Noises
Why I can hear noises while I'm cooking?
Noises may be generated while using the hob depending on the characteristics of the base of the cookware. These noises are a normal
part of induction technology. They do not indicate a defect.
Possible noises:
A low humming noise like the one a transformer makes:
Occurs when cooking at a high heat setting. The noise disappears or becomes quieter when the heat setting is reduced.
Low whistling noise:
Occurs when the cookware is empty. The noise disappears when water or food is added to the cookware.
Crackling:
Occurs when using cookware made from layers of different material or when using cookware of different sizes and different materials at
the same time.The volume of the noise may vary depending on the quantity of food being cooked and the cooking method.
High-pitched whistling noises:
May occur if two hotplates are used at the highest heat setting at the same time. The whistling noises disappear or become quieter when
the heat setting is reduced.
Fan noise:
The hob is equipped with a fan that automatically switches on at high temperatures. The fan may continue to run even after you have
switched off the hob if the temperature detected is still too high.
Rhythmical tones like the ticking of a clock:
This noise only occurs when three or more hotplates are on. The noise disappears or becomes quieter when one of the hotplates is
switched off.
