Induction cooktop zone does not heat, display shows E0 or a single dash when a pan is placed.

Safety first: Ensure the cooktop surface is cool before touching the glass.

• Check cookware: Use a flat-bottomed, ferromagnetic pan (a magnet should stick firmly to the base). Avoid aluminum, copper, or glass unless they are induction-compatible.
• Match pan size to zone: Make sure the pan base covers the marked cooking zone. Very small pans may not be detected.
• Center the pan: Place the pan centrally on the zone and select a power level again.
• Test with another pan: Try a different known induction-compatible pot. If E0 persists only on one zone with good cookware, the zone’s coil sensor or power module may be faulty and require professional service.

Note: Slight humming or clicking is normal when induction is working; absence of any sound with E0 suggests the zone is not energizing.
