Serie | 6 Induction hob with integrated ventilation system 70 cm PVQ731F15E

The induction hob with integrated ventilation module: combines induction with ventilation technology for perfect results.

• DirectSelect: Direct, simple selection of the desired cooking zone, power and additional functions.
• CombiZone: combine two induction cooking zones to heat large cookware.
• AutoOn function: automatically draws steam away when your hob heats up.
• Front-Bevel: Elegant, appealing design with bevelled front.
• MoveMode: the automatic setting of cooking levels allows you to boil water on the front and simmer sauce on the rear cooking zone.

Usage convenience

• DirectSelect: directly control the power with the imprinted touch bar.
• Variable 17-stage power settings for each zone: precisely adapt the heat with 17 power levels (9 main levels and 8 intermediate levels).
• Timer for all zones : switches off the cooking zone at the end of the time set (e.g. for boiled eggs).
• Timer - shows how long the cooktop is in use : an alarm sounds at the end of the time set (e.g. for pasta).

Time saving & efficiency

• PowerBoost function for all zones : boil water faster thanks to 50% more energy than at the highest standard level.
• MoveMode (2 levels): increase or decrease the power level simply by moving the pot forwards or backwards.
• QuickStart function: when switching on, the hob automatically selects the cooking zone with cookware (when placed on a zone whilst the hob is off).
• ReStart function: in case of unintentional switch-off, this feature restores all previous settings by switching on the hob again within 4 seconds

Safety

• 2 stage residual heat indicator for each zone: indicates which cooking zones are still hot or warm.
• Control panel lock: prevent unintended activation of the hob.
• Freeze function: wipe overboiled liquids without unintentionally changing settings (blocking all touch buttons for 30 seconds).
• Main on/off switch: switch off all cooking zones at the touch of a button.
• Safety cut-out switch-off: for safety reasons, heating stops after a preset time if not used (possible to customise).
• Energy consumption display: shows the electricity consumption of the last cooking process.

Integrated ventilation downdraft system

• Induction cooktop with fully integrated high-performance downdraft extractor.
• Suitable for ducted or recirculated extraction configuration (incl. differentiated software modes). Installation accessories for unducted recirculation, among these four cleanAir odor filters and a telescopic slider element, are included in the cooktop. Accessories for other installation options are available, details in the planning notes.
   
• Aesthetically integrated fully flush air intake design with floating, heat resistant glass ceramics element for free movement and placement of cookware.
• Ventilation system with 9 electronically controlled fan power levels and 2 Boost-/Intensive fan power levels (with automatic revert) via DirectSelect user interface: 
• - Automatic switch-on of ventilation system when a cooking zone is used.
• - Automatic delayed shut-off after cooking to erase residual odours after cooking (in specific ultra low-noise fan level, 12min in ducted extraction, 30min in recirculated extraction, can be shut-off manually).
• - Fully manual control possible via DirectSelect.
• High-performance, low-noise motor with energy-efficient BLDC-technology. High extraction rates at very low noises with pleasant noise frequencies through psycho-acoustically and aerodynamically optimised interior with enclosed, hidden motor. Highly pressure-drop resistant even with longer and more complex ducting systems.
• Easy-to-detach and easy-to-clean grease filter and liquid collector unit:
• - Convenient one-hand removal of unit via floating glass ceramics handle.
• - Integrated, large-scale, high performance stainless-steel grease filters with 12 filtration layers and one black top layer for enhanced aesthetical integration. Grease filtration efficiency of 94 %.
• - All parts of the unit are easy-to-clean, fully dishwasher safe and heat resistant.
• - (Upper) Liquid collector unit with 200ml of capacity for standard accidental spillages or cooking condensate.
• - Powerful drainage system for spillages that exceed 200ml of liquids.
• - Liquid safety collector with additional capacity of 700ml for more severe accidental situations. Dishwasher safe. Easily accessible and detachable from below.
• - Overall capturing capacity of 900ml (200ml + 700ml).
• - Watertight motor system.

What is an induction hob?

An induction hobs heat the pan not the hob using an electrical current.

Induction hobs can heat a pan faster than a traditional gas or electric hob, and are more energy efficient.  An induction hob can only be used with induction compatible pans.
