Safety Checks You Can Do

8
  1. 1
    • Check your home circuit breaker panel to ensure the 240V dedicated cooktop circuit has not tripped; switch breaker off and on if needed
  2. 2
    • Ensure the cooktop surface is completely clean and dry; wipe away any spills, moisture, or food debris from the cooking surface and around the control knobs
  3. 3
    • If you have an induction model, verify that cookware has ferromagnetic properties by testing with a magnet; use only compatible cookware (stainless steel, cast iron, enameled steel)
  4. 4
    • Review the control panel settings to ensure no lock features or special modes are accidentally activated
  5. 5
    • Allow the cooktop to cool completely (at least 30 minutes) before attempting to use it again
  6. 6
    • Perform a hard reset by turning off the dedicated circuit breaker to the cooktop for exactly 60 seconds, then turn the breaker back on and check if the error clears
  7. 7
    • Verify that all visible power connections at the back of the cooktop are tight and show no signs of scorching or corrosion
  8. 8
    • Check if the error reappears consistently or was a one-time occurrence
Always unplug the appliance before performing any physical check. These are visual/external checks only.
