# Electrolux induction cooktop showing Hot

Electrolux induction cooktops spell out Hot in a zone's setting display after the zone is switched off, as long as heat is still detected there.

## What Hot actually means.

Electrolux induction cooktops spell out Hot in a zone's setting display after the zone is switched off, as long as heat is still detected there.

Electrolux cooktop display

What to do when Hot shows on the cooktop

### Kind of code Mode, not a failure

A state the cooktop was put in, or one it picked deliberately — a child lock, a demo mode that lights the keys but heats nothing, a residual-heat letter over a zone that is still warm, a prompt that no pan has been found. Nothing has broken and no part is called for.

### Usually leads to No repair

Keep hands and items away from that zone until Hot goes out.

### Shows up as Cooktop Hot Surface Light Stays On

The hot surface light or residual heat indicator stays lit long after the glass has cooled, or it never comes on at all.

### Make Electrolux

A Swedish-owned appliance group whose US kitchen lineup has included built-in cooktops.

### Source Electrolux ECCI3068AS induction cooktop use and care manual

From the ECCI3068AS manual linked from the Electrolux U.S. product page; the ECCI3668AS 36-inch model is sold alongside it.

## Before you book, in this order.

Each step comes from Electrolux's own guidance for Hot on its cooktops. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.

01

Keep hands and items away from that zone until Hot goes out.

02

Do not wipe or clean that zone while Hot is displayed.

03

Keep children away from the cooktop until the Hot message clears.

### Cleared?

The cooktop came right without a new part. If the same message returns while a zone or burner is on, or the top shuts itself down again mid-meal, treat it as a fresh problem and book it.

### What not to do

Hot is not an error message. It is a warning that the zone is still warm after being switched off.

## What you may notice with it.

The cooktop problems Hot tends to arrive with. Answer these at the cooktop before anyone is booked.

## Questions about Hot.

### Can I clear Hot myself?

Keep hands and items away from that zone until Hot goes out.

### How long does Hot stay on my Electrolux cooktop?

Until the zone cools enough; a heavy pan left on it slows that down.

### Hot never appeared after I cooked. Is something wrong?

The manual says the zone may not have got hot enough to trigger the warning.

### Does Hot on an Electrolux ECCI3068AS mean the zone is still switched on?

No. The manual says Hot shows when the cook zone is off but still hot. The indicator stays on until the heated area has cooled, and then it clears by itself.
