The guide says it may be most noticeable at high power settings or with five pans running at once, and that the type of pan contributes — cheap multi-ply bases buzz where heavy single-piece bases usually do not. What is worth mentioning to us is noise from inside the cooktop with no pan on it, or a cooling fan that runs on loudly long after everything is switched off. ### Quoted rather than interpreted > When using the induction hob there may be some 'noise' emitted from the pan. This is normal and may be most noticeable when cooking on high power settings or if 5 pans are used simultaneously. From the CornuFé 110 induction installation and user guide (U111136-03, January 2023), in a User Guide & Service Manual downloaded from La Cornue’s own site. Nothing on this page is decoded beyond what that sentence says. ### Which machines this one applies to La Cornue induction cooktops and rangetops, and the electric and multifunction ovens. La Cornue publishes three codes in the whole of its US documentation and its Château guide carries no troubleshooting section, so a behavior missing from this archive is not proof that your appliance cannot do it — the maker simply never wrote a table for it. What its guides do document, they document in sentences, and those are on this site under the maker’s own wording. The model number, and which top the range was ordered with, settle what any of it means. ### What to do about it - Change pans and listen again. If the noise follows the pan, that is the answer. - Notice whether it only happens at high settings or on boost, which is what the maker describes. - Distinguish pan noise from cooktop noise by lifting the pan off with the zone still on. - Mention a cooling fan that runs on loudly or continuously — that is not in this category. - Do not treat it as a reason to replace a hob that is otherwise working perfectly. ### Where this goes next The job this usually becomes is [diagnostic visit](/services/diagnostic-visit/), and every one of those pages carries a starting figure and the reasons that move it. If it turns out to be nothing — and on this make a real share of these are modes rather than problems — the visit ends there and you pay the diagnostic and nothing else, or call [(305) 614-3699](tel:+13056143699) and describe what the display is doing before booking anything.
