■Is the batter evenly distributed in the pan? Check that batter is level in the pan.

■Has the oven door been opened while cooking?

Use aluminum foil to cover the edge of the crust and/or reduce baking temperature.

Operational cooktop sounds

■Is there a low humming?

This sound occurs when cooking at high power. The cause of this sound is the amount of energy that is transmitted from the appliance to the cookware. This sound will quiet or go away when the power is turned down.

■Is there a crackling?

This sound occurs when cookware is used that consists of different materials. The noise is caused by vibrations in the joint faces between the different layers. The sound may change depending on the amount and type of food being cooked.

■Is there a fan noise?

The electronics require a controlled temperature in order to function reliably. The cooktop is fitted with a fan that runs at various speeds according to the temperature detected during cooktop and oven operation. The fan may also continue to run even after the cooktop and/or oven has been switched off, if the temperature it detects is too high. In some cases the fan may run for an extended period of time. This is considered normal.
