Pan Preheat Recommendations

Induction cooking may decrease the amount of time
required 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.

Noises during Cooktop Operation

The electronic processes involved with induction
cooking may create some background noises. You
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.
CAUTION
Remember that induction surface cooking initially
heats the cookware VERY QUICKLY if the
cookware does not contain food.
NOTE
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.
