1. Troubleshooting

Normal noise while the appliance is

working

Induction heating technology is based on the creation

of electromagnetic fields that generate heat directly at

the base of the pan. Depending on how the pan has

been manufactured, these may produce certain noises

or vibrations such as those described below:

A deep humming sound as in a transformer

This noise is produced when cooking on a high power

level. It is caused by the amount of energy transferred

from the hob to the pan. The noise disappears or

becomes faint when the power level is lowered.

A low whistling sound

This noise is produced when the pan is empty. It

disappears when water or food is added to the pan.

A crackling sound

This noise occurs in pans which are made from

different materials superimposed on one another. It is

caused by the vibrations that occur ajoining surfaces

of the different superimposed materials. The noise

comes from the pan. The amount of food and cooking

method can vary.

A high-pitched whistling sound

This noise is produced mainly in pans made from

different materials superimposed on one another, and

it occurs when such pans are heated at maximum

power on two hotplates at the same time. The

whistling disappears or becomes fainter as soon as

the power level is lowered.

Noise from the fan

For proper use of the electronic system, the

temperature of the hob must be controlled. For this

purpose, the hob has a fan that starts working after

detecting excess temperatures at different power

levels. The fan may also work due to inertia after the

hob has been switched off, if the temperature

detected is still too high.

The noises described are normal, they are part of

induction heating technology and not a sign of

malfunction.
