Display shows messages

Is the display flashing when you place a saucepan on an induction surface cooking area? Check that the saucepan is electromagnetic. Check that the diameter of the saucepan is large enough. Center the saucepan on the surface cooking area. Allow the saucepan to cool down in the event that it has become hot when used. Switch the surface cooking area off, then on again. If the display still does not light up, turn power off at the circuit breaker. Wait 20 seconds and turn power back on.

Is the Performance boost function display flashing and switching off? The Performance boost function operates the surface cooking area with the most power. During long cooking times, it is possible that the function will switch the surface cooking area off to keep the cooktop from overheating. You can continue to use the cooktop if the display is not flashing.

Operational cooktop sounds

Is there a low humming? This occurs when cooking at high power. The cause of this is the amount of energy that is transmitted from the appliance to the cookware. This sound will quiet or go away when the power is turned down.

Is there a crackling? This sound occurs when cookware is used that consists of different materials. The noise is caused by vibrations in the joint faces between the different layers. It may change depending on the amount and type of food being cooked.

Is there a fan noise? The electronics require a controlled temperature in order to function reliably. The cooktop is fitted with a fan that runs at various speeds according to the temperature detected. The fan may also continue to run even after the cooktop has been switched off, if the temperature it detects is too high.
