Cooktop surface around burners becomes excessively hot or discolors.

Safety first: Allow the cooktop to cool completely before inspection.

• Use proper cookware size: Avoid using pans that extend excessively beyond the burner markings, especially near the controls.
• Limit high heat: Use high settings only to bring food to temperature, then reduce to maintain.
• Inspect underside: Check for missing or displaced heat shields and reinstall or replace as needed.
• Verify ventilation: Ensure the installation meets Asko’s clearance and ventilation requirements to dissipate heat.

Persistent discoloration may be cosmetic, but excessive heat near controls can shorten component life.
