8.3 The noises during operation
If you can hear:
• crack noise: cookware is made of
different materials (a sandwich
construction).
• whistle sound: you use a cooking
zone with a high power level and the
cookware is made of different
materials (a sandwich construction).
• humming: you use a high power level.
• clicking: electric switching occurs, the
pot is detected after you place it on
the hob.
• hissing, buzzing: the fan operates.
The noises are normal and do not
indicate any malfunction.

• If it is possible, always put the lids on
the cookware.
• Put cookware on a cooking zone
before you start it.

warm or to melt it.
8.5 Öko Timer (Eco Timer)
To save energy, the heater of the
cooking zone deactivates before the
count down timer sounds. The difference
in the operation time depends on the

cooking operation.
8.6 Examples of cooking
applications
The correlation between the heat setting
of a zone and its consumption of power
is not linear. When you increase the heat
setting, it is not proportional to the
increase of the consumption of power. It
means that a cooking zone with the
medium heat setting uses less than a
half of its power.
