cooking zone consumption of power is not linear. When you increase the heat setting it is not

proportional to the increase of the cooking zone consumption of power. The power of the

cooking zones can be different in some small range. It changes with the material and

dimensions of the cookware.

Induction hobs can make whistling or crackling sounds during normal operation, these actually come from the pots and

pans as a result of the characteristics of the bottoms (for example, bottoms made of several layers of material, or uneven

bottoms). These noises vary depending on the pots and pans used and the amount of food they contain, and are not

indicative of a defect of any kind.

In addition, the induction hob is equipped with an internal cooling system to control the temperature of electronic parts;

as a result, during operation and for several minutes after the hob has been switched o, the noise of the cooling fan will

be audible. This is perfectly normal and indeed essential for proper functioning of the appliance.

with liquid.
