Troubleshooting Guide
Surface units may not function properly if the cookware is not compatible or is too small. Ensure you are using a ferrous pan that meets the minimum size requirements for the element. Verify that the pan is properly centered within the cooking zone graphics.
A flashing power setting often indicates an issue with pan detection or placement. Confirm that the pan is correctly positioned on the surface element. Also, check that the cooktop control is set appropriately for the selected cooking function.
This symptom can stem from power sharing between elements or a high cooktop temperature. Check if power sharing is active between two elements, as described in the Boost Mode and Power Sharing section. If the temperature is high, allow the internal fan to cool the cooktop.
A low humming noise is normal when using induction coils, especially at higher power settings. This sound may also be influenced by the type of cookware used and the amount of content within the pan. Pans that completely cover the graphics on the glass surface tend to produce less noise.
