Thermador CIT304E manual Normal operating sounds for the appliance

Notes

Normal operating sounds for the appliance

Low humming like a transformer

Quiet whistling

Crackling

High`pitched whistle

Fan noise

The heat is switched on and off to regulate		the temperature	of	the elemen
means that the	red glow below the element	is not always visible. When yo
low heat setting,	the element turns off more	frequently, while	at	a higher s

only turns off occasionally. Even					at	the	highest	level,	the element turns		off
As	the element	is	heating	up, there		may be a		light	buzzing.
The	brightness	of	the glow	may	vary from element to element. Depending
line of vision, the red glow may					appear		to extend beyond			the marked	edg
element.
These are technical characteristics					and		have no impact on			quality or	funct

Depending on the type of countertop, a small, uneven gap may form betw countertop and the cooktop. For this reason, there is a flexible seal all the around the cooktop.

Due

to

the characteristics

of

the

material, there

can

be

irregularities in

the

ceramic

surface.

Because

of the mirrorhsmooth surface of the cooktop,

it is

for even the smallest of

bubbles,

less than

1 mm in

diameter,

to be

visible

not

Induction heating technology is based on	the vibration resistance of certain
when subjected to highhfrequency waves.	In some circumstances, these vibra
can create certain sounds, such as the	following:

This occurs when cooking at a high power. The cause of this is the amo energy which is transmitted from the appliance to the cookware. This sound disappears or becomes quieter when the power is turned down.

This occurs when the cookware is empty. This sound disappears when wat food is added to the cookware.

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

This noise occurs principally in cookware which consists of layers of differen materials when it is used at the highest heat setting and on two elements each other. This whistling disappears or becomes quieter when the power i down.

The electronics require a controlled temperature in order to function reliably. cooktop is therefore fitted with a fan which runs at various speeds accordin

temperature	detected.	The	fan	may also countinue to run even after the co
has been switched off if the				temperature it detects is still too high.
The sounds	described	are	a	normal part of induction technology and do no
a defect.
