Usually, high-temperature surface warning symbols are only required if the hazard is not obvious. So in ovens, stovetops, griddles, toasters, heat-sinks, etc. do not require them.
However, if such appliances or device have areas that are hot but it is not obvious it is hot, a warning symbol might be required. At home, I have a 2-slice toaster. It is a "Cool Touch" toaster that has no hot exposed surfaces, except from the small surface between the two slots on the top. So the manufacturer engraved the symbol on the metal surface. Not a bad idea. But back in the day, the sides of a toaster got really hot; hot enough to melt the Wonder Bread bag. As a kid, I think every toaster I ever saw had a Wonder Bread bag melted on the side.
