The cooling fan will run when any element is turned on. With heavy use the fan may continue to run after the controls are turned off until the cooktop has cooled.
Noises are heard during cooking. The following noises are normal.
Humming/buzzing sound
Caused by the magnetic field transmitting power to the cookware. It is most noticeable at high power settings and becomes quieter if the power is reduced.
Whistling sound
Most noticeable with lighter weight cookware or when cookware is empty.
Under certain conditions, your cookware may produce a high-pitched whistling noise when two elements are in use at the same time. The power levels at which this occurs may vary depending on the kind of cookware being used. Change the power level to eliminate the noise or reduce its volume.
Cracking sound
May occur when using composite cookware as the different materials resonate and heat at different rates. This will not damage or impair the performance of the cookware.
Clicking sound
Caused by the electrical switches.
It is normal to hear a clicking noise when operating burners below power level 6.
Ticking sound
Caused by the cookware detection.
The Boost function has been deactivated or cannot be activated.
To prevent damage to the product, if one of the right-side elements is turned on when the center dual element is using the Boost setting, the power setting of the center dual element is automatically reduced to power level 9.

For safety, after 6 minutes the Boost setting will automatically revert to either power level 9 or the previously set power level.
