What to do if trouble occurs
Interference with and repairs to the appliance by unqualified per- sons 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.
Please note
If your appliance is faulty, please check whether you can rectify the problem yourself by consulting these instructions for use.
You may be able to rectify some problems yourself. They are described below.
The fuses blow regularly?
Contact a technical customer service or an electrician!
You can't switch your induction hob on?
•Has the wiring system (fuse box) in the house blown a fuse?
•Has the hob been connected to the mains?
•Are the sensor keys locked (childproof lock), i.e. is the control key above the stop key illuminated?
•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 symbol 
will blink and a
Food which has boiled over, cookware or other items are causing the touch control sensor keys to be consistently 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 ventilation. See the section on “Protection against overheating”.
Error code U400 is indicated?
The hob has been incorrectly connected. The controls will switch off after 1 s and a continuous signal will sound. 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 Cus- tomer service.
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 recog- nition). Only when a pot has been placed on the cooking zone will power 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.
Is the cookware you are using making noises?
This is due to technical reasons; the induction hob and the pot are not at risk.
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 hob making noises (clicking or cracking sounds)?
This is for technical reasons and cannot be avoided.
Does the hob have tears or cracks?
There is a risk of electric shocks if the glass ceramic hob devel- ops fractures, cracks, tears or damage of any other kind. Immedi- ately switch off the appliance. Disconnect the fuse immediately and call Customer Service.
