This “clicking” is generated by the continuous pan recognition function and is completely normal.
However, this noise may be regarded as a nuisance.
If the noise bothers you too much, it can be switched off in the customer programming mode. However, cookware will no longer be recognized and the numerical display for the cooking zone will no longer be displayed automatically.
To switch off continuous pan recognition, proceed as follows:
Accessing programming mode:
With the cooktop turned off, touch and hold the (1) and (2) sensor controls together until the (3) symbol lights up and PC appears in the timer display.
Setting the program:
For a two-digit program number you first need to set the tens position.
While the program is visible in the display (e.g., P:01), touch the sensor control (3) repeatedly until program number P:15 appears in the display. Alternatively, touch the relevant numbers on the numerical display.
Setting the code:
While the code is visible in the display (e.g., C:01), touch the sensor control (3) repeatedly until code number C:00 (“Continuous pan recognition not active”) appears in the display. Alternatively, touch the relevant numbers on the numerical display.
Saving the settings:
While the program is visible in the display (P:15), touch the sensor control (1) until the indicators go out.
To avoid saving the settings:
While the code is showing in the display (C:00), touch the sensor control (1) until the indicators go out.
