What to do when F1 shows on the stoveKind of codeStovetop elements
A burner on an electric or induction stovetop did not heat the way the knob or key asked, heated with nothing set, or ran hotter than the setting. The pan, a lock left on and the switch behind the knob are checked before the element under the glass, its limiter or an induction board is changed. If a burner keeps heating after it has been switched off, turn the stove's breaker off before anything else.

Remove the pan and let the zone cool.
Switch the zone back on and keep cooking.
Book a visit if F1 or F6 returns with normal use.
What not to do
