F1 means the display board and left mainboard of a Bertazzoni induction hob are not connected.
Model compatibility: Bertazzoni reuses codes across series and model years, so F1 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
F1 is a failed connection between the display board and the left mainboard; the zone indicator shows E.
F1 in a nutshell
Two boards share the work inside an induction hob. The display board takes your touch and shows values, and the mainboard feeds power to the coils. F1 is Bertazzoni’s code for a failed connection between the display board and the left mainboard, and the cooking zone indicator shows E.
What the table says to do
The connection cable is not correctly plugged or is defective.
Replace the mainboard.
The manual does not tell the two apart. A technician with the hob open has to decide which applies.
Leave the hob closed
Both lines mean lifting the glass and handling electronics. Bertazzoni warns against taking the unit apart and sends owners to the supplier. Isolate the hob at the supply in the meantime.
Linked codes

E5: also lists a cable that is not plugged in correctly
Q&A
What does the E on the zone indicator mean? The manual notes it alongside F1 and gives no further explanation.
Cooktop questions
Can I tell whether it is the cable or the board? No. A loose cable and a failed board look alike from outside the hob, so only a technician with the hob open can say which applies.
Why E on the zone indicator? That is simply what the manual notes next to F1.
