6. Troubleshooting Guide
Before contacting customer support, please refer to the following common issues 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. Verify power supply from the outlet. Check household circuit breaker. |
| Cooktop turns on but does not heat. | Incompatible cookware; cookware not centered; small cookware base. | Use induction-compatible cookware (magnetic base). Ensure cookware is centered on the cooking zone. Use cookware with a base diameter of at least 12 cm. |
| Display shows an error code. | Overheating; internal fault; sensor issue. | Turn off the cooktop, unplug it, and let it cool down for 10-15 minutes. Plug it back in and try again. If the error persists, contact customer support. |
| Unusual noise during operation. | Normal fan operation; cookware vibration. | A low humming sound is normal due to the cooling fan. Some cookware may vibrate slightly, which is also normal. If the noise is loud or unusual, contact support. |
| Food not cooking evenly. | Cookware quality; incorrect power setting. | Ensure you are using high-quality, flat-bottomed induction-compatible cookware. Adjust power settings as needed for the specific dish. |
