Check that the appliance is properly connected to an earthed wall socket and that the plug is firmly inserted; if the light remains off, the unit may need service.
How do I start cooking with the induction cooker?
Plug the appliance into a grounded socket, press the power‑on/off button, place suitable cookware on the cooking zone, then press the start button or a preset mode button to begin cooking.
