Error messages from the electronic circuit board
The electronic circuit board has been designed to protect the hob components from malfunctions that
can damage them. For this purpose, some error messages have been provided, visible through the
power display.
If error codes from
F1
to
F9
, should appear on the display, call the authorised service centre and tell
them the error code you have read.
If the display appears in this way
and an acoustic BEEP is heard, it means that a metal object
has been left inadvertently on the hob and that it could become hot if the hob is switched on.
