cookware with a diameter smaller
than the minimum receives only a part
of the power generated by the
cooking zone.
• For both safety reasons and optimal
cooking results, do not use cookware
larger than indicated in "Cooking
zones specification". Avoid keeping
cookware close to the control panel
during the cooking session. This
might impact the functioning of the
control panel or accidentally activate
hob functions.
Refer to "Technical data".
6.2 The noises during
operation

• crack noise: cookware is made of
different materials (a sandwich
construction).

Hollandaise sauce, melt: but‐
ter, chocolate, gelatine.
Solidify: fluffy omelettes, baked
eggs.
Simmer rice and milkbased
dishes, heat up ready-cooked
meals.
Stew vegetables, fish, meat.
Steam potatoes and other veg‐
etables.
Cook larger quantities of food,
stews and soups.
• whistle 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.
• clicking: electric switching occurs.
• hissing, buzzing: the fan operates.
The noises are normal and do not
indicate any malfunction.
6.3 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.
