7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your induction cooktop, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Cooktop does not turn on. | No power supply; loose plug; power outage. | Check if the plug is securely inserted and the power outlet is functional. Verify main power supply. |
| Cookware is not heating. | Cookware is not induction-compatible; cookware is too small or too large for the heating zone; no cookware detected. | Ensure cookware is induction-compatible (a magnet sticks to the bottom). Use cookware with a base diameter appropriate for the heating zone. Place cookware centrally on the cooktop. |
| Display shows an error code. | Specific internal error; overheating; voltage fluctuation. | Refer to the specific error code in the full manual (if available) or unplug the unit, wait a few minutes, and plug it back in. If the issue persists, contact customer support. |
| Unusual noise during operation. | Normal fan operation; resonance from cookware. | A slight humming sound from the cooling fan is normal. Some cookware may produce a faint buzzing sound due to induction principles; this is not a defect. |
| Cooktop automatically shuts off. | Overheating protection; no cookware detected for an extended period; timer expired. | Allow the unit to cool down. Ensure cookware is present and induction-compatible. Check if a timer was set. |
