how can i fix my schott ceran electronic hob? when i turn it on it shows"L"?

when i turn on my schott ceran hobthe LED shows a"L" instead of a "o" an i cant turn it on
melanie, January 2008
When I turn my schott cewan hob on all the lights come on when I touch each sensor, I have power, numbers on each one goes from. 1 to 9 . On every ring, it is not locked. The problem is none of the 4 rings heat up , I've had it a year and no problems . I think it must be a sequence problem but I can't work it out ! Can anyone help please .

If I was you i would get rid of it we have had one for ten years and it is nothing but trouble. In todays day and age you would think that something so simple should be so complicated to reset. Im getting rid of this piece of crap.

Can anyone help can't get any heat from my hob the center one works fine but the 4 rings don't they just flash

George, August 2014
Thanks the above comments helped us.
Press power button, Then L will appear for all the hobs instead of 0s . Now press "+" and "-" at the same time. The lock button LED should glow and then press "-" button which will switch off the hob. Now your hob should be back to normal.

Mr White, November 2013
Had the same, thought I would have to buy a new one!! Followed Dalia's advice and it worked, what a relief, thanks Dalia

Lesley, August 2013
I have bought a new flat with one of these hobs and i am not sure if it works a it has a key sign and doesnt work any help would be great

Michelle, May 2013
My model has a key-symbol with a red led-light. As it happened the short electricity cut locked my "stove". I tried everything above until took ready-to-spray window cleaner and sprayed some on the buttons. The first touch on lock button turned the button off.

So sometimes the most obvious way IS the best way. ;-)

Doug, January 2013
Mine has a "U" flashing In one, a "4" on the next and "0's" on the other two. It's beeping very annoyingly and when I hold the on/off button for 5 seconds it shows an "E" flashing on all of them. Anybody knows how to fix this?

Juan Carlos, November 2012

thea potsides, November 2012

sandris, November 2012
Thankyou for your help. It's working again now

Porg, October 2012
I had the same problem and I just fixed it.

1) Press the power button (an L sign appears)
2) Hold the + and - buttons simultaneously (you'll hear a sound and a light turned on on the key sign)
3) leave the + and - button and then press only -
It will switch off. Now switch it on and will work :)

Dalia, August 2012
My left upper hob gets switched off by itself and cannot be turned on. Sometimes it gets turned on after many tries pressing diffrent button combinations. Can somebody help?

Thank you very much!

guiem, February 2012
Hi, Thanks for the brill advice, havent had a hobb for weeks.After checking this thread out , I followed instructions from the first thread, bottom right button and - button together. 0 comes up again, then press - again , hobb turns off. Turn on as normal 0 is back . Thank you . Ahhh the possibilities for tea tonight can't wait.

odiekanobie, September 2011
Press Bottom Right "+" and "-" in centre together. This will change the display to "0" on all hobs.

Then presee central "-". This will switch off the hobs.

Now if you switch on the child lock should go with all "0" as display on hobs.

SS, September 2011
worked for me 1st time many thanks

nigel t, May 2011
Thank you to Paul Corbett dec 2009
I see the problem as having inadvertantly keyed the child lock safety feature
I tried paul`s system of switch on
hold right ring bottom and minus together
the lock goes off
then press the minus again
the hob switchs off
when you now switch on there will be no lock

DUNCAN, October 2010
it's n't turn on and show indicates L.

BALPREET SANDHU, September 2010
My husband had been trying all afternoon to sort the "lock" problem and had no luck, just chanced on this forum andf tried the minus and bottom right hand button, and it worked, thankyou so much. Will try to disable it when we've cooked the dinner. Thanks again.

Vi, September 2010
press and hold the lock sign for 5 sec.

slats, August 2010
thankyou so much haven't been able to cook for 2 days (not a bad thing :)) and this worked !!

Tina, June 2010
I have tryed all different ways but cant unlock it, so i just pressed bottom two + buttons, and it worked.

Yoki, May 2010
letter "L" shown on display means lock to prevent child's to switch it on to unlock press - and right bottom + at same time . it dose work

chris29, May 2010
Press - for five seconds. Did the trick for my Electrolux ceran 56d

NO, May 2010
minus button and bottom right together worked for me thank you and free

daveastra, February 2010
to fix this problem you have to turn on the hob and then
press the centre minus button and the bottom right plus button at the same time it will work if not keep trying it took me a while but it works

gav glasagow, February 2010
Pressed right bottom heat zone and minus button together and then minus button again to unlock.

The right and minus didn't always seem to unlock it so switched off and on again until it worked again, read elsewhere about the minus button so the next time i got it to unlock i pressed the minus button again and it turned itself off, when i switched it back on it stayed unlocked !!!

Paul Corbett, December 2009
HI people
i have the same problem with the "L"'s but once i press the buttons as you recommend it shows error then turns off.
Can any one help??

ALex, November 2009
Thank you very much.
I had L sign. pressed and held one - one +
button .i worked.:)

Zeynep, October 2009
My Shott Ceran electric glass hob came up with a flashing lock and stopped working. I tried all the combinations of button holding down mentioned above but none worked. I also couldn't find a manual online to download incidentally, well not a free one anyway. Anyway, I held down the on button on the far left and after about ten seconds it reset itself and is working fine now!

Paul, July 2009
Mine shows a flashing H at two rings, how can I get rid of this ?

mary, May 2009
this is terribly annoying! I still cannot remove the lock on my hob; i have tried holding down the 'hob sign' at the bottom right simultaneously with the minus sign- but this simply comes up with an error signal and when i switch the hob back on, the lock is still in place. HELP!!!! please

Mandy, February 2009
press minus + bottom right = :)

rafael, December 2008
Aktiver så der står L 4 steder. Tryk derefter samtidig på minus i midten og på den nederste plus til højre. Så skriver den Nul på alle plader efter få sekunder. Tryk derefter på Minus i midten så er låsen slået fra

Laila Launy, October 2008
Slightly unrelated, but I installed a Schott Ceran topped matsui ceramic hob but when i turned it on I had a flashing 'H' on the top left hob. although it didn't stop that hob working, it was very annoying.

I found by turning it on and holding that hobs button and the minus button this cleared it!

Hope this helps someone...

Steve, September 2008
L stands for Lock
Press and hold 2 buttons to unlock

Mr Fixit, September 2008
I found out how to disable it!
Do the exact same to unlock the hob and then press the minus sensor in the centre.
The hob will then turn off, turn it back on and their should be no 'L'!

Tom, April 2008
You have to hold down the centre sensor button with the minus on and the sensor which turns on the bottom right ring immediatley after turning the hob on. It should unlock, however this will not disable the lock so after you switch the hob off it may show up with the 'L' once again.
You can disable it but I haven't found out how just yet!

Tom, April 2008
Me too!

Its a safety lock and holding down the 'minus' sign and top right 'plus' sign for 5 seconds is supposed to clear it. Unfortunately this hasn't worked for me, I just get a 'error 3' message.

Mo, April 2008
I am having the very same issue and i'm completely bewildered as how to fix it! Any help? From Anyone? please
