Recommended Use

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.
CAUTION
Remember that induction surface cooking initially
heats the cookware VERY QUICKLY if the
cookware does not contain food.

Noises during Cooktop Operation

• Induction Sound: The electronic processes involved
with induction cooking create some unfamiliar
background noises such as a slight buzzing sound.
These noises are a normal part of the induction
cooking process.
• Cookware Vibration Sound: Some cookware
will buzz, depending on its construction or base
material. The buzz may be more noticeable if the
pan or its contents are cold or if the bottom of the
pan is not flat. As the pan heats up, the noise will
decrease. The noise will also decrease if the power
level setting is reduced.
• Cooling Fan Sound: The fan may operate while
the induction cooktop is in use to reduce the
temperature of the product. The cooling fan may
also operate after the cooktop is turned off.
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.
