PROBLEM
Some pans make
crackling or
clicking noises.
The cooktop makes
a low humming noise
when used on a high
heat setting (especially
PowerBoost).
Fan noise coming from
the cooktop.
Pans do not become
hot and
appears
in the display.
I have locked the control
panel while two cooking
zones are bridged and
the cooktop has not
turned off.
Extraction performance
has decreased.
P
flashes in the display
when you are trying to set
PowerBoost.
TROUBLESHOOTING
POSSIBLE CAUSES
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 built into your
cooktop has come on to
prevent the electronics from
overheating. It may continue
to run even after you've
turned the cooktop off.
The cooktop cannot detect
the pan because it is not
suitable for induction cooking.
The cooktop cannot detect
the pan because it is too
small for the cooking zone or
not properly centred on it.
This is normal. The cooking
zones will remain inactive,
but the indicator lights will
remain on.
The grease filter needs
cleaned.
Cookware is blocking
extraction.
PowerBoost is temporarily
unavailable because the
cooktop needs to protect
itself from overheating.
WHAT TO DO
This is normal for induction
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 cooktop
off at the wall while the
fan is running.
Use cookware suitable for
induction cooking. See
section 'Cookware'.
Centre the pan and
make sure that its base
matches the size of the
cooking zone.
Unlock the controls,
deactivate the bridging
zones (by touching the
two setting selectors
simultaneously) and then
lock the cooktop again.
Clean the grease filter. Refer
to 'Maintenance alerts' for
details.
Tilt cookware lids to allow
steam to vent towards the
centre of the cooktop.
Allow the cooktop to
cool down.
