What F5
actually means.
Thermador's F5 means hot cookware is close to the controls. With a flashing power level the electronics are at risk; with the zone switched off, they have been protected.

What to do when F5 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.
