Bosch Series 6 PVQ731F15E Hob F.A.Q.

How do I lock the touch controls on the Bosch Series 6 PVQ731F15E Hob?

To lock the touch controls, press and hold the key lock button for a few seconds until the lock symbol appears on the display. This prevents accidental changes to the settings.

What should I do if the Bosch hob is not heating up?

Ensure that the hob is properly connected to the power supply and that the circuit breaker is not tripped. Check if the cooking zone is correctly selected and if the cookware is suitable for induction cooking.

How can I clean the Bosch Series 6 PVQ731F15E Hob safely?

Use a soft cloth or sponge with warm soapy water to clean the surface. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads that might scratch the glass surface. For stubborn stains, a hob scraper can be used gently.

What type of cookware is compatible with the Bosch Series 6 induction hob?

The hob is compatible with cookware made from ferrous materials such as cast iron or stainless steel. To test compatibility, see if a magnet sticks to the bottom of the cookware.

Why does the hob display an error code "E"?

Error code "E" usually indicates an issue with the power supply or an internal fault. Try resetting the hob by turning off the power at the circuit breaker for a few minutes. If the problem persists, contact Bosch customer service.

Can I use a pressure cooker on the Bosch Series 6 PVQ731F15E Hob?

Yes, you can use a pressure cooker as long as it is induction-compatible. Ensure it has a flat bottom for optimal heat transfer.

How do I activate the PowerBoost function on my Bosch hob?

Select the desired cooking zone and press the PowerBoost button. This function temporarily increases the power output for faster heating.

What is the residual heat indicator on the Bosch Series 6 hob?

The residual heat indicator alerts you that a cooking zone is still hot after use. It helps prevent accidental burns and indicates when it is safe to clean the hob.

How can I prevent scratches on the glass surface of my Bosch hob?

Always lift pots and pans rather than dragging them across the surface. Use cookware with smooth, clean bottoms, and avoid using metal utensils that could scratch the glass.

What should I do if the hob's touch controls are unresponsive?

Ensure that your fingers are clean and dry, and that the hob surface is not wet. If the issue persists, try resetting the hob by turning off the power at the circuit breaker for a few minutes.
