Temperature rise of handles and knobs
Abstract
At present no regulations exist for the handles and knobs of the controls and switches on electric ovens or hot plates. No means exist to prevent the controls from taking up a high temperature during the normal use of the appliances. Therefore the Heat Institute prepared a procedure for determining the highest permissible temperature of switches, handles and knobs fitted on hot appliances.
