Noises
Why can I hear noises while I'm cooking?
Noises may be generated while using the hob depending on the characteristics of the base of the cookware. These
noises are normal for induction technology. They do not indicate a defect.
Possible noises:
A low humming noise of the kind a transformer makes:
Occurs when cooking at a high heat setting. The noise disappears or becomes quieter when the heat setting is
reduced.
Low whistling noise:
Occurs when the cookware is empty. The noise disappears when water or food is added to the cookware.
Crackling:
Occurs when using cookware made from layers of different material or when using cookware of different sizes and dif-
ferent materials at the same time.The volume of the noise may vary depending on the quantity of food being cooked
and the cooking method.
High-pitched whistling noises:
May occur if two hotplates are used at the highest heat setting at the same time. The whistling noises disappear or
become quieter when the heat setting is reduced.
Fan noise:
The hob is equipped with a fan that automatically switches on at high temperatures. The fan may continue to run even
after you have switched off the hob if the temperature detected is still too high.
