Problem Solution

Cooktop zone controls 
display error code

•  If an error occurs that affects a zone, that zone will display an error 

and that specifi c zone will shut down. If the error affects more than 
one zone but a single Induction Heater, then the zones affected by 
that Induction Heater will display an error and those specifi c zones 
will shut down.  However if an error occurs that affects the whole 
cooktop, then the error will display in all zones and the whole cooktop 
will shut down.  If any error occurs try shutting power down to the 
cooktop then reapply power.  If the error persists then call Electrolux 
1-877-4ELECTROLUX (1-877-435-3287).
