Was up in the 90's here couple of weeks ago. Would working in a hot
non-air conditioned resturant kitchen, next to the  open gas broiler
oven qualify? I mean ..... it was really REALLY hot ..... Had to step
away every few minutes or I would have gotten well done on one side.

But, on the other hand ..... it smelled pretty good.

Come to think of it ..... it's pretty amazing that this control panel
has lasted for about 10 years mounted this close to the oven. It's
gotta be 120 degrees or more during working hours, 7 days a week. The
oven was moved near the panel after the alarm was installed.
