PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSES AND/OR SOLUTIONS
Operational cooktop sounds
The following are some normal sounds with the explanations. These sounds are normal operational noises.
Low humming This occurs when cooking at high power. The cause of this is the amount of energy that is
transmitted from the appliance to the cookware - This sound will quiet or go away when the power is
turned down.
Crackling Cookware is used that consists of different materials. The noise is caused by vibrations in the
joint faces between the different layers - The sound may change depending on the amount and type
of food being cooked.
Fan noise The electronics require a controlled temperature in order to function reliably - The cooktop is fitted
with a fan that runs at various speeds according to the temperature detected. The fan may also continue
to run even after the cooktop has been switched off, if the temperature it detects is too high.
