Possible causes
No power.
Important!
• When the power to the cooktop is
switched off, there will be no 'hot surface'
indication but the cooking zone may still
be hot! Take extreme care.
• Heavy-duty scourers, some nylon
scourers and harsh/abrasive cleaning
agents may scratch the glass. Always
read the label to check if your cleaner or
scourer is suitable.
• Never leave cleaning residue on the
cooktop: the glass may become stained.
• Remove stains left by melts and sugary
food or spillovers as soon as possible. If
left to cool on the glass, they may be
difficult to remove or even permanently
damage the glass surface.
• Cut hazard: when the safety cover is
retracted, the blade in a scraper is razor-
sharp. Use with extreme care and always
store safely and out of reach of children.
• The cooktop may beep and turn itself off,
and the touch controls may not function
while there is liquid on them. Make sure
you wipe the touch control area dry before
turning the cooktop back on.
What to do
Make sure the hob is connected
to the power supply and that it
is switched on.
Check whether there is a power
outage in your home or area. If
you've checked everything and the
problem persists, call a qualified
technician.
