Error codeE1
ApplianceCooktop
Quick answer
E1 is a heat-protection code on Bertazzoni induction hobs. Cool the hob and restart.
Model compatibility: Bertazzoni reuses codes across series and model years, so E1 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
Plain language
What this code means
E1 reports a high temperature reading at the ceramic glass plate sensor of the induction hob.
E1 in brief
Bertazzoni’s induction hob manual lists E1 as a high reading at the temperature sensor of the ceramic glass plate. When a fault like this appears, the hob puts itself into a protective state and shows the matching code from the manual’s table.
Restart once it has cooled
Switch off every cooking zone.
Let the hob cool. No waiting time is printed; the condition is simply that it has cooled.
Power the hob on again.
The table gives no other owner action for this code.
If the code returns
Do not open the hob. The manual warns that this could injure you and damage the unit, and it refers further service needs to the supplier.

Questions about E1
Does E1 mean the same as E2? No. E1 is about the glass plate sensor, E2 about the IGBT sensor, though the manual prescribes the identical restart for both.
How long should I wait? The manual states no duration, only that the hob must have cooled down before the restart.
Can I fix it myself beyond that? No. A restart after cooling is the one owner remedy the table contains for E1.

Important safety warning. Do not attempt repairs involving electrical components, gas, water lines, refrigerant or sealed systems. Unplug the appliance if it is safe to reach the outlet, and leave internal diagnostics to a qualified technician.
