Noises
The following noises may occur in the cookware when using
induction cooking zones, depending on the material and the
finish of the base:
XO
Humming may occur when using a high power level. This
decreases or disappears when the power level is decreased.
XO
Crackling or whistling may occur due to cookware bases being
made of different materials (e.g. sandwich base).
XO
Clicking sounds may occur during electronic switching
procedures, especially at low power levels.
XO
Whirring may occur when the cooling fan is switched on. In
order to increase the service life of the electronic system,
the cooktop is equipped with a cooling fan. The cooling fan
switches on automatically if the cooktop is used intensively.
You will hear a whirring sound. The cooling fan may continue
running after the appliance has been switched off.

base, as well as the cooking results, are significantly
influenced by the structure and material of the cookware.
Cookware with this symbol is suitable for induction
cooktops. The cookware used for the induction cooktop
must be made of metal, feature magnetic properties and
possess an ample base.

Perform a magnet test if necessary. If a magnet sticks to the
base of the utensils, they are normally induction compatible.
XX
Pay attention to the cookware base. The bottom of the
cookware should not show any sign of curvature. Due to
incorrect hob temperature monitoring, this curvature may
cause the cookware to overheat. To avoid scratching the
cooktop, the base of the cookware must not have any sharp
grooves or sharp edges.
XX
Place the cookware (without a mat or similar) directly onto the
glass ceramic.
