Hotpoint TB 3977B BF Safety Instructions

To activate the child lock, press and hold the lock button for 3 seconds until the indicator light turns on. This will prevent any accidental changes to the settings.
First, ensure the hob is properly connected to the power supply and the circuit breaker is not tripped. If the hob still does not turn on, contact a qualified technician for further assistance.
Use a soft, damp cloth and a mild detergent to clean the surface. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads as they can scratch the ceramic surface.
To prevent scratches, avoid sliding pots and pans across the hob. Always lift them when moving. Use cookware with smooth, flat bases.
The clicking noise is typically caused by the hob's electronic components and is normal during operation. If the noise is unusual or bothersome, check for any loose parts or contact customer service.
To reset the hob, turn off the power supply for a few minutes and then turn it back on. This should reset the electronic controls.
Refer to the user manual for the specific error code meaning. Common solutions include resetting the hob or checking for obstructions that might cause overheating.
The Hotpoint TB 3977B BF is not an induction hob, so it does not require induction-specific cookware. You can use any cookware suitable for electric hobs.
Use the touch control panel to select the desired heat setting. Press the "+" or "-" buttons to increase or decrease the heat level.
Regularly clean the hob to prevent residue build-up. Inspect the power cord for any damage and ensure the ventilation openings are not blocked. Schedule professional maintenance if any operational issues arise.
