14. Fig 25 12 Operational Noises The electronics generating the induction fields are pretty much noiseless but they do produce heat at high power level A soft sounding cooling fan activates when the unit is running multiple cooking zones at once or when a cooking zone is set at very high power settings The buzzing sound you could hear from your cooktop is not coming from the electronics but from the cookware you are using Here are some causes of this noise e Most induction ready cookware are made of several layers of materials An encapsulated steel layer is usually used to harness the induction field and transform it into heat which is then transferred to the other materials by radiant energy The induction field will cause the steel layer to vibrate against the other materials in which it is encapsulated This is the most common cause of noise from the induction process This buzzing only happens at the higher power level settings Note that high quality cookware manufacturers weld this steel layer in place which lowers or cancel this noise e Light weight cookware may also vibrate We recommend using heavy weight quality cookware e Cookware with warped bottoms can vibrate on the ceramic glass surface at high power settings The power output of your induction cooktop is capable of warping an empty pan Never use the higher power settings on an empty pan Even the highest quality cookware is vulnerable to warping Riveted
