cookware.
The bottom of the cookware must
be as thick and flat as possible.

zones with high power levels and the
cookware is made of different materials

• humming: you use high power levels.
• clicking: electric switching occurs.
• hissing, buzzing: the fan operates.
The noises are normal and do not refer
