How Induction Cooking Works

Cooking Noise

The magnetic fields induce a small current in the pan.

The pan acts as a resistor, which produces heat, much

like a radiant coil.

The cooking surface itself does not heat. Heat is

produced in the cooking pan, and cannot be generated

until a pan is placed on the cooking surface.

When the element is activated, the pan begins to heat

immediately and in turn heats the contents of the pan.

Magnetic induction cooking requires the use of cookware

stick, such as iron or steel.

be large enough for the safety sensor to activate an

element.

The cooktop will not operate if a very small steel or iron

knives and other small utensils.

Cookware “noise”

Slight sounds may be produced by different types

of cookware. Heavier pans such as enameled cast

iron produce less noise than a lighter weight multi-ply

stainless steel pan. The size of the pan, and the amount

of contents, can also contribute to the sound level.

When using adjacent elements that are set at certain

power level settings, magnetic fields may interact and

sounds can be reduced or eliminated by lowering or

raising the power level settings of one or both of the

settings.

Slight sounds, such as hums or buzzes, may be

produced by different types of cookware. This is normal.

Heavier and uniform material pans such as enameled

cast iron produce less sound than lighter weight multi-

layered stainless steel pans or pans that have bonded

disks on the bottom of the pan. The size of the pan, the

amount of contents in the pan, and the flatness of the

pan can also contribute to the sound level. Some pots

sound may be heard if the pan contents are cold. As the

reduced, the sound level will go down.

for the burner can produce louder sounds. They can

cause the controller to "search" for the pot and produce

a clicking and "zipping" sound. This can happen when

one burner is running or only when an adjacent burner

bottom.
