Induction
Noises
When using an induction cooking zone, the following noises can occur in the pan, depending on what it is made of and how it has been constructed.
–On the higher power settings, it might buzz. This will decrease or cease altogether when the power setting is reduced.
–If the pan base is made of layers of different materials (e.g. in a sandwiched base), it might emit a cracking sound.
–Whistling might occur if linked zones (see "Booster function") are being used on the highest setting at the same time, and the pans also have bases made of layers of different materials.
–You might hear a clicking sound from the electronic switches, especially on lower settings.
The appliance has a cooling fan to help extend the life of the electronics. When the hob is being used intensively, this will come on and you will hear a whirring sound. The fan may continue to run after the appliance has been switched off.
