Nothing will operate
Has a household fuse blown, or has a circuit breaker
tripped?
Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. If the problem
continues, call an electrician.
Is the cooktop wired properly?
See the Installation Instructions for more information.
Cooktop will not operate
Is your cooktop really not operating?
Elements start and stop glowing when turned on because the
cooktop elements cycle on and off to reach the right
temperature. In low settings, such as Keep Warm™, the
elements do not glow but will still maintain the right
temperature. This is part of the normal operation of the
product.
On models with knob controls, is the control knob set
correctly?
Push in the knob before turning to a setting.
On models with touch-activated electronic controls, is
the "Control Lock" cooktop lockout set?
Press and hold "Control Lock" for 3 seconds
Has one or more burners stopped working during use?
Allow the cooktop to cool down for 30 minutes then turn the
burner on again. If the cooktop was beeping at the time the
burner stopped working, see "Cooktop is beeping" in this
section.
Excessive heat around cookware on cooktop
Is the cookware the proper size?
Use cookware about the same size as the surface cooking
area, element or surface burner. Cookware should not extend
more than ½" (1.3 cm) outside the cooking area.
Do cooktop surfaces become hot?
REMEMBER: When cooktop is in use, the entire cooktop
area may become hot.
