Matt Design
Discover Bosch's Matt Design hobs, where sophistication meets practicality. The carbon black matt finish enhances your kitchen's elegant look with less visible scratches and fingerprints* compared to standard glass-ceramic surfaces.
Hob with Integrated Ventilated Module
The integrated ventilation module combines the best of our induction cooktops and cooker hoods. Because it is built into the cooktop surface, it draws away cooking smells and steam right where they start. This way, you don’t need a separate hood, and you have more overhead space for cabinets – or a clear view across your kitchen.
DirectSelect
DirectSelect allows you to select the cooking zones and set the power that you want for your needs. The intuitive control panel makes it quicker and easier to make your favourite dishes.

- Suitable for ducted or recirculated extraction installations in 4 different options (unducted, partly and fully ducted recirculation or ducted extraction). Installation accessories for unducted recirculation, among these four cleanAir odor filters and a telescopic slider element, are included in the cooktop. The included accessories allow easy and quick installations and can be planned in all worktop depths ≥60cm. For other types of installation, one of the following accessory kits is recommended:
- HEZ9VDKR1 for partly-ducted recirculation in worktops of ≥60cm depth with max. worktop height of 960 mm. HEZ9VDKR0 for partly-ducted recirculation in worktops of ≥70cm depth with max. worktop height of 960 mm.
- HEZ9VDKE1 as starter kit for ducted extraction in worktops of ≥60cm depth.
- To complete the fully ducted extraction or to do any other individual recirculation planning different ducting accessories are available.
- Planning suggestions:
- - Installation is possible in island as well as wall oriented configurations.
- The product and its accessories comply with the Needle Flame Test (according to IEC 60695-11-5) and the V2 flammability class (according to UL94).
- - The max. immersion depth is 223 mm below worktop surface.
- - The appliance must be freely accessible from below (i.e. for accessing the lower liquid safety collector).
- - No false floor is necessary below the cooktop with integrated downdraft ventilation system. The drawers and/or shelves in the floor unit must be removable. The backpanel of the floor unit can be kept - only a cut-out for the air outlet is needed (position and size can be taken from the installation instructions).
- An installation with unducted recirculation requires a vertical aperture of min. 25mm behind the backpanel of the furniture. Suggested for ideal performance are 50mm.
- The minimum worktop thickness is 16 mm for top mounted and flush installed appliances with the standard installation system.
- - The overall appliance weight is 26kg - the bearing capacity and stability, in the case of very thin worktops in particular, must be supported using suitable substructures. The overall appliance weight and the worktop manufacturer's structural integrity specifications are to be taken into account.
- - For partly ducted and unducted recirculation extraction installations, a return-flow aperture of ≥400cm² is to be respected in the plinth area. The aperture can be realized via outlet grids, lamella grids or subtly shortened plinths depending on the assortment of the kitchen furniture manufacturer.
- - The air outlet on the backside of the appliance can directly be accessed with a male flat duct element (DN 150).
- - The pressuredrop resistant blower allows longer and more complex ductings up to 8m with three 90° bows while keeping sufficient performance.
- - When installing a ventilation hood with ducted extraction and a chimney-vented fireplace, the power supply line of the appliance needs a suitable safety switch. This is not required for configurations in recirculated extraction.
- - In ducted extraction configuration a one-way flap (or backflow trap) with a maximum opening pressure of 65Pa should be installed.
