Good to know
How induction hobs work
An induction coil is located under each
induction cooking zone. The coil cre-
ates a magnetic field that reacts directly
with the base of the pan and heats it
up. The cooking zone itself is heated up
indirectly by the heat given off by the
pan.
An induction cooking zone only works
when a piece of cookware with a mag-
netic base is placed on it (see "Good to
know – Cookware"). The hob automat-
ically recognises the size of the cook-
ware.

Noises
When using induction cooking zones,
the following noises can occur in the
cookware, depending on what it is
made of and how it has been construc-
ted:
Buzzing on the higher power levels.
This will decrease or cease altogether
when the power level is reduced.
If the cookware base is made of layers
of different materials (e.g. in a sand-
wiched base), it might emit a crackling
sound.
Whistling might occur if linked cooking
zones (see "Operation – Booster") are
being used at the same time, and the
cookware items also have bases made
of layers of different materials (e.g.
sandwiched base).
You might hear a clicking sound from
the electronic switches, especially at
lower power levels.
A whirring sound, when the cooling fan
comes on. This switches on to protect
the electronic module when the hob is
being used intensively. The cooling fan
may continue to run after the hob has
been switched off.
