The asko induction error code families matter because, unlike Asko ovens, Asko induction hobs actually publish decoded error codes, but only in two separate, non-overlapping sets tied to which generator electronics your specific hob uses. Mixing them up means reading the wrong meaning off the wrong table entirely, since the same letter or number can mean something completely different depending on which family your hob belongs to.
The F-series family
The F-series family is documented on the Asko HI1655M induction hob and covers codes F00, F0 through F6, FC, F7, F8, F9, F99, FA, and FAN. F00 and FAN both indicate a defective generator and call for contacting a service department. F0 through F6 and FC together indicate the ambient temperature around the cooktop is not suitable, with the remedy being to switch off any other heat sources near the cooking surface. F7 means the appliance has overheated, and the fix is letting it cool before restarting on a lower power setting. F9, paired with a continuous beep, simply means two or more buttons were pressed at once. F99 means the mains voltage is too low, which is a utility supply issue rather than an appliance problem. FA means air circulation around the hob is inadequate, and the manual specifically calls out checking that ventilation holes under the cooking plate are not blocked.
The Er-series family
The second, entirely separate family is documented on the Asko HI1621G induction hob and uses Er03, E2, E3, E5, E6, and U400, along with Er47. Er03, paired with a continuous beep, indicates the control panel is dirty or has water on it, and simply cleaning the panel resolves it. E2 means the appliance has overheated, similar in meaning to F7 in the other family despite the different code format. E3 means the cookware in use lacks the ferromagnetic properties induction cooking requires. E5 and E6 both indicate a defective generator. Er47 indicates a communication error between the controls and the induction generator, and the manual suggests verifying the main power connection before contacting service.
The one code that means the same electrical-safety thing in both families
F8, in the F-series family, and U400, in the Er-series family, both mean the exact same thing despite the different label: the appliance is either connected incorrectly or the mains voltage is too high, and the remedy in both manuals is identical, having the connection changed. This is worth treating seriously rather than as routine, since it is describing a wiring or supply issue that carries real electrical-safety implications, not a minor nuisance problem.
Figuring out which family your hob has
Since the two families do not overlap in code format, seeing a plain numeric-and-letter F-code versus an Er or E-prefixed code is itself a strong hint, but confirming the exact model designation from your rating plate, alongside the Art. No., is the reliable way to know for certain before assuming a meaning from either table. Gas hobs, for comparison, publish no codes at all, so any code display at all confirms you are dealing with an induction unit.
