I was using this for heating water and now I am using it to fry fish etc at 360 degrees but getting an error E2 all the time after 5 minutes.

Well, the "E2" is the error code which means your cooktop is overheating. The unit turns off if the electronics inside get too hot to prevent damage to the components inside. Please make sure there is good air flow through the unit. Fissler has a small fan, which sucks air in from the bottom of the unit and discharges through the grill in the back. Usually the air is coming out of its back is pretty warm since it goes over the electronics inside to cool them off. So, if the grill on the bottom of the unit is blocked or the back of the unit is too close to the wall, then the fan can NOT efficiently circulate air through the unit to cool off the electronics inside. As a result, the unit will OVERHEAT and shuts off. Please make sure the bottom grill of your Fissler is clean (no cat/dog hair) and it is at least 10 inches from the back wall. Also, you can prop up the four bottom corners of the unit without blocking the bottom grill for better air flow through the unit. Please remember it is all about the heat inside the unit. That is the reason your Fissler shuts off. I am sure if you make sure the unit is away from the wall and its bottom is clean and/or prop the corners up about one inch or so, it will not overheat. Mine never overheats even when I use temp 430 to saut stuff for 10 minute or so. Please let me if you still have problem with it after making sure of the above. Thanks very much. Scott

I have tried to grill small steaks of 4-5 OZ after warming the grill for about 10 minutes and the result was boiled piece of meat, if a device is not up to the task of what is advertised and claimed for to me is inherently defective. Stay away from a device that cannot deliver what is supposed to deliver which is grilling.

It sounds like a defective cooker. Apparently the temperature sensor inside the unit does not know what is going on.I would try contacting the manufacturer.

FF is an error message that indicates that the electronic expansion valve is out of range. What I would do is turn off the electrical supply briefly to the heater, 30 seconds will do it, then start it up again

Most likely the heat element burned out. Local repair shops would not fix it even tho still on warranty. Returned the unit to Oreck. They sent a new one which works ok.

Just got this set and did not work on my NUWAVE PIC. What am I doing wrong? I just pulled out the small fry pan to try and got the E! error message..

When I originally put mine back together, I assembled it incorrectly - limiting my hot water. I went back and realigned the gears on the temperature selector so that it would give me the entire range of temps.

That's probably ok. I ended up ruining mine be repeatedly heating it without anything in it (I kept getting the burner knobs mixed up). Eventually the enamel coating popped off the iron core. So there is some temperature sensitivity in the enamel coating. Granted, I was stupid. I should have been more careful. :(

I would err on the side of caution and say don't use it anymore. If you've burned the chrome coating off the copper, there's a good chance you have compromised the seams of the kettle or maybe also the soldered connections that hold the "heating element" to the bottom. It was an unfortunate mistake that can happen to anyone. Trying to do too much at once, while making tea! Sorry this happened to you and your VERY EXPENSIVE kettle, but I wouldn't risk using the kettle again. Do you have money? Use it as a pretty flower pot and buy another!

Try boiling the item and just hot water in a pan on your stove for about 20 minutes that should take care of the problem

I have this same unit, and I just did this test. I turned it on with a medium blue flame, tilted it 45 degrees, and ran it for two minutes. No problems at all. It worked fine.

This is a communication error between EIM and the thermostat. Make sure Connected light on EIM or wireless adapter is flashing and you are 2+ feet away from EIM or wireless adapter.

My unit has two channels to heat the water. This is my second unit. After a few minutes the max temp drops and comes back for brief periods. I believe the electronic control is doing a poor job of output temp control and is dropping one of the heaters off.Bosch and other brands using the same unit, is poor quality unit and I would not buy again. I do not know who makes a better unit. The cost to put a unit in and then swap it out is very high. Both of my units did not work well. I once had a gas powered unit from Japan and it was perfect.Cheers, roy

I bought this one thinking it was just like my HS36 that I owned and finally broke after 8 years of constant use. I quickly realized that i made a big mistake. If you have to take temps on higher temp items like ovens it will not work for you. The HS33 tops at 200 degrees. So for me this meter is useless and I am going to have to buy a separate meter for temps. Otherwise everything else appears to be the same and works for all of my day to day appliance repairs.

Mine is only about 6 months old, but I run mine at 91° and it has worked great so far. Maybe check that it is installed according to specifications? Or you may have a defective unit.

Do not count on that... I had to keep turning it off and on just to try to keep the temperature high enough to cook anything. Used to be the best on the market but something has changed - it is not a trustworthy item any more. It's so sad! I loved the first one I had...the last one I just had to throw away.....that hurt. $100+ out the window!

I will add to this that my unit (and I believe they are all supposed to), stops heating when the water temp goes over 120 degrees. This is a safety feature to prevent damage to the unit and scalding to the user. That means you have to be attentive if you are recycling water in your source bucket, as you can quickly get the temperature too hot and the safety shut off kicks in. When that happens, you have to wait a few minutes for the unit to reset, which can be a bit frustrating. This is really just part of learning how to use the AquaCube. It's not fool proof, but hey, it works!
