What E2
actually means.
On Smeg's SEU ceramic cooktops, E2 is a key-protection code. When three or more controls are touched together or held for a long time, often by a pan or a spill, an automatic device turns every zone off and shows E2.

What to do when E2 shows on the cooktopKind of codeTouch controls and keys
A key on the glass was held down too long, pressed with nothing there, or stopped answering altogether. Water, a spill or a pan resting on the key strip is ruled out first, then the touch board and its ribbon cable. If a zone keeps heating while the keys are dead, switch the cooktop off at the breaker.
Usually leads toTouch control repair
Glass touch keys and sliders that ignore a finger, start zones by themselves or stay locked, traced to the keys, the control board or the lock setting.
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 Smeg's own guidance for E2 on its cooktops. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Take away whatever is resting on the keys and wipe the control area dry.
Once nothing is touching the controls, switch the zones back on one at a time.
Switch the cooktop back on; if E2 appears with nothing touching the keys, book a visit.
What not to do
On a Smeg induction cooktop E2 means an overheated zone, not a key problem. Check the model plate: SEU is ceramic, SIMU is induction.
