Some pans make crackling
or clicking noises.

(layers of different metals
vibrating differently).

does not indicate a fault.
The induction hob makes a
low humming noise when
used on a high heat setting.
This is caused by the technology
of induction cooking.
This is normal, but the noise should
quieten down or disappear completely
when you decrease the heat setting.

A cooling fan built into your
induction hob has come on to
prevent the electronics from

Do not switch the power to the
induction hob off at the wall while the
fan is running.

cooking. See section ‘Choosing the
right cookware’.
Centre the pan and make sure that its
base matches the size of the cooking
zone.
