When a cooking zone is switche d on, this coil creat es a magnet‐ ic field which impacts directly on the base of the pan and heats it up. The cooking zone itself is heated up indi‐ rectly by the heat given off by the pan.
Induction 20 Noises When using an induction cooking zone, the following noises can occur in the pan, depending on what it is made of and how it has been construc ted. On the higher power settings, it might buzz. This will decr ease or cease alto‐ gether when the power setting is re‐ duced.
