27.2 Noises

Question

Answer

Why can I hear noises
while I'm cooking?

¡

Noises may be generated while using the hob depending on the base material of
the cookware. These noises are normal for induction technology. They do not in-
dicate that there is a fault.

Possible noises

¡

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 deep hum:

The cookware may be too small or not suitable for induction cook-

ing. Move the cookware to a different position on the cooking surface or use a lar-
ger item of cookware.

¡

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
loudness 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 disap-
pear or become quieter when you reduce the power level.

¡

Fan noises:

 The hob is equipped with a fan that switches on automatically at high

temperatures. The fan may also continue to run after you have switched the hob
off if the temperature measured is still too high.

¡

Clicking:

 Occasional clicking when activating or moving an item of cookware is

completely normal. Now and again, other completely random noises that have
nothing to do with the cookware may occur.
