• Hluk: A slight humming or clicking sound may be heard during operation, especially at higher settings or with certain types of cookware. This is normal for induction technology.
• Cookware Handles: Some metal cookware handles may vibrate slightly during use. This is a normal interaction with the electromagnetic field.
