Resolution

What Do These Errors Mean?

These symptoms typically indicate an installation or electrical supply issue.

For safety and performance, our appliances require precise installation, and any irregularity may prevent correct operation.

Important Safety Advice

We strongly recommend not attempting repairs yourself.

Unauthorised intervention may:

  • Damage your appliance
  • Void warranty
  • Create safety risks

Common Cause in New Installations

If your induction hob is newly installed, the issue is often related to setup.

This includes:

  • First-time connection to power
  • Connection to a different outlet
  • Electrical circuit overload

Recommended Checks

1. Confirm Power Supply

Check the socket using another appliance.
If there is no power, consult a qualified electrician.

2. Inspect for Visible Damage

Look for signs of heat or moisture affecting cables or connections.

3. Check the Fuse

If the fuse trips repeatedly, this indicates a deeper electrical issue.

4. Review Installation Instructions

Ensure the appliance has been installed in line with the installation instructions supplied with the hob.

These guidelines are designed to ensure:

  • Correct electrical connection
  • Safe operation
  • Optimal performance

If needed, refer to the manual for model‑specific requirements.
