My appliance isn’t working correctly

o The cooking zones are not functioning or will not switch

on.

* Check that the mains electrical supply to the appliance is correct

and working. Check the mains fuse.

o The residual heat indicator has not come on after I have

switched a cooking zone off.

* The cooking zone has only been turned on for a short period of

time; therefore it did not go above 65°C.

* IMPORTANT: If the cooking zone does appear to be hotter than

65°C and the residual heat indicator has not come on, you
should call the Baumatic Customer Care Department.

o A humming sound is heard when a cooking zone is

selected.

* This is normal; the sound will disappear when the zone heats up.

20

o The cooking zones have become discoloured
* This maybe caused by burnt on remnants of food. This will not

affect the working of the appliance. However you should make
sure that the cleaning instructions are being followed regularly.

o Only two of the zones on my hob are working

* You should recheck that the terminal screws are all fully

tightened between the links.

IMPORTANT: If your appliance appears not to be
operating correctly, then you should disconnect it
