Noises
The following noises may occur in the cookware when
using induction cooking zones, depending on the material
and the finish of the base:
Q Q
Humming may occur when using a high power
level. It decreases or disappears if the power level is
decreased.

cookware made of different materials (e.g. sandwich
base).

Clicking sounds may occur during electronic switching
procedures especially at low power levels.

Whirring may occur when the cooling fan is switched
on. In order to increase the service life of the

X X
Perform a magnet test, if necessary. If a magnet sticks
to the base of the utensils, they are normally induction
compatible.
X X
Pay attention to the cookware bottom. The base of
the cookware should not show any sign of curvature.
Due to incorrect temperature monitoring of the hob
caused by the air gap between the cookware and the
temperature sensor underneath the hob, overheating
may occur. The bottom of the cookware must not have
any sharp grooves or sharp edges to avoid scratching
the cooktop.
X X
Place the cookware (without a mat or similar) directly
onto the glass ceramic.
