Troubleshooting and error codes
| PROBLEM | POSSIBLE CAUSES | WHAT TO DO |
|---|---|---|
| The induction cooktop cannot be turned on. | No power. | Make sure the induction cooktop is connected to the power supply and that it is switched on. Check whether there is a power outage in your home or area. If you've checked everything and the problem persists, call a qualified technician. |
| The touch controls are unresponsive. | The controls are locked. | Unlock the controls. See section 'Using your induction cooktop' for instructions. |
| The touch controls are difficult to operate. | There may be a slight film of water over the controls or you may be using the tip of your finger when touching the controls. | Make sure the touch control area is dry and use the ball of your finger when touching the controls. |
| The glass is being scratched. | Rough-edged cookware. Unsuitable, abrasive scourer or cleaning products being used. | Use cookware with flat and smooth bases. See 'Choosing the right cookware'. See 'Care and cleaning'. |
| Some pans make crackling or clicking noises. | This may be caused by the construction of your cookware (layers of different metals vibrating differently). | This is normal for cookware and does not indicate a fault. |
| The induction hob makes a low humming noise when used on a high heat setting. | This is caused by the technology of induction cooking. | This is normal, but the noise should quieten down or disappear completely when you decrease the heat setting. |
| Fan noise coming from the induction hob. | A cooling fan built into your induction hob has come on to prevent the electronics from overheating. It may continue to run even after you've turned the induction hob off. | This is normal and needs no action. Do not switch the power to the induction hob off at the wall while the fan is running. |
| Pans do not become hot and appears in the display. | The induction hob cannot detect the pan because it is not suitable for induction cooking. The induction hob cannot detect the pan because it is too small for the cooking zone or not properly centred on it. | Use cookware suitable for induction cooking. See section 'Choosing the right cookware'. Centre the pan and make sure that its base matches the size of the cooking zone. |
| The induction hob or a cooking zone has turned itself off unexpectedly, a tone sounds and an error code is displayed (typically alternating with one or two digits in the cooking timer display). | Technical fault. | Check the alert codes section in this guide. If a solution can not be found in the alert codes section, switch the power to the induction hob off at the wall, and contact a qualified technician. |
| Cooktop is beeping. | Too many cook zones are at high power. An object has been detected on the cooktop. | Turn down one or more cook zones until the beeping stops. Remove the object from the cooktop. |
| Cooktop stopped operating during cooking. | Excessive temperature. An unsuitable size or non-magnetic pan (e.g. aluminium), or some other small item (e.g. knife, fork, key) has been left on the hob. | The hob will automatically shut down if there is excessive temperature. The fan will keep cooling down the induction hob for a further minute. When the hob has cooled, re-start cooking. The cooktop will automatically go on standby for 1 minute. Remove items from cooktop. |
