Operating noises
You may hear the following operational noises:
• Cracking noises
: You may hear a cracking noise when you are using cookware
made of two or more materials.
• Whistling
: A whistling noise occurs when both back burners are in use.
This is caused by vibrations. Whistling can vary depending on the weight or
material of the cookware or the type of food you are cooking. (Noise can be
reduced by using thicker cookware.)
• Humming
: You may hear a low humming when you set an element to a high
power setting. This sound is generated by energy transmission, and it will
disappear when cooktop is turned off.
• Clicking
: Electric switches are operating.
• Hissing, Buzzing
: You may hear a fan noise during cooktop/oven operation. You
may continue to hear it even after the cooktop/oven is turned off.
This is normal. The fan runs to cool down the temperature inside. It will
automatically shut off itself after a short period of time.
These noises are normal and do not indicate any defects.
Using suitable induction cookware
Suitability test
Cookware is suitable for induction cooking
if a magnet sticks to the bottom of the
cookware and the cookware is labelled as
suitable by the cookware manufacturer.
Using the correct size cookware
•
The Induction Cooking Zones require that you use pots and pans of a
minimum
size or larger at each location. The inner ring of each Cooking Zone is your
guide to the correct
minimum
pan size. The pan bottom must fully cover the
inner ring for proper cooking to occur.
•
The thicker outer ring at each Cooking Zone is helpful to determine the
maximum
pan size. After centering the cookware on the cooktop, make sure
the cookware does not extend more than 1/2" beyond the thicker line on the
Cooking Zone. The pan must fully contact the glass surface without the bottom
of the pan touching the metal cooktop trim.
NOTE
If cookware is unsuitable, too small, or no cookware has been placed on the
cooking zone, '
Cookware incompatible or not placed
' message will be showed.
After 30 seconds, the corresponding cooking zone will turn off.
Pot and pan sizes
Induction cooking zones adapt automatically to the size of the bottom of the
cookware up to a certain limit. However the magnetic part of the bottom of the
cookware must have a minimum diameter depending upon the size of the cooking
zone.
