Frequently Asked Questions - CT451 Montpellier

How do I clean the ceramic hob?

Allow the hob to cool completely. Use a soft cloth or sponge with a special ceramic hob cleaner. Avoid abrasive pads or harsh chemicals.

Why does one of the cooking zones not heat up?

Check if the zone is properly selected and the knob is turned to a heat setting. If it still doesn't heat, the heating element may be faulty. Contact a qualified technician.

Can I use a wok on this stove?

Yes, you can use a flat-bottomed wok on the appropriate size zone. For best results, use a wok with a thick, flat base to ensure good contact.

How do I activate the child lock?

Press and hold the child lock button (usually marked with a key icon) for 3 seconds until the indicator lights up. To deactivate, repeat the same procedure.

What should I do if the stove does not turn on?

First, check that the unit is plugged in and the circuit breaker is on. If it still doesn't power on, the internal fuse may have blown. Consult the manual or a professional.

How do I install the hob correctly?

Ensure the cutout dimensions match the hob. Secure the hob using the provided brackets. For electrical connection, hire a licensed electrician. Do not attempt DIY electrical work.

Is this hob compatible with induction pans?

No, this model uses radiant heating elements. It works with any flat-bottomed cookware made of stainless steel, enamel, copper, or aluminum. Induction pans require an induction hob.

How to reset the hob after a power cut?

After a power cut, the hob may enter a lock state. Turn off the main switch, wait 30 seconds, and turn it back on. Then activate a zone by turning the knob to a low setting.

What does the residual heat indicator mean?

When a zone is hot, an H symbol will appear on the display. Do not touch the surface until the symbol disappears. It indicates the zone is still dangerous.

What is covered under warranty?

The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship for 2 years. It does not cover normal wear, misuse, or unauthorized repairs. Keep your proof of purchase.
