Where to buy the Kaiser KCT 6715 F W hob
🏆 Review & price summary
The Kaiser KCT 6715 F W Grand Chef 59cm Ceramic Hob is a built-in white radiant ceramic hob with four QuickHeat zones, including one triple zone and one extendable oval zone. Its Power-Slide controls, 0–99-minute timer, automatic simmer control, child lock and four residual-heat displays give it a useful feature set, although it remains slower to respond than induction and has no linked flex zone.
✓ Key strengths
- ✓ A 23cm triple zone and a 27cm extendable oval zone for different pan sizes
- ✓ Direct slider-style heat adjustment
- ✓ Automatic precise simmer control can reduce the selected temperature after initial heating
- ✓ A 0–99-minute zone timer, child lock and four residual-heat indicators add useful everyday control and safety features
Worth considering
- Pan detection or an induction-style cool cooking surface
- There is no linked bridge or flex zone; the 27cm oval and 23cm triple area remain separate expandable cooking zones
- The 6.7kW total connection rating makes this a relatively demanding appliance for kitchens with limited electrical capacity
- Only two of the four zones are expandable, so large-pan flexibility is more limited than on layouts offering several large or linked zones

Who Should Buy It?
- ✓ The Kaiser KCT 6715 F W is a built-in 59cm ceramic hob for kitchens that want a white, frameless cooking surface rather than a conventional black glass finish.
- ✓ A good fit for households using a mixture of small, standard and larger pans, because the triple zone supports 12cm, 17.5cm and 23cm cookware while the extendable zone reaches 27cm.
- ✓ The Kaiser KCT 6715 F W suits buyers who prefer slider-style touch controls, automatic simmer control, a timer and clear residual-heat indicators.
- ✓ Its standard 56cm by 49cm cut-out makes it appropriate for replacing many existing full-width built-in hobs, subject to checking the worktop and electrical requirements.

Design and installation
The Kaiser KCT 6715 F W Grand Chef 59cm Ceramic Hob is a built-in electric ceramic hob with a white, frameless, bevelled glass surface. The one-piece top has a clean appearance and should be straightforward to wipe down because there are no raised pan supports or burner caps.
The hob measures 59cm wide and 52cm deep, with a manufacturer-specified height of 6.2cm. Its required cut-out is 56cm by 49cm, so existing worktop dimensions should be checked carefully before installation. The 6.7kW total connection load also means the electrical provision needs to be suitable and installation should be carried out by a qualified person.
Cooking zones and performance
This is a radiant ceramic model rather than an induction hob. It has four QuickHeat zones: two 16cm standard elements, one triple zone adjustable to 12cm, 17.5cm or 23cm, and one extendable zone that can be used at 14cm or as a 27cm oval area.
The layout is flexible for everyday cooking and is particularly useful when pan sizes vary. The triple and extendable zones provide more practical coverage than four fixed small rings, although the hob does not provide a linked bridge or true flex zone for combining two areas into one large cooking surface.
Radiant ceramic heating is familiar and compatible with ordinary flat-based pans, but it generally reacts less quickly to temperature changes than induction and does not provide induction-style pan detection.
Controls and safety
The front-mounted Power-Slide sensor control allows the heat level to be adjusted by sliding rather than repeatedly pressing a button. The manufacturer also specifies automatic temperature control, described as precise simmer control, which reduces the selected heat after the zone has initially warmed up.
A built-in timer can be set from 0 to 99 minutes for an individual cooking zone, after which the programmed zone switches off automatically. The timer can also operate as a minute counter when it is not assigned to a zone.
Safety equipment includes a child lock and four separate residual-heat indicators. The manual states that the heat display remains active while the zone is still hot and switches off below 60°C, providing a useful visual reminder after cooking.
Energy use and ownership
The official product information gives a 230V, 50Hz electrical supply and a total connection rating of 6.7kW. The energy product sheet records 194.645Wh/kg for the cooking surface, although real-world consumption will depend on pan size, cooking time, heat level and use of residual heat.
The smooth ceramic top, automatic simmer control and residual-heat warning support practical day-to-day use. However, this remains a relatively high-load ceramic appliance and its radiant technology is less responsive than induction, so buyers prioritising the quickest heat changes or the lowest cooking losses may prefer an induction alternative.
