What L
actually means.
An L on the displays means the child lock has been switched on. It is set by pressing a zone display for three seconds and sliding the slider from 0 to 9 within ten seconds, and the same sequence takes it off again.

What to do when L 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
Repeat the lock sequence from the manual to turn the child lock off.
Shows up asCooktop Controls Unresponsive
Touch keys or a slider do nothing, the display lights but ignores every press, or a knob turns without starting its burner or element.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Bertazzoni's own guidance for L on its cooktops. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Repeat the lock sequence from the manual to turn the child lock off.
Make sure no pan or cloth covers the zone displays while you try the unlock sequence, because it starts with a three-second press on one of them.
If the L will not go away, book a visit so the touch interface can be checked.
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
L is not a sign that the cooktop has failed or lost power. The controls are locked on purpose.

about L.
Can I clear L myself?
How do I turn off the L on my Bertazzoni cooktop?
Is the L child lock the same as the keypad lock on a Bertazzoni cooktop?
Why do I have to slide from 0 to 9 to clear the L on a Bertazzoni TFT cooktop?
