The cooking zone efficiency is related to the
diameter of the cookware. The cookware
with a smaller diameter than the minimum
receives only a part of the power generated
by the cooking zone.
Refer to “Technical information”
chapter.
The noises during operation
If you can hear:
• crack noise: cookware is made of
different materials (sandwich
construction).
• whistle sound: you use the cooking zone
with high power level and the cookware
is made of different materials (sandwich
construction).
• humming: you use high power level.
• clicking: electric switching occurs.
• hissing, buzzing: the fan operates.
The noises are normal and do not refer
to hob malfunction.
Examples of cooking
applications
The relation between the heat setting and
the cooking zone consumption of power is
not linear. When you increase the heat
setting, it is not proportional to the increase
of the cooking zone consumption of power.
It means that the cooking zone with the
medium heat setting uses less than a half of
its power.
The data in the table is for
