TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEM Some pans make crackling or clicking noises. POSSIBLE CAUSES This may be caused by the construction of your cookware (layers of different metals vibrating differently). WHAT TO DO This is normal for induction cookware and does not indicate a fault. 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. 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. 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 'Choosing the right cookware'. I have locked the control panel while two cooking zones are bridged and the cooktop has not turned off. 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. P flashes in the display when you are trying to set PowerBoost. The cooktop or a cooking zone has turned itself off unexpectedly, a tone sounds and an error code is displayed (typically E or Er alternating with one or two digits in the cooking zone displays). PowerBoost is temporarily unavailable because the cooktop needs to protect itself from overheating. Technical fault. 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. Allow the cooktop to cool down. Please note down the error letters and numbers, switch the power to the cooktop off at the wall, and contact your Authorized Service Centre or Customer Care with the error code information. 32

PROBLEM
POSSIBLE CAUSES
WHAT TO DO
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 induction
cookware and does not
indicate a fault.
The cooktop makes
a low humming noise
when used on a high
heat setting (especially
PowerBoost).
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 cooktop.
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.
This is normal and needs
no action. Do not switch
the power to the cooktop
off at the wall while the
fan is running.
Pans do not become hot

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.
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.
I have locked the control
panel while two cooking
zones are bridged and the

This is normal. The cooking
zones will remain inactive,

unexpectedly, a tone
sounds and an error code
is displayed (typically
E
