Where to buy the Kaiser KCG 6394 W Turbo hob
🏆 Review & price summary
The Kaiser KCG 6394 W Turbo Romb is a white 60cm gas-on-glass hob with four burners, including a 3.8kW triple Turbo burner for high-heat cooking and wok use. It adds front-mounted metal controls, automatic ignition, flame-failure protection, dishwasher-safe cast-iron supports and LPG/propane conversion capability. Its four-burner layout is practical for most kitchens, but buyers needing five cooking zones, induction-style flexibility or integrated extraction should look elsewhere.

Burner layout and cooking performance
The Kaiser KCG 6394 W Turbo Romb is a 60cm built-in gas hob with four burners: a 3.8kW triple Turbo burner, a 3.0kW large burner, a 1.75kW standard burner and a 1.0kW economy burner. That gives it a useful spread of outputs, from gentle low-heat cooking to fast boiling and high-heat frying.
The triple Turbo burner is the main performance feature. It has a 13cm diameter and is supplied with a cast-iron wok adapter, making the hob particularly suitable for stir-frying and larger pans. The layout is more open than a conventional square arrangement, although the four-burner format still offers less total capacity than a five-burner hob.
Controls, ignition and safety
Metal rotary knobs are positioned at the front, so the controls are accessible without reaching across the burners. Each knob provides one-handed automatic ignition, removing the need for matches or a separate lighter.
The thermo-electric flame-failure device shuts off the gas supply if a flame is extinguished by a draught or spill. This is a useful safety feature, although the hob still needs to be installed and connected by a qualified professional in line with the manual.
Cleaning and day-to-day practicality
The white glass surface with a front bevel gives the a clean, contemporary appearance. Its three removable cast-iron pan supports are dishwasher-safe, while the supplied wok adapter is also made from cast iron. The supports should provide a stable base for cookware, though cast iron is heavier to remove and handle than lightweight wire supports.
The hob is factory-set for natural gas but can be converted for LPG or propane using the supplied 30mbar and 50mbar nozzles. A 220–240V electrical supply is also specified because the ignition system is electric, so this is not a gas-only installation.
Installation and efficiency
The appliance measures 60 × 51 × 5.5cm, with a specified worktop cut-out of 56 × 49cm. Buyers should check the available aperture, gas connection and electrical provision before ordering. As a gas hob, it also produces combustion products and requires adequate kitchen ventilation or a suitable cooker hood.
The official product data sheet gives the gas cooking surface an efficiency figure of 52.65%. That is useful for comparison, but this is still a conventional gas hob rather than an induction model with a flex zone or integrated extraction.
