Noise emission with hob use
An induction hob can make noises when in
use. All these noises are neither the result
of technical errors nor are they the result of
poor quality. They are related to the induction
technology and do not negatively affect the
cookware or hob.
Possible noises:
– Low humming noise like a transformer
This noise can occur when a high power
level is used, because a large amount of
energy is transferred from the hob to the
cooking appliance. The noise disappears
or dissipates as soon as the power setting
is reduced.
– Loud whistling
Loud whistling can occur when empty
cookware is placed on a cooking zone.
It disappears as soon as water or food is
added to the cookware.
– Crackling
This noise can occur when cooking ap-
pliances have layers made of differ-
ent materials. It is caused by vibrations
occurring at the points where differ-
ent material layers are joined together.
This noise is produced inside the cooking
device itself. It may change depending on
the type and amount of food to be cooked.
– High-pitched whistling sounds
These noises mainly occur when cook-
ware made of different layers of material
are used on two adjacent cooking zones
at maximum power. The noise disappears
or dissipates as soon as the power setting
is reduced.
– Whirring
Depending on the pot, volume or temper-
ature, a slight whirring noise may occur
when cooking on the induction hob.
This noise may occur with some pots when
they are warming up and for others when
they are first warm; it can also occur with
some pots when they are almost empty
or completely filled. The noise can occur
continuously or in intervals. It can occur to
one pot on a cooking zone and then not to
the other. The noise may not occur every
time, even with the same pot on the same
cooking zone. It can occur when a certain
pot is positioned in a specific spot on the
cooking zone – and then not the next time.
– Fan noise
A certain ambient temperature must not
be exceeded in order for the electronics
inside the hob to work properly. The hob is
therefore equipped with a fan, which – in
the case of this hob – automatically switch-
es on when one of the cooking zones is
activated, and also continues to run for a
while after the hob has been switched off.
This noise is also completely normal and
is no sign of a technical defect or inferior
product quality.
