Possible Causes
Missing or damaged heat shields, Blocked cooling airflow under cooktop, Oversized cookware covering multiple burners, Incorrect installation clearance
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off all burners and allow the surface to cool. Avoid touching hot metal or glass.
- Check cookware size: Use pans that match the burner size and avoid oversized griddles that trap heat over controls.
- Inspect installation: Verify that the cooktop or range has the required clearances and ventilation as per the DeLonghi installation manual.
- Check heat shields: Remove the cooktop from the counter (if built-in) and ensure all factory-installed heat shields and insulation are present and correctly positioned.
- Professional inspection: If surfaces still overheat, have a technician check for missing insulation, damaged cooling fans (on induction models), or improper installation.
