NORMAL INDUCTION OPERATING NOISES
You may hear the following operational noises:
Ƀ
CRACKING NOISES:
You may hear a cracking
noise when you are using cookware made of two or
more materials.
Ƀ
WHISTLING:
A whirling 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.)
Ƀ
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, or at lower
power settings.
Ƀ
CLICKING:
Electric switches are operating on
induction control board.
Ƀ
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 after
a short period of time.
These
noises are normal and do not
indicate
any defects.

is too small or too large to
