Troubleshooting and error codes
| Problem | Possible Cause | What To Do |
|---|---|---|
| Surface elements will not maintain a rolling boil or cooking is slow | Improper cookware being used. | Use pans that are absolutely flat and match the diameter of the surface unit selected. |
| Surface elements do not work properly | Cooktop controls improperly set. | Check to be sure the correct control is set for the surface element you are using. |
| Scratches on cooktop glass surface | Cookware with rough bottoms being used or coarse particles (salt or sand) were between the cookware and the surface of the cooktop. Cookware has been slid across the cooktop surface. | To avoid scratches, use the recommended cleaning procedures. Make sure bottoms of cookware are clean before use, and use cookware with smooth bottoms. |
| Areas of discoloration on the cooktop | Food spillovers not cleaned before next use. | See the Cleaning the glass cooktop section. |
| Hot surface on a model with a light-colored glass cooktop. | This is normal. The surface may appear discolored when it is hot. This is temporary and will disappear as the glass cools. | |
