Safety Checks You Can Do

9
  1. 1
    • Check that the cooktop circuit breaker in your electrical panel has not tripped; switch it OFF then back ON if needed
  2. 2
    • Unplug the cooktop or turn off the dedicated circuit breaker for 60 seconds, then restore power to perform a complete reset
  3. 3
    • Ensure the cooktop surface is completely clean and dry; wipe away any spills, grease, or cooking residue that may interfere with sensors
  4. 4
    • Verify you are using cookware compatible with your cooktop type (for induction models, confirm cookware is ferromagnetic and sits flat)
  5. 5
    • Review the control panel settings to ensure no child lock, demo mode, or safety features are accidentally activated
  6. 6
    • Allow the cooktop to cool completely for at least 10-15 minutes before attempting to use it again
  7. 7
    • Test with a different cooking zone to determine if error is isolated to one burner or affects the entire unit
  8. 8
    • Inspect the cooktop power cord and connection point for any visible damage, loose connections, or corrosion
  9. 9
    • Consult your user manual for model-specific reset procedures or error code clarification
Always unplug the appliance before performing any physical check. These are visual/external checks only.
