prevent the electronics from
overheating. It may continue to

What to do
Make sure the 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.
Unlock the controls. See section
'Using your ceramic cooktop' for
instructions.
Make sure the touch control area is
dry and use the ball of your finger
when touching the controls.
Use cookware with flat and smooth
bases. See 'Choosing the right
cookware'.
See 'Care and cleaning'.
This is normal for cookware and
does not indicate a fault.
This is normal, but the noise should
quieten down or disappear completely
when you decrease the heat setting.
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.
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.
Please note down the error
letters and numbers, switch
the power to the induction hob
off at the wall, and contact a
qualified technician.
