Where to buy the Kaiser KCT 6730 FIG hob
🏆 Review & price summary
The Kaiser KCT 6730 FIG is a built-in 59cm induction hob designed around flexible pan placement. Its two Free-Zone areas can operate as larger 200 × 400mm areas or as smaller 200 × 200mm sections, while four boosted induction zones provide fast everyday heating. Power Slide touch control, individual timers, automatic temperature control and keep-warm operation make it versatile for routine cooking. The main limitations are the four-zone layout, the specific 56 × 49cm cut-out and the 7kW electrical load.
✓ Key strengths
- ✓ Larger cookware and more adaptable pan placement
- ✓ Power Boost for faster heating
- ✓ Power Slide touch control and an LED display allow direct heat adjustment
- ✓ Its own timer or minute-counter function
- ✓ Keep-warm, automatic temperature control, child lock and residual-heat indicators add useful everyday functionality
Worth considering
- Less simultaneous cooking capacity than five-zone induction hobs
- The 7kW total connected load is more demanding than lower-powered alternatives and requires electrical compatibility to be checked during installation
- The specified 56 × 49cm cut-out means it is not a universal drop-in replacement for every existing hob
- Less usable width for exceptionally large cookware than wider hobs

Kaiser's official regional pages publish different individual-zone wattage figures for this model. The consistent specifications—four induction zones, two flexible Free-Zone areas, 59cm width and 7kW total power—are used here.
Design and installation
The Kaiser KCT 6730 FIG is a 59cm built-in induction hob with a grey glass-ceramic surface, bevelled edges and a flat frameless design. Its overall dimensions are 59 × 52 × 5.5cm, with a specified cut-out of 56 × 49cm.
The glass surface should be straightforward to wipe clean, while the compact standard-width format suits many fitted kitchens. Installation and electrical connection should be completed by a qualified professional, as the hob has a 7kW total connected load.
Cooking flexibility
Four QuickHeat induction zones provide the main cooking capacity, with Power Boost available across all four zones. The two flexible Free-Zone areas can each operate as a 200 × 400mm combined area or as two 200 × 200mm sections, giving more freedom over pan positioning than fixed circular rings.
The flexible layout is particularly useful for large rectangular cookware or several smaller pans. It remains a four-zone hob, however, so it offers less simultaneous cooking capacity than five-zone alternatives.
Controls and everyday use
Full electronic touch controls are combined with Power Slide adjustment and an LED display. This should make it easy to alter heat levels without reaching for rotary controls, while the individual timer or minute-counter function is available for each cooking zone.
The hob also provides automatic temperature control, precise simmer management and a keep-warm function. These features are useful when a dish needs to hold at a controlled temperature rather than continue cooking at full power.
Safety, cleaning and efficiency
Safety features include an electronic child lock, four separate residual-heat indicators and Kaiser’s Safety Guard automatic shut-off system. The residual-heat indicators remain active until the relevant zone has cooled sufficiently, helping identify hot areas after cooking.
Kaiser lists a weighted cooking-surface energy consumption of 194.15Wh/kg in the official product data. Induction heating and cookware detection can help concentrate heat beneath the pan, although the 7kW maximum connection makes electrical compatibility an important installation consideration.
Overall assessment
The Kaiser KCT 6730 FIG combines a useful flexible-zone layout with a broad set of cooking controls and safety functions. Its main strengths are the two adaptable cooking areas, four boosted induction zones and per-zone timer controls.
The principal compromises are its four-zone capacity, the need for a specific 56 × 49cm cut-out and the relatively substantial electrical connection requirement. It is best suited to a planned built-in installation rather than an automatic replacement for every existing hob.
