An E1 reading typically means that your PIC does not detect
cookware on its surface. This can occur for one of two
reasons.
1. Have you placed a pot or pan on the unit? The induction
coils contained within the PIC will only work when they are
in direct contact with a piece of cookware. To maintain your
appliance’s effectiveness, always ensure that it rests on a at
surface and that contact is consistent with your cookware.
2. An E1 message may also occur if your chosen cookware is
not induction-ready.
The units voltage is too low. Minimum = 85 volts
The units voltage is too high. Maximum = 144 volts
Overheating, or air ventilation is obstructed. If internal
temperature exceeds 230˚ F, operation will cease and a “beep”
noise will be produced. Press “Pause/Clear” twice. Wait for the
unit to cool.
In programming mode, when the total entered time reaches
the appliance’s limit of 99:60, no additional stages can be
inputted.
Overheating, if unit exceeds a temperature 20º F higher than
sear, the appliance will turn off. Contact customer service.
• When any of the above error messages display on the LED, the unit will “beep” at least once.
• The fan will run up to a maximum of 60 seconds after pressing the “Pause/Clear” button
once. Continue cooking by pressing the “Start” button within 45 minutes.
• The unit will turn off after 45 minutes if no buttons (such as “Start”) are pressed. When
the unit shuts off, it will clear all previous cooking history.
• After pressing the “Pause/Clear” button twice or cooking has stopped, the fan will run up
to a maximum of 60 seconds until the unit cools. At that point the PIC will turn off.
• When an E1 error occurs, the unit will “beep” every 2 seconds. If the PIC has not detected
a pot after 1 minute, it will shut off automatically. In order to resume cooking before automatic
shutoff, place induction-ready cookware on the PIC’s surface. The E1 error message and
“beep” sound will continue, even after cookware has been replaced, until the “Pause/Clear” or
“Start” buttons have been pressed.
