Answer:

As a safety precaution, a hot-surface indicator light will illuminate on CT and CE Electric Cooktops as a convenient safety reminder that the top is hot.

  • This can remain on even after the cooktop controls are turned off.
  • How long the indicator light remains on depends on many variables, including the size of the cookware used, power level and how long the unit was in use.
