Answer

¡ Noises may be generated while using the cooktop depending on the properties of the

base of the cookware. These noises are normal for induction technology. They do not

indicate that there is a fault.

¡ A deep humming noise similar to a transformer: Occurs when cooking at a high

power level. This noise disappears or becomes quieter when you reduce the power

level.

¡ A quiet whistling noise: This can be heard when the cookware is empty. This noise

disappears when you add water or food to the cookware.

¡ Crackling: This noise occurs when the cookware is made from different multilayer

materials, or if you use cookware of different sizes and different materials. The volume

of the noise can vary depending on the quantity of food being cooked or the cooking

method.

¡ Loud whistling noises: These may arise if you are operating two cooking zones at

the same time and at the maximum power level. These whistling noises disappear or

become quieter when you reduce the power level.

¡ Fan noises: The cooktop is equipped with a fan that switches on automatically at high

temperatures. The fan may also continue to run after you have switched the cooktop

off if the temperature measured is still too high.

is transferred in order to achieve a good cooking result.
