Operational cooktop sounds
■Is there a low humming? This occurs when cooking at high power. The cause of this is the amount of energy which 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 which consists of different materials. The noise is caused by vibrations in the joint faces between the different layers. It 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 which runs at various speeds according to the temperature detected. The fan may also continue to run even after the cooktop has been switched off, if the temperature it detects is too high.
