29.2 Noise
Question
Answer
Why can I hear noises while I'm
cooking?
¡
Noises may be generated while using the hob depending on the base mater-
ial of the cookware. These noises are normal for induction technology. They
do not indicate that there is a fault.
What noises can occur and
what is the significance of the
noises?
¡
A deep humming noise similar to a transformer:
Occurs when cooking at a
high power level. This noise disappears or becomes quieter when you re-
duce the power level.
¡
A quiet whistling noise:
This can be heard when the cookware is empty.
This noise disappears when you add water or food to the cookware.
¡
Crackling:
This noise occurs when the cookware is made from different mul-
tilayer materials, or if you use cookware of different sizes and different materi-
als. The loudness of the noise can vary depending on the quantity of food be-
ing cooked or the cooking method.
¡
Loud whistling noises:
These may arise if you are operating two cooking
zones at the same time and at the maximum power level. These whistling
noises disappear or become quieter when you reduce the power level.
¡
Fan noises:
The hob is equipped with a fan that switches on automatically at
high temperatures. The fan may also continue to run after you have switched
the hob off if the temperature measured is still too high.
