Induction noises

A ticking sound
• This is caused by the capacity limiter on the left and right zones. Ticking can also occur at lower
cooking levels.
Pans are making noise
• Pans can make some noise during cooking. This is caused by the energy flowing from the
induction hob to the saucepan. At high levels, this is perfectly normal for some pans. It will not
damage either the pans or the induction hob.
The fan is making noise
• To enlarge the lifespan of the electronics, the appliance is equipped with a fan. If you use the
appliance intense, the fan is activated to cool down the appliance and you will hear a buzzing
sound. The fan runs on for several minutes after the induction hob has been switched off.

Pans

Always place a pan in the middle of a cooking zone. In linked mode always use a (fish) pan where
at least one of the centre/middle positions of the linked Bridge zones is covered.
Pans for induction cooking
Induction cooking requires a particular quality of pan.
Pans that have already been used for cooking on a gas hob are no longer suitable
for use on an induction hob.
• Only use pans that are suitable for electric and induction cooking with:
▷ A thick base (minimum 2.25 mm);
A flat base.
▷
• The best are pans with the 'Class Induction' quality mark.
You can check for yourself whether your pans are suitable using a magnet. A pan is suitable
if the base of the pan is attracted by the magnet.
