5.5 Error messages from the electronic circuit board
The electronic circuit board has been designed to protect the hob components from malfunctions that
can damage them. For this purpose, some error messages have been provided, visible through the
power display.
If error codes from
F1 to F9, should appear on the display, call the authorised service centre and tell
them the error code you have read.
If the display appears in this way and an acoustic BEEP is heard, it means that a metal object
has been left inadvertently on the hob and that it could become hot if the hob is switched on.
5.6 Safety functions against accidental operations
To provide the user with the utmost safety, this appliance has been equipped with various safety
devices.
1) if two keys are accidentally pressed, no function is switched on. After 10 seconds, the
electronic circuit board will deactivate the product and some signs will appear on the
power displays;
2) in the case in which the electronic circuit board continues to register a key being pressed
after the maximum power level has been reached, a safety device will automatically
deactivate the hob;
3) after a drop in current the appliance is not automatically restarted;
Points 1) and 2) can occur, for example, in the case in which a pan has been badly positioned on the
cooking hob and it covers the hotplate ON/OFF keys.
