This may be caused by the
construction of your cookware
(layers of different metals
vibrating differently).
This is caused by the technology
of induction cooking.

induction hob has come on to
prevent the electronics from
overheating. It may continue to
run even after you've turned the
induction hob off.
The induction hob cannot
detect the pan because it is not

Technical fault.
What to do
Make sure the induction hob is
connected to the power supply
and that it is switched on.
Check whether there is a power
outage in your home or area. If
you've checked everything and the problem persists, call a
qualified
technician.
Unlock the controls. See section
'Using your induction cooktop' for instructions.
Make sure the touch control area is dry and use the ball of
your finger when touching the controls.
Use cookware with flat and smooth bases. See 'Choosing

See 'Care and cleaning'.
This is normal for cookware and
does not indicate a fault.
This is normal, but the noise should quieten down or
disappear completely when you decrease the heat
setting.
This is normal and needs no action. Do not switch the
power to the induction hob off at the wall while the fan is
running.
Use cookware suitable for induction cooking. See section
'Choosing the right cookware'.
Centre the pan and make sure that its base matches the
size of the cooking zone.
