Description

Frameless glass that is easy to keep clean

Without a frame the glass blends smoothly into the worktop, and dirt cannot collect under a metal edge. Bosch describes the surface as easy to clean. Seventeen power levels give enough precision for slow simmering as well as fast boiling. The ReStart function helps if the hob is switched off by accident: the previous settings can be restored quickly.

Who this hob is for

PKE611BA2E fits a 60 cm kitchen unit and suits anyone who wants a simple, dependable ceramic hob without extra gadgets. The child lock is useful in a family where small hands already reach the worktop. If you need a timer, note that this model does not have one.

Questions & answers

Does it need a separate power line?

The hob is rated at 6600 W on a 220–240 V supply. That is a heavy load, so have an electrician check that the kitchen wiring and fuse are suitable.

Which pans can I use?

Pots and pans with a flat base work on a ceramic hob, and no magnetic base is needed as it is for induction. The better the base sits on the glass, the faster the heat transfers.

Does it have a timer or boost?

No. According to Bosch, PKE611BA2E has neither a timer nor a boost function; heat is set with 17 power levels.
