Where to buy the Kaiser KCG 6335 ElfEm Turbo hob
🏆 Review & price summary
The Kaiser KCG 6335 ElfEm Turbo is a 58cm built-in gas hob designed for traditional kitchens. Its ivory gas-on-glass surface, real brass burners and brass-effect controls give it a distinctive Empire appearance, while the four-burner layout includes a powerful 3.8kW triple Turbo burner for fast cooking and wok use. Automatic ignition, flame-failure protection, LPG conversion support and dishwasher-safe cast-iron supports make it practical as well as decorative.
✓ Key strengths
- ✓ Distinctive ivory gas-on-glass design with front bevel and brass detailing
- ✓ Powerful 3.8kW triple Turbo burner suited to rapid cooking and wok use
- ✓ Automatic one-handed ignition with front-mounted controls
- ✓ Flame-failure safety device cuts the gas supply if a flame goes out
- ✓ Are dishwasher-safe
- ✓ Natural gas preset with LPG and propane conversion nozzles included
Worth considering
- Only four burners, giving less simultaneous cooking capacity than five-burner gas hobs
- Only one burner is rated above 1.75kW; the two standard burners are 1.75kW and the economy burner is 1kW, so high-heat cooking is concentrated on the Turbo zone
- Gas operation produces heat, moisture and combustion products, so the installation needs suitable kitchen ventilation
- The automatic ignition system requires both a gas supply and a 230V electrical connection

Design and installation
The Kaiser KCG 6335 ElfEm Turbo is a 58cm built-in gas hob with an ivory glass surface, a front bevel and contrasting brass-effect detailing. Its Empire styling is more traditional than the minimalist appearance of most black glass hobs.
The hob measures 5.5cm high, 58cm wide and 51cm deep, with a required niche measuring 56 × 49cm. It is preset for natural gas and includes nozzles for 30mbar and 50mbar LPG or propane conversion. The manufacturer also specifies a 230V electrical supply for the ignition system.
Cooking performance
The Kaiser KCG 6335 ElfEm Turbo provides four fixed gas burners: one 13cm triple Turbo burner rated at 3.8kW, two 6.5cm standard burners rated at 1.75kW each, and one 4cm economy burner rated at 1kW.
The 3.8kW triple burner is the standout cooking feature, providing concentrated heat for rapid boiling and wok cooking. A cast-iron wok adapter is included and can be used on any burner, although the Turbo burner is the most suitable position.
Controls and safety
Front-mounted rotary controls keep adjustment within easy reach without requiring users to reach across the burners. Automatic pilotless ignition allows each burner to be lit by pressing and turning its control knob.
A thermoelectric flame-failure safety device cuts the gas supply if a flame is extinguished. The manual also explains that the knob may need to remain pressed for approximately three to five seconds while the safety system activates.
Cleaning and build quality
The hob combines an ivory glass top with real brass burners, a bronze-coloured metal plate and removable matt-black cast-iron pan supports. The supports provide a stable base for cookware and are specified as dishwasher-safe.
The gas-on-glass surface gives the hob a more distinctive finish than plain stainless steel, while the removable supports make access around the burners easier during cleaning. The separate burner components still mean more parts to remove and clean than on a flat electric surface.
Efficiency and ventilation
The official technical datasheet records 53.20% energy efficiency for the gas cooking surface. That figure should be considered alongside the practical benefits of instant flame control and the Turbo burner rather than treated as equivalent to an electric cooking technology rating.
Because it is a gas appliance, the Kaiser KCG 6335 ElfEm Turbo produces heat, moisture and combustion products during use. Kaiser’s manual states that the kitchen should be well ventilated, with natural ventilation or mechanical extraction available.
Overall ownership
The Kaiser KCG 6335 ElfEm Turbo is strongest for buyers prioritising appearance, conventional gas control and a powerful wok-capable burner. Its front controls, flame-failure protection and dishwasher-safe supports add useful everyday practicality.
Its four-burner layout is adequate for normal family cooking, but buyers who routinely prepare several large pans simultaneously may prefer a five-burner hob. Installation also requires both a suitable gas supply and the electrical connection needed for ignition.
