Hot plate switches itself off / beeps

Issue

  • Hot plate switches itself off / beeps
  • My induction hob turns off and beeps

Applies to:

  • induction hobs

Resolution

If the hot plate switches itself off / beeps, refer to the suggestions below for step-by-step instructions.

Possible causes:

Solutions:

The liquid is spilt on the control panel.

Wipe down the control panel with a damp cloth, then dry the surface with a towel.

No heat setting is selected.

If you switch on the hot plate without selecting the heat setting, the hob will switch itself off after approximately 10 seconds.

The control panel is covered.

If a cloth or other material covers the control panel (fully or partially), an acoustic signal will sound. Remove the object from the surface of the control panel.

Automatic switch off.

If the hob was left on for too long, it will switch itself off for safety reasons, in order to prevent the pots or the saucepans from boiling dry.

The procedure depends on the selected setting. Refer to the user manual, if applicable.

If you use incorrect cookware on your induction hob, the symbol "F" will appear on display and the cooking zone will deactivate automatically after 2 minutes.

To resolve this, ensure the cookware you are using is induction-compatible.

You can check if a pot or pan works on induction by placing a kitchen magnet on its bottom:

  • If the magnet sticks firmly → Induction compatible.
  • If it doesn’t stick → Not compatible.

Refer to the article: What cookware is suitable for cooking zones with induction heating?

Note: The time before the plate is switched off depends on the power setting selected. See the user manual.
