What to do when Hot shows on the cooktopKind of codeMode, 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 toNo repair
Keep hands and items away from that zone until Hot goes out.

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.
Keep hands and items away from that zone until Hot goes out.
Do not wipe or clean that zone while Hot is displayed.
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.
