TROUBLESHOOTING TABLE
NOISE AND ITS CAUSES DURING INDUCTION COOKING
Noises and sounds Cause Solution
Inductiongenerat-
ed operating noise "Induction technology is based on
the properties of some metals under
electromagnetic effect. It results in
so-called eddy currents that force
the molecules to oscillate.
These oscillations (vibrations) are
transformed into heat. Depending
on the type of metal, this could
result in quiet noises." This is normal and it is not a
result of any malfunction.
Transformer-like
buzz "Occurs when cooking at a high
power level. The reason for this is
the amount of energy transferred
from the cooking hob to the pot or
pan." This noise will disappear or
weaken when you reduce
the power level.
Vibration and
crackling of the
cookware
"This noise appears in cookware
(pots or pans) made of different
materials." It results from vibrations
along the adjacent surfaces
of different material layers.
This noise depends on
the cookware. It can vary
depending on the amount
and type of food being
cooked.
Fan noise "Correct operation of induction
electronic components requires
temperature control. Therefore,
the cooking hob is fitted with a
fan which operates at varying
speed, depending on the perceived
temperature." The fan may operate even
after the cooking hob has
been switched off, if the
temperature remains too
high.
