Bosch PVQ81AH26E Series 6 80cm Venting Induction Hob
The Bosch PVQ81AH26E Series 6 80cm venting induction hob combines four induction cooking zones with an integrated downdraft extractor in a sleek carbon black matt finish.

Its Matt Design glass surface is designed to make scratches and fingerprints less visible compared with standard glass-ceramic surfaces, while the frameless, surface-mounted design gives the hob a contemporary appearance.

Its two CombiZones suit larger cookware, while PerfectFry Plus regulates pan temperature across 11 settings. Home Connect, DirectSelect controls and matt glass that helps disguise fingerprints and scratches add everyday convenience. It is a strong step up from Bosch Series 4 venting hobs for shoppers who value smarter features and greater flexibility.
Integrated Downdraft Extraction
This Bosch induction hob with integrated extractor removes steam and cooking odours at their source. Maximum normal extraction reaches 500 m³/h, with boost extraction up to 622 m³/h.
The integrated ventilation system provides nine speed settings plus two intensive settings, together with automatic delay shut-off and clean filter reminders. Bosch SilentPowerDrive technology is also included.
The AutoOn function automatically starts the ventilation when the hob is switched on, helping remove steam without requiring you to activate the extractor separately. Ventilation can also be controlled manually when required.
The extractor has a B energy rating. Sound power is 69 dB at maximum normal speed and 74 dB on boost.
Four Induction Zones with Two CombiZones
The Bosch PVQ81AH26E features four induction cooking zones and two CombiZones. CombiZone allows two adjacent induction zones to be combined, providing additional space for larger cookware such as oversized pans or roasting trays.
Each cooking zone offers variable 17-stage power control, while PowerBoost provides additional heating power when required.
DirectSelect Controls
DirectSelect provides straightforward access to cooking zones, power levels and additional functions. The intuitive control panel and supporting lightline make it quicker and easier to select the required zone and adjust its settings.
QuickStart detects where a suitable pan has been placed and displays the corresponding cooking zone on the control interface, allowing you to select the required cooking level without unnecessary steps.
PerfectFry Plus Temperature Control
The front-right cooking zone features the PerfectFry Plus frying sensor, designed to help maintain a steady pan temperature and reduce the risk of scorching food.
The sensor continuously measures and displays the pan temperature, with 11 preset temperature settings from 70°C to 220°C. This gives you greater control when frying different dishes and helps deliver more consistent cooking results.
Home Connect Smart Features
With Wi-Fi and Home Connect, the Bosch PVQ81AH26E supports connected functions including remote monitoring and iService Remote.
Remote Diagnostics allows Bosch customer service to remotely assess the connected appliance via the internet with your permission. Some Home Connect features require the hob to be connected to a Home Connect Account and SingleKey ID account.
Useful Everyday Cooking Functions
The Pause function temporarily stops heating and blocks the hob controls when you need to interrupt cooking. Cooking can then be resumed within ten minutes.
Restart can restore previous hob settings when the appliance is accidentally switched off and then switched back on within four seconds.
A ChildLock prevents accidental changes to the control panel. Additional safety features include inactivity shut-off, pan and pot recognition shut-off, spill recognition shut-off and separate residual heat indicators.
Matt Black Frameless Design
The carbon black Matt Design finish gives this 80cm venting induction hob a distinctive contemporary appearance. Bosch states that scratches and fingerprints are less visible on the matt surface compared with standard glass-ceramic.
The hob is frameless and designed for surface-mounted installation, with the cooking surface sitting slightly elevated above the worktop.
