This unit features a Hot Surface indicator light. The Hot Surface

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.
