What A
actually means.
When an A alternates with the power level, the automatic heating function has been set. The zone runs at full heat for a time that depends on the level you chose, then returns to that level by itself.

What to do when A shows on the cooktopKind of codeMode, not a failure
A state the cooktop was put in, or one it picked deliberately — a child lock, a demo mode that lights the keys but heats nothing, a residual-heat letter over a zone that is still warm, a prompt that no pan has been found. Nothing has broken and no part is called for.
Usually leads toNo repair
Nothing is needed; let the timed boost finish.
Shows up asCooktop Simmer Too Hot
The lowest setting still boils sauces, scorches rice, or will not hold a gentle simmer on a gas burner or an electric element.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Bertazzoni's own guidance for A on its cooktops. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Nothing is needed; let the timed boost finish.
If you did not mean to set it, choose the power level again with a normal short press.
If the pan spits or boils too hard while A shows, set the power level again with a short press to end the boost early.
Cleared?
The cooktop came right without a new part. If the same message returns while a zone or burner is on, or the top shuts itself down again mid-meal, treat it as a fresh problem and book it.
What not to do
A is not a warning or an alarm. It shows a cooking feature at work, so no repair is involved.
What you may
notice with it.
The cooktop problems A tends to arrive with. Answer these at the cooktop before anyone is booked.
