Where to buy the Kaiser KCG 6335 RotEm Turbo hob
🏆 Review & price summary
The Kaiser KCG 6335 RotEm Turbo is a Bordeaux-red gas-on-glass hob from the Empire range, combining four gas burners with front-mounted metal controls, automatic ignition and thermoelectric flame-failure protection. Its main cooking feature is a 3.8kW triple-ring Turbo burner supplied with a cast-iron wok adapter.
✓ Key strengths
- ✓ A powerful 3.8kW triple-ring Turbo burner for high-heat cooking
- ✓ Its four-burner layout includes both a 1.0kW economy burner and two 1.75kW standard burners for more controlled everyday cooking
- ✓ Thermoelectric flame-failure protection automatically interrupts the gas supply if a flame goes out
- ✓ Removable dishwasher-safe cast-iron supports and the included wok adapter improve practicality
Worth considering
- The Kaiser KCG 6335 RotEm Turbo gas hob needs both a gas connection and a 230V electrical supply for ignition, so it is not a purely gas-only installation
- The two cast-iron supports are robust and dishwasher-safe but heavier to remove and handle than lighter pan-support designs
- The nominal 60cm class uses a 58cm appliance width and a 56 x 49cm cut-out, so existing worktop compatibility must be checked carefully

Design and installation
The Kaiser KCG 6335 RotEm Turbo is a built-in gas hob with a Bordeaux-red glass surface, front bevel and Empire-style bronze detailing. Its real brass burners, antique-bronze metal controls and black cast-iron supports give it a more decorative appearance than a standard black gas hob.
Although marketed as a 60cm hob, the appliance itself measures 58cm wide and requires a 56cm by 49cm cut-out. Existing worktops should therefore be measured carefully before installation. The manufacturer specifies both gas and electrical connections, with installation and gas conversion carried out by a qualified technician.
Cooking performance
The Kaiser KCG 6335 RotEm Turbo gas hob has four fixed burners: a 13cm triple-ring Turbo burner rated at 3.8kW, two 6.5cm standard burners rated at 1.75kW each and a 4cm economy burner rated at 1.0kW.
This arrangement covers high-heat cooking, everyday saucepan work and gentle simmering. The Turbo burner is the standout feature, while the supplied cast-iron wok adapter adds useful support for round-bottomed cookware.
Controls and safety
The front-mounted metal rotary controls keep operation away from the cooking vessels and provide continuously adjustable flame control. Automatic one-handed ignition is integrated into each control knob, so no separate lighter or ignition button is required.
A thermoelectric flame-failure device cuts the gas supply if a flame is extinguished by a draught or spill. This is an important safety feature for a gas hob, although the ignition system still requires the specified electrical connection.
Cleaning and build quality
The two removable cast-iron pan supports provide a stable base for cookware and are dishwasher-safe according to the manufacturer. The cast-iron wok adapter is also included and can be used on the burners.
The gas-on-glass surface is relatively easy to wipe around the burners, but the raised supports and separate burner components require more handling than a flat induction surface. The brass burners and bronze controls also make cleaning an important part of maintaining the intended appearance.
Gas compatibility and efficiency
The Kaiser KCG 6335 RotEm Turbo gas hob is factory-set for natural gas and can be converted for LPG or propane using the supplied 30mbar and 50mbar nozzles. The official product datasheet reports gas cooking-surface efficiency of 53.20%.
The combination of gas cooking and electric ignition offers familiar flame control with convenient starting, but buyers must have suitable gas infrastructure and ensure that the installation complies with current UK requirements.
