Resolution

If the hob does not work/does not display any symbols right after being connected, this indicates possible incorrect installation.

Check if the hob is correctly connected to the power supply, according to the installation instructions. Contact the installer.

All electrical connections should be made by a qualified electrician.


If the hob stopped working after some time after installation, please check the causes below to rectify the problem:

1. Make sure that no more than 10 seconds passed since you activated the hob.

Turn on the appliance again and select heat setting.

Automatic Switch Off - The function deactivates the hob automatically if  you do not set the heat setting after you activate the hob.
