Bertazzoni Induction Range Code H: residual heat on the cooking zone

What H means

On Bertazzoni induction ranges, such as the PRO365ICFEPXT, MAS365ICFEPXT and HER365ICFEPXT, an H on the display after use shows that there is residual heat in the cooking zone. The symbol goes out when the surface temperature drops below about 140F (60C). It is not an error; it is a hot surface warning. The owner sees the H next to a zone that has been switched off.

Common causes of H

A pan or zone used recently that is still hot
Heat transferred from the cookware to the glass
Short cooldown after switching off

✓ One safe check you can try

1. Leave the zone alone until the H goes out. 2. Keep hands, cloths and pans away from the glass. 3. Do not place plastic or paper on the surface. 4. Wait until the H is gone before cleaning. 5. If H stays on for hours with the zone cold, call us.

! Why to stop there

Touching hot glass burns skin.
A stuck H points to a sensor issue.
Cleaning a hot top can crack it.

Opening a panel yourself does not automatically cancel a manufacturer warranty, but it can cause accidental damage, and some manufacturers set their own service conditions. Check your warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.

HH questions

Is the H an error?

No. It marks residual heat in the cooking zone after use. It goes out by itself once the surface falls below about 140F (60C), and nothing needs to be reset.

How long does the H stay on?

That depends on the pan, the power level and how long you cooked, often 15 to 30 minutes after a long boil. If it never goes out on a cold surface, call us.

Is it safe to touch the zone with H on?

No. The glass can still burn skin at that temperature. Keep hands, dish towels and plastic items away from the zone until the H disappears, which happens as the surface cools below about 140F.
