Sounds and Noises

Heat Power

Noise is heard during 

heating.

Various sounds may be heard depending on the type of 

cookware. You may feel a small vibration when you hold 

the handle and the cookware may move slightly. 

  This is not a malfunction. Moving the cookware slightly 

or replacing it may eliminate the sound.

If the cookware is removed during heating, a short 

metallic sound may be heard.

The level of the noise 

from the appliance 

increases and 

decreases.

It is the sound of the cooling fan inside the appliance. The 

level of noise changes according to the power level and 

the material of the cookware. When the power level is 

increased, the fan will operate at high speed and generate 

more noise.

After the main power 

switch is turned off, 

sound from the fan 

can still be heard.

While the inside of the appliance is still hot, the cooling 

fan operates. When the appliance cools down, it will 

automatically stop.

Clicking noise is heard 

at the start of flex 

cooking operation.

This is not a malfunction. This is a part of induction 

heating technology. The noise is eliminated during 

operation.

The heating power is 

weaker.

If the base of the cookware overheats, the heating power 

will automatically reduce. The power indication will remain 

the same. The power returns to normal after the cookware 

cools down.
Unsuitable cookware, e.g. ceramic and earthenware pans, 

are used. 

  Do not use ceramic and earthenware pans even if they 

are for induction heating as they are not efficient. (See 

When multiple 

cooking zones are 

used together,

 

The heating power 

decreases.

 

The power indicator 

automatically 

decreases.

 

The power level can 

not be increased.

The power level is automatically regulated so that overall 

power consumption does not exceed the limit. 

 The power indicator for a cooking zone may decrease on 

its own. Even after touching the 

slider to adjust power level, 

it may not increase the power level and the appliance will 

beep. For cooking zone groups and its effects, see page
