FAQs
What type of cookware is compatible?
You must use induction-compatible cookware. Look for the induction symbol (a coil) on the cookware's base. A magnet will stick to the bottom of induction-ready pots and pans.
How do I clean the grease filters?
Remove the filters according to the instructions in the user manual. Most filters are dishwasher-safe. Clean them regularly to maintain optimal ventilation performance.
Can I use the CombiZone with any size of cookware?
The CombiZone is designed to heat larger cookware or griddles. Ensure the cookware covers both heating zones when using this function.
What is the warranty period?
The Bosch PVQ731H26E comes with a 2-year warranty.
How do I adjust the vent speed?
Use the DirectSelect controls to select the desired vent speed. You can also set the automatic ventilation feature to activate when cooking.
What happens if the vent is blocked?
If the vent is blocked, the extraction performance will decrease. Regularly check and clean the filters and the vent system to ensure proper airflow and optimal performance.
Is it possible to recirculate the air instead of ducting?
Yes, it is possible to use the hob in recirculating mode with the appropriate accessories. You will need to install a charcoal filter to remove odors.
Troubleshooting

Check the power supply and ensure the hob is correctly connected. Check the circuit breaker. If the problem persists, contact a qualified electrician.
