HINTS AND TIPS

Problem
The induction hob
cannot be turned
on.
The touch controls
are unresponsive.
The touch controls
are difficult to
operate.
The glass is being
scratched.
Some pans make
crackling or
clicking noises.
The induction hob
makes a low
humming noise
when used on high
heat setting.
Fan noise coming
from the induction
hob.
Possible Causes
No power supply.
The controls are locked.
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.
Rough-edged cookware.
Unsuitable, abrasive scourer
or cleaning products being
used.
This may be caused by the
construction of your
cookware (layers of
different metals vibrating
differently).
This is caused by the
technology of induction
cooking.
A cooling fan is built into
induction hob to prevent
overheat. It continues to run
after the hob is switched
off.
Make sure the induction hob
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 Induction
Hob' 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. Do not disconnect
the hob while the fan is running.
