Well, I don't know about GE, and I'm too lazy to go downstairs and see what
brand mine is, but what I do know is that it is insulated enough that during
the cleaning process you can still touch the cooktop for several seconds
before it feels too hot.  The instructions for it say that the oven reaches
a temperature of around 1100 degrees, and while deciding to clean my dutch
ovens in there I did some research and found that self cleaning ovens are
made to reach temperatures of 900-1100 degrees.  The self locking mechanism
locks in at about 750 degrees if I remember correctly.  I wanted to make
sure it wasn't going to reach the melting point of iron.

Anyway, I guess the top might not be required to be insulated, but I can't
believe that after an hour at 1100 degrees that an uninsulated cooktop would
be cool enough to touch.

Home ranges have standards for surface temperature on the sides and doors.
There are NONE for the cook top.

Much above 900 degrees and the GE's will shut down.  I imagine most of them
will.  Plus, I have had sporadic reports from customers telling me that they
shut down during marathon bake sessions.  Also, the door will lock up.  That
may not be a problem
