or a thermostat(s).
