| After you activate Assisted Cooking, the hob starts heating up, stops, and then starts again. | This is a safety check to ensure that the Food Sensor is in a pot for which Assisted Cooking function was activated. | It is a normal procedure, it does not indicate any malfunction. |
| You cannot activate the highest heat setting. | Another zone is already set to the highest heat setting. | First reduce the power of the other zone. |

| Temperature is not visible on the display. | You put too much salt in the water. | Do not salt boiling water. |
| The display shows a warning icon. | The Food Sensor did not establish connection with the hob because the strength of the signal is too low. | Place the Food Sensor close to the antenna on the hob surface, near the centre of the hob. Refer to "Hints and tips". |
