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
