Hot Surface Indicator Light
This unit features a Hot Surface Indicator Light. The Hot Surface

too hot to touch, even after the surface cooking area(s) is turned
off.
If the cooktop is on when a power failure occurs, the Hot Surface
Indicator Light will remain on after the power is restored to the
cooktop. It will remain on until the cooktop has cooled
completely.

knob is on, the light will glow.
