What Hot surface light
actually means.
Monogram induction cooktops have a hot surface light for each cooking zone. Induction heats the pan rather than the glass, but the glass picks up heat from the pan, and the light stays on until that spot is safe to touch.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Monogram's own guidance for Hot surface light on its cooktops. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Keep hands off that zone until the light goes out.
Wipe spills only after the light is off.
If the light stays on over cold glass, book a visit.
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
The light is not a malfunction; it is the cooktop's burn warning. It also says nothing about the coil or board under that zone, only about heat the glass took from the pan.
