EN 12
NOISES MADE BY THE HOB
The induction cooktops can generate a set of noise and vibration during normal operation, depending on the type of material and the processing of the food,
such as those described below:
• Noise contact: this type of vibration is due to the use of pots made of different materials superimposed.
• Sounds click at mid-lower power: this noise is produced in order to achieve the low-mid power required.
• Sounds like rhythmic click: this noise is produced when operating several areas of cooking and / or high performance.
• Hissing weak: this noise is due to the type of container used and the quantity of food contained.
• Background noise: the induction cooker is equipped with a fan aimed at cooling the electronic components and for this reason during operation and also
for a few minutes after switching off the hob you hear the noise of the fan. Increase / decrease the cooking zones activated, the background noise of the
fan may increase or decrease.
These conditions are normal and essential for the proper functioning of the induction system, they are not indication of failure or damage.
