hobs:
At a high setting there may be a
humming sound. This occurs for
technical reasons and does not
indicate a fault in your cooker or
pressure cooker. The diameter of
the base and the size of the hob
must correspond in size otherwise
where the diameter is small, the
hob (magnetic field) may not react
to the pan base.
