TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE & CUSTOMER SERVICE

If after reviewing the troubleshooting guide the problem is not resolved, do not attempt to
repair yourself. Contact your dealer or call our Customer Service Department at 1-800-227­0196 for additional information.

After plugging in the power cord, the Power Indicator light does not illuminate and/or the
exhaust fan is not running.

• The plug may be loose in the electrical outlet

• Check your circuit breaker. It may be inoperative and not providing power to the unit.

The power indicator light is on, but the fan is not running and the cookware is not heating up.

• The cookware is unsuitable and it is preventing operation (see Selecting the Proper Cookware)

• The pan needs to be centered on the glass plate

• The glass plate may be cracked

The induction cooktop suddenly stops heating during operation and shuts down.

• The overheating sensor detected an excessive high surface temperature and caused it
to automatically shutdown. Heating empty or improper cookware may cause this (see
Selecting the Proper Cookware).

• The air inlet or exhaust fan is blocked and caused it to overheat

• The unit was accidentally unplugged

• The fuse or circuit breaker has malfunctioned

Error code guide:

If an error code appears in the LED display, follow the instructions for the particular problem.

E0 = Cookware Sensor Detection

Proper cookware is not detected (see Selecting the Proper Cookware).

Remedy

: Place correct cookware back on the cooktop within 30 seconds to reset. Unplug
from the power receptacle. Wait one minute and connect power supply and restart unit,
assuring first that proper cookware is placed on cooktop.

E01 = Internal Overheat Sensor

Internal temperature exceeds operation limit, cooling fan malfunction, or inadequate ventilation
for the cooktop.

Remedy

: Unplug from the power receptacle. Make sure that the fan is at least 4” away
from any obstruction. Wait 10 minutes for the cooktop and cookware to cool down, and
then plug it back into the 120V power receptacle. Make sure the fan is running.

E02 = Glass Cooktop Overheat Sensor

Glass cooking surface temperature exceeds the limit of 464°F (240°C), and shuts down after
one minute.

Remedy

: Unplug from the power receptacle. Wait 10 minutes for cooktop and cookware
to cool down and reconnect to the power receptacle. Restart, checking that the cooling/
exhaust fan is running and at least 4” away from any obstruction. If the error continues,
try using another size of cookware.

E03 = Incorrect Voltage Sensor

The 120V input power supply is too high or too low voltage and shuts down after one minute.

Remedy:

Unplug from the power receptacle. Using voltage sensor, verify that the voltage

is 110/120V AC. If not, switch electrical outlets or correct before operating the unit.

Note:

If any of the above remedies fail to correct the problem, please contact Customer Service

at 1-800-227-0196.

Section 7
COOKING WITH INDUCTION INTERFACE DISKS

The Induction Interface Disk (#6010) is an accessory that allows you to use cookware that
is not induction-rated (not ferrous or magnetic metal). It acts as an interface between your
non-magnetic cookware and the induction cooktop to transfer the heat to the non-magnetic
cookware. When cooking in this manner, you can expect efficiency to drop compared to
using induction-rated cookware. The benefit is that you don’t have to replace your current
cookware. Always follow the instructions included with the Induction Interface Disk when
using it with the Induction Cooktop unit. Item #6010 is sold separately, and is available on our
website at www.aervoe.com.
