Problem
Possible causes
What to do
The cooktop cannot
Be turned on.
No power.
Make sure the cooktop 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.
The touch controls
are unresponsive.
The controls are locked.
Unlock the controls. See section
‘Using your ceramic cooktop’ for
instructions.
The touch controls
are difficult to
operate.
There may be a slight
film of water over the
controls or you may be
using the tip of your
finger when touching
the controls.
Make sure the touch control area is
dry and use the ball of your finger
when touching the controls.
The glass is being
scratched.
Rough-edged cookware.
Unsuitable, abrasive
scourer or cleaning
products being used.
Use cookware with flat and smooth
bases. See ‘Choosing the right
cookware’.
See ‘Care and cleaning’.
Some pans make
crackling or clicking
noises.
This may be caused by
the construction of your
cookware (layers of dif-
ferent metals vibrating
differently).
This is normal for cookware and
does not indicate a fault.
