- Dry the surface thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth to prevent water spots.
- Clean the ventilation openings regularly to prevent dust buildup.
6.2 Storage
When not in use for extended periods, store the cooktop in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Ensure it is clean and completely dry before storage.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your cooktop, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Cooktop does not turn on. | Not plugged in; power outage; faulty outlet. | Check power connection; verify power supply; try a different outlet. |
| Cookware not heating. | Non-compatible cookware; cookware too small/large; no cookware present. | Use induction-compatible cookware; ensure cookware is within 12-26 cm diameter. |
| Display shows an error code. | Specific internal error. | Refer to the specific error code in a more detailed troubleshooting guide (if available) or contact customer support. Try resetting the unit by unplugging and replugging. |
| Unusual noise during operation. | Normal fan operation; resonance from cookware. | A low humming sound from the cooling fan is normal. Some cookware may produce a slight buzzing sound due to vibration; this is not a defect. |
If the problem persists after attempting these solutions, please contact customer support.
