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.

off was activated. You can switch the cooking zone on again.
