TROUBLESHOOTING
ENGLISH
Symptoms Possible Cause / Solutions
Noises are heard
during cooking.
The following noises are normal.
•
Humming/buzzing sound
- Caused by the magnetic field transmitting power to the cookware. It is most
noticeable at high power settings and becomes quieter if the power is reduced.
•
Whistling sound
- Most noticeable with lighter weight cookware or when cookware is empty.
- Under certain conditions, your cookware may produce a high-pitched whistling
noise when two elements are in use at the same time. The power levels at
which this occurs may vary depending on the kind of cookware being used.
Change the power level to eliminate the noise or reduce its volume.
•
Cracking sound
- May occur when using composite cookware as the different materials resonate
and heat at different rates. This will not damage or impair the performance of
the cookware.
•
Clicking sound
- Caused by the electrical switches.
- It is normal to hear a clicking noise when operating burners below power level 6.
•
Ticking sound
- Caused by the cookware detection.
The Boost function
has been deactivated
or cannot be activated.
•
To prevent damage to the product, if one of the right-side elements is turned on
when the center dual element is using the Boost setting, the power setting of
the center dual element is automatically reduced to power level 9. To maintain
the Boost setting on the center dual element, use any of the left-side elements
instead.
•
For safety, after 6 minutes the Boost setting will automatically revert to either
power level 9 or the previously set power level.
The cookware
cannot be detected
automatically.
•
The words "Auto Detected" will not be displayed if there is no cookware on the
burner. Auto Detection is only active when the cooktop is initially turned on.
•
Cookware is not compatible with induction cooktop.
- Use only cookware that is compatible with the induction cooktop. For details of
compatible cookware, see " Induction Cookware ".
Cookware has been
damaged.
•
Never use the Boost mode to preheat empty cookware or to heat oil, butter or
lard. If cookware is overheated, it may be damaged, and the fat or grease may
catch fire.
- Use the Boost function to boil water or heat up large quantities of food quickly.
Output power is
different when the
same type of burner is
used.
•
The power level displayed may be different from the actual power level at the
high end of the temperature range. To prevent the cooktop from overheating, the
power level is controlled automatically.
Power Cycling
•
It is normal for heating elements to cycle On/Off during use to control output power.
The LCD screen does
not work properly.
•
Placing hot cookware on top of the LCD screen can cause the screen to
malfunction.
Timer does not turn
off the cooking zone.
•
The Kitchen Timer/Cooking Timer acts as a simple timer and does not turn off the
cooking zone.
The Hot Surface
indicator stays on
after the burners are
turned off.
•
After you turn off the burners, the indicator remains on until the ceramic glass
surface cools down.
- If the temperature near the product is high, it may take longer for the ceramic
glass surface to cool down.
Error code FC, F1,
or F5 appears on the
display.
•
Turn the power off and then on again to turn off the error code.
•
If the issue recurs, call for service.
