The noises during operation
If you can hear
• crack noise: cookware is made of different
materials (Sandwich construction).
• whistle sound: you use one or more cooking
zones with high power levels and the cook-
ware is made of different materials (Sand-
wich construction).
• humming: you use high power levels.
• clicking: electric switching occurs.
• hissing, buzzing: the fan operates.
The noises are normal and do not refer
to appliance malfunction.
Energy saving
How to save energy
• If it is possible, always put the lids on the
cookware.
• Put cookware on a cooking zone before you
start it.
• Use the residual heat to keep the food warm
or to melt it.
The cooking zone efficiency
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. For the minimum diameters see
the Technical Information chapter.
The Examples of cooking applications
The relation between the heat setting and the
cooking zone consumption of power is not lin-
ear.
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 medi-
um heat setting uses less than a half of its
power.
