Induction cooking is very efficient; however, there are a few tips you can use to troubleshoot your Summit Induction Cooktop should you find you are having problems with it.

E0 Error

  1. Put a pan on the cooktop surface if you receive an E0 error. This error indicates the absence of cookware on the ceramic surface.

  2. Remove your cookware if you are still receiving an error.

  3. Hold a magnet next to your cookware. If the magnet sticks to the cookware, it is appropriate to use with an induction cooktop.

  4. Place the cookware back on the cooktop if the magnet sticks, or replace it with appropriate cookware if the magnet does not stick.

E1 Error

  1. Turn off the cooktop.

  2. Remove the cookware from the cooktop.

  3. Unblock any external ventilation slots.

  4. Let the cooktop cool down for at least 10 minutes.

  5. Place the cookware back on the cooktop and turn it on again.

E2 Error

  1. Check to see if there is any food in the pan.

  2. Place food in the pan if there isn't any in it.

  3. Turn the cooktop off if the error does not disappear and let it cool down for at least 10 minutes.

  4. Resume cooking by placing the cookware back on the cooktop and turning it on again.
