Hob displays message F

Issue

• Hob / cooker displays error message "F"

Applies to

• integrated induction hob
• freestanding cooker with induction hob

Resolution

Induction Technology works on magnetic fields and will only work with cookware that is induction compatible.

The "F" code displaying on induction hobs generally means the hob has not registered with the cookware or the cookware has been removed from the zone.

• Ensure your cookware is induction compatible. Refer to the article: What cookware is suitable for cooking zones with induction heating?
• Place the saucepan directly on the zone

If F is still displaying on your induction hob this could indicate that there is a connection fault therefore the appliance will need to be inspected by a qualified electrician.
