• Cooktop not heating: Verify that compatible magnetic cookware is placed on the burner. The cookware must be centered on the heating zone.
• Error Code 'E0': This code typically indicates that no cookware is detected, the cookware is incompatible, or the cookware is not properly centered on the heating zone. Adjust or replace cookware as needed.
• Controls unresponsive: Check if the Child Safety Lock is activated. Deactivate it if necessary.
