What should I do if the hob does not heat up?

If the hob does not heat up, first check that it is properly plugged in and the power supply is functioning. Ensure that the correct power setting is selected. If the problem persists, it may be an issue with the internal components, and you should contact a professional technician for assistance.

How can I unlock the control panel of my Thomson EGKT431SI Hob?

To unlock the control panel, press and hold the lock button for a few seconds until you hear a beep or the lock symbol disappears from the display. This feature is designed to prevent accidental changes to the settings.

What is the best way to prevent scratches on the hob surface?

To prevent scratches, avoid dragging cookware across the surface. Use cookware with flat, smooth bottoms and lift them instead of sliding. Additionally, regularly clean the hob to prevent build-up of food particles that can cause scratches.

How can I reset the Thomson EGKT431SI Hob to factory settings?

To reset the hob to factory settings, disconnect it from the power supply for a few minutes and then reconnect. This should reset the electronic controls. If there is a specific reset function in the user manual, follow those instructions.

What cookware is suitable for use with the Thomson EGKT431SI Hob?

The Thomson EGKT431SI Hob is compatible with most flat-bottomed cookware. To ensure optimal performance, use cookware made of stainless steel, cast iron, or other materials designed for induction hobs. Avoid using cookware with concave bottoms.

Why does the hob make a buzzing noise when in use?

How do I know if the hob is still hot after cooking?

The hob features a residual heat indicator that remains lit until the surface has cooled down to a safe temperature. Always check this indicator before touching the hob surface to avoid burns.

Is it normal for the hob to cycle on and off during cooking?

Yes, it is normal for the hob to cycle on and off to maintain the set temperature. This is part of the energy-efficient design and helps in achieving precise cooking temperatures.

What should I do if the control panel is unresponsive?

If the control panel is unresponsive, check if the child lock feature is activated. If not, try resetting the hob by disconnecting it from the power supply for a minute. If the problem continues, contact a qualified technician for further diagnostics.
