transmitted from the appliance to the cookware. This sound
will quiet or go away when the power is turned down.
Is there a crackling? This sound occurs when cookware is

POSSIBLE CAUSES
The cookware is not well positioned
on the cooking zone, or it is not
compatible with one or more
cooking zones.
The internal temperature of
electronic parts is too high.
The power regulator limits the
power levels in accordance with the
maximum value set for the cooktop.
The power regulator limits the
power levels in accordance with the
maximum value set for the cooktop.
Is there a fan noise? The electronics require a controlled
■
temperature in order to function reliably. The cooktop is
fitted with a fan that runs at various speeds according to the
temperature detected. The fan may also continue to run even
after the cooktop has been switched off, if the temperature it
detects is too high.
SOLUTION
Press On/Off button twice to remove
the F0E1 code and restore the
functionality of the cooking zone.
Then, try to use the cookware with
a different cooking zone, or use
different cookware.
Wait for the cooktop to cool down
before using it again.
