hot-surface
Don't touch this
Hot-surface describes something with an elevated temperature that poses a burn risk or requires caution: hot-surface warning labels on appliances, hot-surface ignition systems.
The term appears most often in safety contexts and technical specifications, particularly for heating equipment where a heated element serves a functional purpose—igniting gas in furnaces or keeping food warm.
