Operational Cooktop Noises

When the cooktop is in use, the fan may be running to dissipate heat and emitting a soft-sounding cooling fan sound. What can sometimes produce sound with induction cooking is not the induction equipment but the cookware itself. Slight sounds may be produced by different types of cookware. Some of the possible causes include:

• Light weight cookware may vibrate and produce noise. Heavy weight quality cookware is recommended.
• Cookware with irregular or warped bottoms may produce noise while cooking caused by vibration.
• A “Cracking” noise may be heard if the cookware base is made of layer of different material.
• A low “humming” noise occurs when cooking, which is normal particularly at high power settings.
• Loose-fitting handles on cookware, typically when riveted on, can vibrate slightly.
