“Does anyone have this range and the frame around the front and sides get too hot when the front burners are on? When we have the front burners on, the front gets too hot to touch. Scary since we have young kids in the house.”

Hi SeoulGlo - Thanks for reaching out to us regarding your GE range. Our ranges meet all standards set by the Underwriters Laboratories (UL). UL evaluates external temperature limitations for ranges. The front and sides of a range can vary from 152 to 212 degrees F., depending on the materials. There are currently no temperature limitations for the horizontal surface, or cooktop, of a range. Left front burner is 3100 Watts (Power Boil) and right front burner is 3000 Watts. When the glass around each burner goes above 150 degrees F, the hot surface light will come on to remind you that the surface is hot. After the unit is turned off, the light will remain on until the area around the burner has cooled to below 150 degrees F. This usually takes about twenty minutes. Oversized pans will trap heat between the bottom of the pan and the cooktop; this will transfer a lot of heat to the cooktop. Your pans should not hang over more than one inch on each side of any surface burner. If you need further assistance, please reach out to us at GEAppliances.com/service or call 1-800-GECares (1-800-432-2737). Keep in touch! Sue
