Help with intense heat

One of my players brought this to my attention, since they have temperature control as one of their main powers and now we're both confused how the rules are meant to be read.

Most of the section on intense heat is simple enough, but the first line about human skin combusting at 160 F flat is just confusing to us.
It seems awfully low for spontaneously combusting flesh and isn't even affected by your comfort zone at all (I can't find any indicator of how high over your temperature Intense Heat as a whole is), especially odd since the FP part in intense heat refers to needing you to be over 6 times your comfort zone to kick in!

It redirects to Making Things Burn, which only seems to address how to make things catch fire from an existing fire source or incendiary attack, so that isn't helpful either.
