Operating noises
You may hear the following operational noises:
•
Cracking noises
: You may hear a cracking noise when you are using cookware
made of two or more materials.
•
Whistling
: A whistling noise occurs when both back burners are in use.
This is caused by vibrations. Whistling can vary depending on the weight or
material of the cookware or the type of food you are cooking. (Noise can be
reduced by using thicker cookware.)
•
Humming
: You may hear a low humming when you set an element to a high
power setting. This sound is generated by energy transmission, and it will
disappear when cooktop is turned off.
•
Clicking
: Electric switches are operating.
•
Hissing, Buzzing
: You may hear a fan noise during cooktop/oven operation.
You may continue to hear it even after the cooktop/oven is turned off.
This is normal. The fan runs to cool down the temperature inside. It will
automatically shut off itself after a short period of time.
These noises are normal and do not indicate any defects.
