Before you book,
in this order.

Each step comes from ILVE's own guidance for H on its stoves. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.

01

Keep away from that zone until the H disappears.

02

Keep children's hands and dish towels away from it.

03

No repair is needed.

Cleared?

The stove is working again and no part was needed. If the same letters come back while a burner or the oven is on, or the stove switches itself off again in the middle of dinner, book it as a new problem.

What not to do

An H does not mean the zone is still on or has jammed. It is showing heat left in the glass after cooking.

What you may
notice with it.

The stove problems H tends to arrive with. Answer these at the stove before anyone is booked.

All problems

No repair indicated

Nothing to repair.

Something the stove was switched into, often by accident, rather than something that broke: a control lock pressed while wiping the panel, a Sabbath setting, a showroom demo mode that lights the display and heats nothing, a reminder that a spot on the stovetop is still hot. No part is worn out, and the stove's own keys put it right.

In ILVE's own words

changes to the symbol [H], if the cooking area is still hot.

Questions
about H.

Can I clear H myself?
Keep away from that zone until the H disappears.
Why does my ILVE show 0 and then H when I turn a zone off?
The manual describes exactly that: 0 for three seconds, then H while the area is still hot. It is normal.
Is my ILVE zone still heating while H shows?
No. The zone is off; H only warns that the glass has not cooled yet.
My ILVE H never clears even when cold. What now?
If H stays on a plainly cold top, the zone's sensing may be off. Note the zone and book a visit.

Back to your everyday

Still showing H?

Book with the code written exactly as the stove shows it, the full model number, and whether you notice any smell of gas or hot wiring — when there is a code, that is where the diagnosis starts.
