Rectifying minor faults yourself

Faults often have simple explanations. Please read the 
following notes before calling the after-sales service.

Fault

Measure

The hob does not work.

Check the household fuse for the appliance. Check whether there is a power cut 
by trying other electronic appliances.

You cannot switch the hob on. The main 
switch flashes repeatedly when you touch 
it.

There is an object on one of the touch keys (e.g. a tea towel). Remove the object 
and switch the hob on as usual.

The hob works, but the cooking zones do 
not heat up. A dot lights up on the timer 
display.

The appliance is in demonstration mode after it is first connected. Disconnect 
the appliance from the mains at the household fuse for at least 10 seconds. 
Reconnect the appliance to the mains and carry out the following steps within 3 
minutes:

1

Switch on the hob at the 

#

 main switch. The timer must be switched off.

2

Press and hold the 

@

 symbol. In addition, touch the 

#

 main switch within 3 

seconds.

The hob switches off.

3

Take your finger away from the 

@

 symbol.

4

Take your finger away from the main switch.

An audible signal sounds. The dot on the timer display goes out.

The hob has switched itself off.

The main switch was touched accidentally. You can now switch the hob on 
again. 

A cooking zone was operating without interruption for too long. The safety shut-
off was activated. You can switch the cooking zone on again.

Ҥ

 display and numbers

There is a fault in the electronics. Switch the appliance off and back on again 
using either the household fuse or the circuit breaker in the fuse box (reset). If 
the display appears again, disconnect the appliance from the mains using the 
household fuse. Contact the after-sales service.

Alternating 

 and 

ˆ

 display

A cooking zone that was set to heat setting 8 or 9 is too hot. The power for this 
cooking zone was reduced to heat setting 7. When 

 goes out, you can set the 

cooking zone to a higher setting again.

 display

The appliance is too hot and a cooking zone has switched itself off. Remove the 
pot from the heat. 

 goes out once the cooking zones have cooled down suffi-

ciently.

Wait a few minutes until the cooking zones have cooled down. If 

 appears 

again after switching on, the hob is still too hot. Switch off the cooking zones 
and allow them to continue to cool down.

 display

Electronics fault in one of the cooking zones

Switch the appliance off and, after a few minutes, back on again using either the 
household fuse or the circuit breaker in the fuse box (reset). If the display 
appears again, disconnect the appliance from the mains using the household 
fuse. Call the after-sales service.

 display

The control panel is too hot and the appliance has switched itself off. Check 
whether there is a hot pan on the control panel.

Remove the pan from the control panel. Wait a few minutes until the control unit 
has cooled down. If

 appears again after switching on, disconnect the appli-

ance from the mains using the household fuse. Call the after-sales service.

”ˆ

 display

key. Call the after-sales service. It is possible to cook without the frying-sensor 
function.
