GE won’t let me use convection roast on my new oven without connecting to WiFi

Staying in an AirBnB, desperate for a cup of tea, no kettle and only an induction hob. Somehow manage to bork the hob trying to switch it on such that it is just showing an error code (E06 or some such). Much futile googling for said error code, and still no tea at the end of it. Utter madness.

Sure it wasn't detecting that the pot on top wasn't magnetic and wouldn't heat up? My little portable induction burner is smart enough to detect if the pot won't work and warns you/fails to start.

I had to google what a "hob" is, never heard that word. Very funny sounding!

Did you not have an electric kettle? I don't know anyone younger than 80 who uses a stovetop kettle.

>still no tea at the end of it

Oh, that's easy. Just drop the "no tea" and you will have tea.

If you prefer to have tea and no tea at the same time, just remove your common sense.
