Check the power connection and ensure the hob is plugged in securely. Check the fuse in the plug. Consult the user manual for any specific error codes.

Poor heating performance.

Ensure you are using induction-compatible cookware. Check that the cookware base is flat and making good contact with the hob surface. Consider the power management and limit the total power used if on a 13 amp connection.

Ensure your fingers are dry when operating the touch controls. Clean the control panel with a soft cloth to remove any grease or debris.

Compatibility

This induction hob requires cookware with a magnetic base. You can test your cookware with a magnet; if the magnet sticks to the bottom, it is induction compatible. The hob is compatible with most standard kitchen setups due to its 60 cm width.

Care

  • Cleaning: After each use, wipe the surface with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners and steel wool, which can scratch the glass-ceramic surface.
  • Spills: Clean spills immediately to prevent them from burning onto the surface.
  • Cookware: Use flat-bottomed cookware for optimal heat transfer.
