Interference with and repairs to the appliance by unqualified persons are dangerous as they can result in
an electric shock or a short circuit. Do not interfere with or try to repair the appliance; this could cause
injury to persons and damage to the appliance. Always have such work done by an expert, e.g. a
Customer Service technician.
If your appliance is faulty, please check whether you can rectify the problem yourself by consulting
these instructions for use.
The fuses blow regularly?
Contact a technical customer service or an electrician!
Does the hob have tears or cracks?
There is a risk of electric shocks if the glass ceramic hob develops fractures, cracks, tears or damage of
any other kind. Immediately switch off the appliance. Disconnect the fuse immediately and call Customer
Service.
You can't switch your induction hob on?
• Has the wiring system (fuse box) in the house blown afuse?
• Has the hob been connected to the mains?
• Is the childproof lock activated, i.e. does the display show an "L"?
• Are the sensor keys partly covered by a damp cloth, fluid or a metallic object? Please rectify.
• Are you using unsuitable cookware? See the section on cookware for induction hobs
The hob or a cooking zone has suddenly switched off
• Did you accidentally press the ON/OFF key?
• Are the sensor keys partly covered by a damp cloth, fluid or a metallic object? A buzzer will sound briefly.
After a few seconds the appliance will switch off. Please remove the item located in front of the sensor
keys.
• Has the safety cut-off device been activated, i.e. was a power level operated unchanged beyond a
specific period of time? See the section on operation time limit.
The pot sign appears?
A cooking zone has been switched on and the hob is expecting a suitable pot or pan to be placed on the
cooking zone (pan recognition). Only when a pot has been placed on the cooking zone the power will
be supplied.
The pot sign still appears, even though a pot or pan was placed on the hob?
The cookware is unsuitable for induction cooking or the pot or pan is too small.
LED display for cooking settings and residual heat display H does not come on or only partially
Display defective. Call Customer Service. Risk of burning, as the temperature warning is not guaranteed.
The symbol or ER03 will blink and a time-limited continuous signal will sound.
Food which has boiled over, cookware or other items are causing the touch control sensor keys to be
continuously operated. Remedy: clean the surface or remove the item. To delete the symbol press the
same key or switch the hob off and on.
Error code E2 is indicated?
The electronic unit is too hot. Check the installation of the hob. Make sure that there is sufficient ventila-
tion. See the section on "Protection against overheating”
Do not heat-up empty pots and use appropriate cookware.
No indication, no function?
The hob has been incorrectly connected. Connect the appliance to the appropriate power supply.
An error code (ERxx or Ex) is indicated?
The appliance has developed a technical defect. Please call Customer Service.
Does the hob make noises (clicking or cracking noises) or can a buzzing sound be heard when the
hob is switched on?
This is design-specific and has no influence on quality and operation.
Does the cooling fan still operate after it has been switched off?
This is normal since the electronic unit is being cooled down.
Is the cookware you are using making noises?
This is due to technical reasons; the induction hob and the pot are not at risk.
Consider these hints in case some disturbing noises appear:
• Put the cookware centrically on to the respective cooking zone.
• Try to shift the cookware a little bit onto the cooking zone.
• When using 2 cooking zones in bridge mode, put the cookware centrically on both cooking zones (ie. the
coverage of both cooking zones should be equal).
• Ensure that there are no foreign bodies between the glass ceramic and the cookware's bottom (e. g. salt
grains)
• Ensure that a lid on top of the cookware is not able to vibrate
• Try other cookware. Especially pots made of a compound material may cause noises.
• Avoid that 2 or more pots are touching each other.
• Use cookware with flat bottom to avoid movement of the cookware.
