Bosch Ceramic Hob - Black - PKE61RAA8B

This hob requires a hard-wired electrical connection, meaning it does not come with a standard plug and should be installed by a qualified electrician.

Each cooking zone features 9 variable power settings, allowing for precise control over your cooking.

The ChildLock feature locks the hob's control panel, preventing accidental changes to settings or activation of the hob, which is ideal for households with young children.

The hob's product dimensions are 45mm (Height) x 592mm (Width) x 522mm (Depth). Please refer to the installation manual for precise cutout dimensions for your countertop.

Yes, ceramic hobs are compatible with virtually all types of cookware that have a flat base, including stainless steel, cast iron, glass, and enamel. Unlike induction hobs, magnetic properties are not required.

Allow the hob to cool completely. For daily cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap. For stubborn stains, use a specialized ceramic hob cleaner and a hob scraper if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners or sponges.

Check if the control panel lock or ChildLock is active. Press and hold the lock symbol for a few seconds to deactivate it. Ensure the hob is properly connected to the power supply.

Ensure the correct cooking zone has been selected and a power level set. Check if there are any error codes displayed. Briefly disconnect the hob from the power supply (at the fuse box) and reconnect after a minute to reset it.

Ensure you are using cookware with a flat, clean base that makes full contact with the cooking zone. Adjust the power setting accordingly; higher settings might be too intense for certain foods or cookware.

While difficult to remove completely, prevention is key. Always lift pots and pans instead of sliding them. Ensure the hob surface and cookware bases are clean before placing them on the hob. Use a specialized ceramic hob cleaner to reduce the appearance of minor marks.

This could indicate a spill on the control panel. Wipe the control area completely dry. If the issue persists, briefly disconnect the hob from the mains power supply and reconnect.
