To lock the control panel, press and hold the lock button for a few seconds until the indicator light turns on. This locks the hob and prevents any changes until it is unlocked.
First, ensure that the hob is properly connected to the power supply. Check that the circuit breaker has not tripped. If the problem persists, contact a qualified technician for further diagnostics.
Use a non-abrasive cleaner and a soft cloth to clean the ceramic surface. Avoid using harsh chemicals or scrub pads that may damage the surface. Wipe spills immediately to prevent stains.
Clicking noises are normal as they indicate the hob's electronic controls adjusting power levels. However, if the noise is excessive or continuous, inspect for any loose components or contact customer service.
To reset the hob, turn off the power supply for a few minutes and then turn it back on. If the hob does not reset, consult the manual or contact support for assistance.
Use flat-bottomed pans made of materials such as stainless steel or cast iron. Avoid using copper or aluminum pans that do not have a magnetic base, as they are not compatible with induction hobs.
To prevent scratches, avoid sliding cookware across the surface. Use cookware with smooth, clean bottoms and avoid using metal utensils directly on the surface.
The 'E' error code may indicate a malfunction or an issue with the power supply. Refer to the user manual for specific error code explanations or contact customer support for troubleshooting.
It is recommended to have a qualified electrician install the hob to ensure it is correctly connected to the electrical supply and complies with safety standards.
To adjust the cooking zones, use the touch control panel to select the desired zone and set the power level. Follow the instructions in the user manual for detailed steps.
