panel or accidentally activate hob
functions.
Refer to "Technical data".
8.2 Noises during operation
The noises are normal and do not
indicate any malfunction. Cookware
noises may vary depending on the
cookware material and the power level.
Cookware-related noises:
• cracking noise: cookware is made of
different materials (a sandwich
construction).
• whistling sound: you use a cooking zone
with a high power level and the cookware
is made of different materials (a sandwich
construction).
• humming: you use a high power level.
Hob-related noises:
• clicking: electric switching occurs.
• hissing, buzzing: the fan operates.
• rhythmic sound: cookware is detected.
8.3 Öko Timer (Eco Timer)
To save energy, the heater of the cooking
zone deactivates before the count down timer
sounds. The difference in the operation time
depends on the heat setting level and the
length of the cooking operation.
8.4 Examples of cooking
applications
The correlation between the heat setting of a
zone and its consumption of power is not
linear. When you increase the heat setting, it
is not proportional to the increase of the
consumption of power. It means that a
cooking zone with the medium heat setting
uses less than a half of its power.
The data in the table is for guidance only.
