Pan Preh eat Recommendations
Induction cooking may decrease the amount of time
req uired to preheat cookware compared to cooking
on a radiant element cooktop or gas surface burner.
Pay close attention to all food items while cooking
on the cooktop or in the oven, and until all cooking
processes are complete.
CA U T I O N
Remember that induction surface cooking initially
heats the cookware V ERY Q U I CK LY if the
cookware does not contain food.
N oises during Cooktop O peration
The electronic processes involved with induction
cooking may create some background noises. Y ou
may hear a slight buzzing sound when cooking on
the cooktop. These noises are part of the induction
cooking process and are considered normal.
Some cookware will buzz, depending on the
construction or base material. The buzz may be more
noticeable if the contents of the pan are cold. As the
pan heats up, the noise will decrease. The noise will
also decrease if the power level setting is reduced.
N O T E
• When using the induction cooktop, operational
noises are more noticeable while cooking in
Boost mode. But very loud noises are not
normal when induction cooking.
• The cooktop fan may turn on to reduce the
temperature of the product, even when the
surface elements are not being used.
