Setting Cooktop Controls Power Sharing The cooktop is equipped with five cooking zones within three heating sections: right, left and center. Each section is powered by one induction inverter. The two cooking zones in the right and left section share the power of one inverter. The center section has its own inverter. If you are cooking in both zones of a heating section, the last zone that began to heat will cook at the power setting you selected. The other zone will experience a slight decrease from its power setting. Power Sharing Tips: Remember to select the power setting last for the cooking zone you want to maintain at full setting heat. To maintain full setting heat for two items, place one item on a zone in one section, and the other item on a zone in another section.

These noises are normal and part of the Induction Cooking process. Please note that these noises are more noticeable while cooking at the Power BOOST level. Very loud noises are not part of normal Induction Cooking.
