Noises are heard
during cooking. The
following noises are
normal.
Cracking sound
• May occur when using composite cookware as the different materials resonate and heat at
different rates. This will not damage or impair the performance of the cookware.
Clicking sound
• Caused by the electrical switches.
• It is normal to hear a clicking noise when operating cooking zones below power level 6.
Ticking sound
• Caused by the cookware detection.
The Boost function
has been deactivated
or cannot be
activated.
To prevent damage to the product, the cooking zones are separated into two groups,
and you can only use the Boost function on one cooking zone in each group at once. As
shown in the Operation section under "Using the Cook Modes," you can use Boost on a
cooking zone in group 1 and a cooking zone in group 2 at the same time. If you try to
use Boost on two cooking zones in the same group, the selected cooking zone displays
a flashing
b and G and the power level is automatically set to 9 rather than Boost.
• For safety, after 6 minutes the Boost setting will automatically revert to either power level
9 or the previously set power level.
The cookware
