Possible Causes

Normal magnetostriction noise amplified by cookware, Thin or multi-layer pan base, Loose mounting of induction coil, Resonance in cabinet

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

User guidance:

  • Try a different pan with a thicker, high-quality base; noise often depends on cookware.
  • Reduce the power level slightly; noise usually decreases at lower settings.
  • Ensure the pan is centered and sits flat on the glass.

Technical checks (if noise is excessive or new):

  • Disconnect power and remove the hob.
  • Inspect the mounting screws and springs holding the induction coils to the glass; tighten to the specified torque.
  • Add or replace damping pads if provided by V-ZUG for noise reduction.

Some level of humming is normal for induction hobs and is not a fault if performance is otherwise correct.
