[LG electric range] The cooktop of the product is hot.

Troubleshooting

When the electric range is used, the exterior (cooktop, free standing case) may become hot.
During operation, heat can be transferred to the top glass and increase the temperature of the touch control panel. (Thermal conduction phenomenon)
If the cookware is larger than the size of the burner, or if it is positioned too close to the touch control panel, the cooktop temperature can be slightly higher.

※ Highlight burners have higher heat conductivity than induction burners.
