hot surface
Don't touch this
A hot surface is any area warm enough to cause burns or ignite materials on contact.
The phrase appears most often on warning labels—stoves, engines, industrial equipment: Caution: hot surface, do not touch.
The warning exists because dangerous heat isn't always visible; a surface can burn you without glowing red.
