Bertazzoni Induction Rangetop Code L: child lock switched on

What L means

On the Bertazzoni PRO36RT5ICAT knob-controlled induction rangetop, an L on the display means the child lock is on. The rangetop is locked against accidental use. It is set with every zone off by turning the knobs of zones 1 and 2 to the left until L appears. The owner sees the L and finds the zones will not start when the other knobs are turned.

Common causes of L

The child lock was turned on deliberately and not turned off
Knobs for zones 1 and 2 turned to the left by accident while cleaning
Someone else in the household enabled the lock

✓ One safe check you can try

1. Make sure all zones are off. 2. Turn the knobs of zones 1 and 2 to the left again, the same way that set the lock, until the L goes out. 3. Try a zone with a pan to confirm it responds. 4. Keep the knobs off while wiping the panel. 5. If the L will not clear, call us.

! Why to stop there

Pressing and twisting random knobs can change other settings.
A lock that will not release may point to a control board problem.
Do not open the control housing.

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.
