Bosch PUE611BB1E user manual

An induction hob such as the Bosch PUE611BB1E works by using electromagnetism to create heat. This is done by a copper coil located below the surface of the hob which creates a magnetic field when electricity flows through it.
When a ferromagnetic pan (like an iron or stainless steel pan) is placed on the hob, this magnetic field induces an electrical current in the pan. This current creates heat, which then cooks the food.
The surface of the induction hob doesn't get hot itself; instead, it's the pan that generates the heat, offering safer and more efficient cooking. It allows for precise and quick temperature adjustments.
Additionally, the Bosch PUE611BB1E boasts features such as touch controls, a timer with automatic shut-off for all zones, and a Quickstart function.

The key symbol on a Bosch induction hob represents the key lock function. This function is used to lock or unlock the control panel of the hob, preventing accidental changes to the settings or turning it on/off. When the key symbol is displayed, it means that the control panel is locked, and you need to unlock it before you can use the hob. The process of unlocking may vary depending on the specific model, so it is advisable to refer to the user manual for detailed instructions.

There could be several reasons why your Bosch induction hob won't turn on. Here are a few possible explanations:
1. Power supply issues: Make sure the hob is properly connected to a power source and that the power outlet is functional. Check the circuit breaker or fuse box to ensure there is power reaching the hob.
2. Safety features: Some induction hobs have built-in safety features that may prevent them from turning on. For example, there may be a child lock feature that needs to be disabled before the hob will operate.
3. Controls and settings: Check that the controls and settings are correctly adjusted. Make sure you are using the correct power level or zone selection for the hob to start heating.
4. Faulty connection or wiring: Inspect the hob's wiring and connections for any loose or damaged parts that may be preventing it from turning on. If you suspect a faulty connection, it's best to consult a professional technician to avoid any risks.
5. Technical issues: There may be a fault or malfunction with the hob itself, such as a defective control board or internal component. If none of the above solutions work, it is advisable to contact Bosch customer service or a qualified technician for further assistance or repairs.
