Induction noises
A ticking sound
• This is caused by the capacity limiter on the left and right zones. Ticking can also occur at
lower settings.
Pans are making noise
• Pans can make some noise during cooking. This is caused by the energy flowing from the
hob to the pan. At high settings this is perfectly normal for some pans. It will not damage
either the pans or the hob.
The fan is making noise
• To enlarge the lifespan of the electronics, the appliance is equipped with fans. If you use
the appliance intense, the fan is activated to cool down the appliance and you will hear
a buzzing sound. The fan runs on for several minutes after the hob has been switched off.
Pans
• Always place a pan in the middle of a cooking zone.
• Induction cooking requires a particular quality of pan.
• Only use pans that are suitable for electric and induction cooking with:
▷
a thick base (minimum 2.25 mm);
▷
a clean and flat base.
Pans that have already been used for cooking on a gas hob are no longer suitable
for use on an induction hob.
You can check for yourself whether your pans are suitable using a magnet. A pan is suitable
if the base of the pan is attracted by the magnet.
Suitable Unsuitable
Special stainless-steel pans Earthenware
Class Induction Stainless-steel
Hard-wearing enamelled pans Porcelain
Enamelled cast-iron pans Copper / Aluminium / Plastic
Be careful with enamelled sheet-steel pans! The enamel may chip (the enamel comes
loose from the steel), if you switch the hob on at a high setting when the pan is (too) dry.
The base of the pan may warp - due, for example, to overheating or to the use of too
high a power level.
