Normal Operating Sounds

Cooking Noise
Cookware "Noise"
of cookware. Heavier pans such as enameled cast
iron produce less noise than a lighter weight multi-
ply stainless steel pan. The size of the pan, and
the amount of contents can also contribute to the
sound level.
When using adjacent elements that are set at
interact and produce a low whistle or intermittent
"hum". These noises can be reduced or eliminated
by lowering or raising the power level settings of
one or both of the elements. Pans that completely
cover the element ring will produce less noise.
A low "humming" noise is normal, particularly on
high settings.
Sounds That May Be Heard
A slight "buzz" may be heard when cooking with Hi
mode. This is normal. The sound depends on the
type of pot being used. Some pots will "buzz" louder
depending on the material. A "buzz" sound may
be heard if the pan contents are cold. As the pan
heats, the sound will decrease. If the power level is
reduced, the sound level will go down.
