Trouble shooting
Malfunctions often have simple explanations. Please
read the following notes before calling the after-sales
service.
m
Risk of electric shock!
Incorrect repairs are dangerous. Repairs may only be
carried out by one of our trained after-sales engineers.
If the appliance is faulty, unplug the mains plug or
switch off the fuse in the fuse box. Contact the after-
sales service.
Notes
‒ When connected or reconnected to the electricity
or after a power cut a sound may be heard when the
gas injectors are calibrated.
‒ When being switched on, a short sound may be
heard when the electronics of the gas hob opens
the gas supply valve. When changing the power
level you can also hear a sound. This is normal.
