Advice On Energy-Saving - Smeg HOBD682D Manual

Note: Use only cookware with a
perfectly flat bottom and suitable
for induction cooking zones. Using
cookware with an irregular bottom could
jeopardise the efficiency of the heating
system and prevent cookware from
being detected on the cooking zone.
Noise during cooking
Cookware can make noise during
cooking. This does not indicate any
malfunction, nor does it affect the
functioning of the appliance in any way.
Noise depends on the cookware
used. If the noise causes considerable
disturbance, it can help to change the
cookware.
