Bertazzoni Cooktop H on the Display: Residual Heat Indicator

What H means

On Bertazzoni professional induction cooktops such as the PE244INDXV, PE304INDXV and PE365INDXV, and on TFT and hidden-slider cooktops, an H appears for each cooking zone that has been used and is still hot enough to cause burns. The H stays lit until the cooktop has cooled. On the induction rangetop PRO36RT5ICAT it shows until the zone drops below about 140°F (60°C). It is a warning, not an error.

Common causes of H

A zone that was recently used and is still hot
Heat conducted back from a hot pan into the glass
A normal indicator that simply has not cooled enough to go out

✓ One safe check you can try

1. Keep hands, cloths and plastic away from any zone showing H. 2. Wait for the H to go out before cleaning the glass. 3. Do not store anything on a cooktop that still shows H. 4. If H stays lit after several hours, with the cooktop off and cool, call us.

! Why to stop there

H is the cooktop doing its job, so nothing needs repairing when it appears after cooking.
Wiping or touching the glass early can burn you, and sugar spills can melt onto the surface.
If H never goes out, we diagnose it for a price you approve first, and the work carries a 30-day workmanship warranty.

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

How long does H stay on?

It stays lit until the zone has cooled. On the induction rangetop, that means until the temperature falls below about 140°F (60°C). Larger pans and longer cooking times mean it lingers longer.

Does H mean something is wrong?

No. It is a residual heat indicator that warns you the area has been used and can still burn. It is normal to see it for some time after you turn a zone off.

Why does H show on a zone I did not use?

Heat can spread across the glass from a hot pan on a neighboring zone. If H shows on a clearly unused, cold cooktop for hours, let us look at it.
