A cooktop is a special appliance that is used for cooking. It usually has at least one heating element and one control knob.
You can use your cooktop to cook different types of food such as food like pancakes, hamburgers, eggs, and even bacon. You can also use it to boil water for making tea or to warm up food in the microwave oven.
If you have a modern cooktop, you will most likely be able to get a series of buttons alongside the cooktop for different types of use. In addition, there are some modern models that have indicator lights telling you all you need to know with what the cooktop is doing.
An Ariston cooktop is one of the best brands of cooktops available in the market today. You should definitely give it a try because it will most likely be the best cooktop that you have ever used. However, cooktops may sometimes get locked, in which all the touchpad buttons become unusable. If this happens to you, then you will need to unlock your Ariston cooktop.

Here’s how to unlock a cooktop:
Turn off the cooktop
Before anything else, you should first turn off your Ariston cooktop by turning it off. This will prevent the electronic components of the cooktop from being damaged if you are not careful while unlocking them.
Make sure there are no food or utensils on the cooktop
When you turn off your cooktop, make sure that there is no food or utensils on the cooktop because this may damage the electronics inside.
If you’ve previously been cooking on the cooktop, make sure that you have removed all of the food and utensils before you begin unlocking your cooktop. This is because these items may impede your process in unlocking the key.
Make sure the cooktop is dry
You should also make sure that the cooktop is dry before you begin unlocking it. If the cooktop is wet, then this may damage the electronics inside and prevent you from being able to unlock it. Use a towel or a kitchen tissue to dry the cooktop before you begin unlocking it.
Hold the key button to unlock
After you have dried the cooktop, you should now turn it on by pushing the key button located on the front of your cooktop. If your key button doesn’t seem to be responding, then this is most likely because your cooktop is not working properly. This means that you will need to contact a professional for help in fixing it.
Alternative: turn off the circuit breaker
If the key button is not responsive, you can try turning off the circuit breaker for your Ariston cooktop by turning it off. This will prevent you from damaging the electronics inside.
Once you have completed these steps, you should be able to unlock a cooktop that is locked by pushing the key button located on the front of your cooktop. You should now be able to start using your Ariston cooktop and enjoy its many features as soon as possible.
