Bosch Induction Cooktop User Guide 24-BOS-1831I

Quick Tips and Tricks

This guide provides essential operating tips for your Bosch induction cooktop. Always ensure the cooktop is clean and cool before beginning any maintenance. If the cooking zone display blinks, it indicates that no pan is detected; place your cookware on the zone within 30 seconds to prevent it from switching off automatically.

Cookware Compatibility

Only use cookware that is safe and approved for induction cooktops. You can easily test compatibility by checking if a magnet sticks to the bottom of the pan. If it does, the cookware is suitable for use.

Advanced Features

Bosch induction cooktops include several features to maximize performance. Note that availability may vary by model:

• SpeedBoost: Use this function when heating large amounts of water for faster boiling.
• FlexInduction: Combines two cooking zones into one large area, ideal for griddles or large pans. Only the areas covered by cookware are activated.
• PowerMove: Activates the flexible cooking zone into three distinct power levels, allowing you to move your pan to adjust heat without changing settings.
• AutoChef: Controls the temperature of the pan via a sensor to prevent overheating and save energy.

Safety Features

The cooktop is equipped with a residual heat indicator that lights up when a zone is turned off but remains hot; do not touch the area while this light is on. To prevent accidental activation, use the Panel Lock feature: press the Clean Lock / Child Lock button for four seconds to turn the lock on or off.

Cleaning and Care

Always wait until the cooktop has fully cooled before cleaning. Follow these steps for proper maintenance:

• Wipe away spatter with a clean, damp cloth.
• Remove food residue using a glass cooktop scraper held at a low angle (20-30 degrees). Using the scraper at a higher angle may scratch the surface.
• Apply a glass cooktop cleaner with a soft cloth and wipe away excess.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, harsh chemicals, or dirty sponges.
• Remove plastic or high-sugar spills immediately after the surface has cooled.
• For stubborn grease, apply a dedicated degreaser, wait 3 to 5 minutes, and rub with a soft cloth.
