Sounds and Noises
Heat Power
Symptom
Possible cause
Noise is heard during
heating.
Various sounds may be heard depending on the type of
cookware. You may feel a small vibration when you hold
the handle and the cookware may move slightly.
This is not a malfunction. Moving the cookware slightly
or replacing it may eliminate the sound.
If the cookware is removed during heating, a short
metallic sound may be heard.
The level of the noise
from the appliance
increases and
decreases.
It is the noise from the cooling fan inside the appliance.
The level of the noise changes according to the power
level and the material of the cookware. When the power
level is increased, the fan will operate at high speed and
generate more noise.
After the main power
switch is turned off,
noise from the fan is
heard.
While the inside of the appliance is still hot, the cooling
fan operates. When the appliance cools down, it will
automatically stop.
Symptom
Possible cause
The heating power
of the IH heater is
weaker.
Overheating Prevention Function
If the base of the cookware overheats, the heating power
will automatically reduce. The power indication will remain
the same. The power returns to normal after the cookware
cools down.
Unsuitable cookware, e.g. ceramic and earthenware pans,
are used.
Do not use ceramic and earthenware pans even if they
are for induction heating as they are not efficient.
(See
pages 17-18)
When multiple
cooking zones are
used together,
■
The heating power
decreases.
■
The power indicator
automatically
decreases.
■
Can not increase
the power level.
The power level is automatically regulated so that overall
power consumption does not exceed the limit.
The power indicator for a cooking zone may decrease on
its own. Even after touching the
slider
(KY-B64CG) or
‘+’
(KY-B64CA)
to adjust power level
, it may
not increase the power level and the appliance will beep.
