with a clean damp sponge or
cloth.

Possible causes
No power.
The controls are locked.
There may be a slight film of
water over the controls or you
may be using the tip of your
finger when touching the
controls.
Rough-edged cookware.
Unsuitable, abrasive scourer or
cleaning products being used.
This may be caused by the
construction of your cookware
(layers of different metals
vibrating differently).
This is caused by the technology
of induction cooking.
• The cooktop may beep and turn
itself off, and the touch controls
may not function while there is
liquid on them. Make sure you wipe
the touch control area dry before
turning the cooktop back on.
What to do
Make sure the induction hob is
connected to the power supply
and that it is switched on.
Check whether there is a power
outage in your home or area. If
you've checked everything and the
problem persists, call a qualified
technician.
Unlock the controls. See section
'Using your induction cooktop' for
instructions.
Make sure the touch control area is
dry and use the ball of your finger
when touching the controls.
Use cookware with flat and smooth
bases. See 'Choosing the right
cookware'.
See 'Care and cleaning'.
This is normal for cookware and
does not indicate a fault.
This is normal, but the noise should
quieten down or disappear
completely when you decrease the
heat setting.
