Hi Kevin,
I disconnected the hob for a couple of hours and then tried again but it hasn't helped.
Any other ideas?
Expert:  KevinWhiteJA replied 2 years ago.

OK try this:

Press and hold the ON/OFF button first for 10 seconds, if the LOCK still appears then press the LOCK button for 10 seconds

no unfortunately that doesn't work. I've tried all sorts of different combinations with the buttons and different amounts of time holding the buttons but still nothing.
Expert:  KevinWhiteJA replied 2 years ago.

OK, unplug it and let it remain unplugged for 10 minutes

Then press and hold the start button and lock button together and simultaneously plug it back while holding these buttons.

Let go after few seconds and see if it works
