The innovative induction hob Bosch PIF672FB1E is a powerful model with practical features and an attractive white design. It allows for quick and safe cooking with easy maintenance and low energy consumption. You will love the touch controls and the four powerful cooking zones with the PowerBoost function and many other practical gadgets.
Induction technology offers several advantages. Hobs generate heat only where it is needed, at the bottom of the pot. This means more security and convenience because you or your children do not burn your hands. In addition, an induction hob brings two litres of water to a boil twice as fast as a ceramic hob, saving a large amount of energy. Another advantage is that the cooking zones work at lower temperatures, so spilled food doesn't get burnt into the surface can be cleaned easily.
The hob has 17 power levels and all four cooking zones are equipped with PowerBoost. That means a very rapid heating to maximum temperature and less waiting for you. This feature is useful, for example, during heavy roasting. Controls are intuitive with a DirectSelect sensor system which allows for easy selection of a cooking zone and the power level you require. The display shows the hob's energy consumption. The device's speciality is the ReStart function, which is useful when your dish boils over. After inadvertently switching off the hob due to spillage you can restore all settings simply by pressing a single button. Easy to use, no delays.
Everyday use is made more enjoyable thanks to a number of practical features, such as the possibility of locking the control panel for 20 seconds when you need to clean the hob during cooking. Includes a timer that can be turned on during cooking and a 2-stage residual heat indicator which lets you know whether the panel is still hot. This feature can be used for heating already cooked food. A child safety lock will protect your children and make cooking safer overall. Board controls are blocked after its activation, so you can't turn on cooking zones or reprogram your chosen program.

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.
