Hob with extraction BOSCH PVQ61AH26E Serie 6
The 60 cm wide BOSCH PVQ61AH26E Serie 6 induction hob combines fast and economical induction cooking with integrated extraction directly in the cooking surface.

The matte black Matt Design surface helps reduce the visibility of scratches, fingerprints and smudges, while the DirectSelect+ control allows you to quickly select cooking zones, power and other functions. The CombiZone connects two induction zones for larger dishes and the AutoOn function automatically triggers the extraction of cooking vapours.

Hob with integrated extraction
The BOSCH PVQ61AH26E combines an induction hob and hood in one appliance. The ventilation module is built directly into the hob and takes the steam and cooking odours directly to where they originate. This eliminates the need for a classic overhead hood, giving you more headroom, a clearer view and a sleeker kitchen look.
AutoOn - automatic start of ventilation
Thanks to the AutoOn function, the ventilation starts automatically when the hob is switched on. So you don't have to manually switch on the extractor every time you cook - the hob ensures a fresher kitchen environment right from the start of cooking. The function helps to reduce the spread of odours and fumes and makes everyday cooking more pleasant.
Matt Design - elegant surface with less visible scratches
The matt finish of the BOSCH PVQ61AH26E gives your kitchen a modern and sophisticated look. Thanks to the innovative design, scratches are up to 5 times less visible than on conventional glass ceramic surfaces. The matt design also helps reduce the visibility of fingerprints and smudges, so the hob looks neater even in everyday use.
DirectSelect+ - easy and clear operation
The DirectSelect+ control allows you to easily select the desired cooking zone and directly set the corresponding power level. The clear control panel with light line makes it easy to navigate the settings and speeds up daily operation. So you have everything under control without unnecessary complicated settings.
CombiZone for large dishes
The CombiZone function combines two separate induction cooking zones into one larger area. This allows you to conveniently use larger pots, pans or baking dishes that would not fit on a conventional cooking zone. The hob can easily adapt to cooking in larger cookware.
PerfectFry Plus - frying without burning
The correct temperature is essential when frying. The PerfectFry Plus sensor continuously monitors the temperature of the pan to help prevent food from overheating and burning. You can choose from 11 preset temperatures ranging from 70 to 220°C, so you can easily prepare meat, vegetables, pancakes and other dishes with more precise results.
Remote diagnostics for smart support
In case of problems, the remote diagnostics function can facilitate communication with Bosch customer support. With your permission, service support can remotely check the connected appliance, help identify the problem and suggest a course of action. This can make the solution faster and more accurate.
Frying Sensor Assistant for correct temperature
Frying Sensor Assistant helps you set the ideal temperature for selected recipes. Simply select a recipe in a supported app or use the voice assistant and the correct settings for PerfectFry Plus are sent directly to the BOSCH PVQ61AH26E Series 6.
PowerBoost - faster heating when you're in a hurry
The PowerBoost function increases the power of the selected cooking zone and significantly speeds up heating. It is useful, for example, for bringing large quantities of water to the boil or for quick food preparation when you don't want to waste time waiting. It can speed up heating by up to 35% compared to the highest conventional power level.
QuickStart - start cooking without waiting
The QuickStart function detects which cooking zone you have placed the cooker on and automatically selects it on the control panel when you switch it on. Just set the desired power level and you're ready to cook. This feature saves time and makes everyday use of the BOSCH PVQ61AH26E Serie 6 more enjoyable.
ReStart - return to the last setting
If the hob is accidentally switched off, for example due to overflowing food, the ReStart function saves the last selected setting. After cleaning the control surface, you can simply reset the settings by pressing the button and continue cooking without having to set all the parameters again.
Timer with shutdown function
The handy timer allows you to set the cooking time for the selected cooking zone. When the set time has elapsed, the zone automatically switches off, so you have more control over your food preparation. The function is useful, for example, when cooking pasta, rice or dishes that require a precise cooking time.
Child lock for increased safety
A child lock helps prevent the hob from being switched on accidentally or settings changed. It is activated by a long press of a button and increases safety in the home, especially where children are present. This way, you can be sure that the BOSCH PVQ61AH26E Serie 6 hob will not be started by mistake.
Induction cooking - fast, safe and economical
Induction technology generates heat directly in the bottom of the pot, so heating is fast, precise and energy efficient. The surface around the pot stays cooler than on conventional electric hobs, increasing both safety and comfort when cooking. Plus, thanks to the fast power onset, you can easily prepare everyday meals with less energy consumption.

What do I need for recirculation?
You need a recirculation kit, which includes carbon filters and possibly a deflector.
Can the hob be connected for recirculation?
Yes, most modern hobs with integrated extraction support recirculation mode.
Is the extraction efficiency sufficient? Does the extraction work well?
Yes, thanks to its proximity to the source of the vapors, extraction is very effective even at lower power settings.
Is an extractor directly in the hob better, or is it better behind/above the hob?
A hob extractor saves overhead space, while a classic hood tends to run slightly quieter.
Does the extractor have a notification for the need to clean/replace filters?
Most models come with a saturation indicator for both the grease and carbon filters.
How long can the duct connection be for external extraction?
A length of up to 5–7 meters with as few bends as possible is recommended to keep performance up.
Is a non-return valve included in the equipment?
It depends on the model — versions designed for external ducting often include a non-return valve or ductwork in the package.
What happens if liquid spills on the hob and flows into the extractor?
Extractors have a liquid collection tray that can be easily removed and cleaned.
Is it possible to install an oven under a hob with extraction?
Yes, but it requires careful space planning for the ductwork and cooling.
Why isn't the ductwork included in the package?
Because every installation is unique and requires a different length and type of connecting components.

What is the difference between flexi, combi zone, and round inductors?
Round zones have a fixed size. A combi zone bridges two separate zones into one larger area. A flexi zone, on the other hand, adapts to the shape and size of the cookware anywhere on the surface.
Can I connect the hob to 400V?
Yes, most induction hobs can be connected to 400V (two phases), which is actually recommended for reaching full power.
Why can't I connect a hob with a power input of 4.6 kW to two phases?
A 4.6 kW power input is designed to run on a single, stronger phase. Splitting the load across two phases usually requires a higher total power rating, around 7 kW.
On your website, you state Voltage 220-240 V, can the hob be connected to a multi-phase connection?
Yes, the 220-240V figure refers to the voltage per phase. The hob can typically be connected to two phases (400V) as well.
Which hobs are designed for flush installation?
These are frameless models with polished edges, listed in the range as suitable for flush-mount installation.
The hob is noisy, it clicks loudly.
The clicking comes from switching relays or the power management function. It's a normal operating characteristic of induction technology, not a fault.
Is it possible to turn off the sound signals on the hob?
Yes, on Bosch and Siemens models this can be done in the "Basic Settings" menu (C2). Confirmation tones can be muted, but warning signals stay active regardless.
What is the smallest diameter of cookware that will work on an induction hob?
The minimum diameter depends on the size of the zone, and typically falls somewhere between 9 and 12 cm.
