The appliance switches
off during operation
and
F
appears in all
cooking zone displays
and an audible tone
sounds.
One or several of the
sensors are covered,
for example, by finger
contact, food boiling
over or by an object
such as an oven glove
or tea towel.
Clean the control area or
remove the obstruction (see
"Safety switch-off").
The food in the pan
hardly heats up or does
not heat up at all when
the Auto heat-up
function is switched
on.
There is too much food
in the pan.
Start cooking at the highest
setting, then turn the heat
down manually.
The pan is not
conducting heat
properly.
One or several residual
heat indicators flash.
There was an
interruption to the
power supply during
operation, and the
cooktop has switched
itself off.
This doesn't indicate a fault.
You can continue operation.
Check the food's level of
doneness and whether it was
affected by the power cut
before continuing operation
on the cooking zone.
The residual heat
indicators lit up when
you called up the
programming.
This doesn't indicate a fault.
The indicator lights will
continue flashing until the
maximum residual heat has
elapsed or the cooking zone
is switched on.
It is taking too long for
the contents of the pan
to come to the boil.
You can test the power
setting of the cooking zone
(see "To test the power
setting").
