Where to buy the Kaiser KG 9325 ElfEm Turbo hob
🏆 Review & price summary
The Kaiser KG 9325 ElfEm Turbo gas hob is built for cooks who want generous pan space, traditional styling and the responsiveness of gas. Its five-burner layout includes a 3.8kW triple-circle Turbo burner, a supplied wok adapter, front-mounted ignition and flame-failure protection. The main compromises are the unusually wide installation size, the need for gas and electrical connections, and the more involved cleaning associated with enamel and cast iron.
✓ Key strengths
- ✓ Useful room for simultaneous cooking
- ✓ 3.8kW triple-circle Turbo burner is well suited to high-heat cooking and wok use
- ✓ Front-mounted controls, automatic ignition and flame-failure protection are practical everyday features
- ✓ LPG and propane conversion nozzles are supplied
- ✓ Simplify maintenance
- ✓ Cast-iron wok adapter is included
Worth considering
- The 86cm width and 75cm-wide cut-out need more worktop space than a standard 60cm hob
- It is gas-only, so installation requires a suitable gas connection and adequate kitchen ventilation or a separate cooker hood
- And separate burner parts create more cleaning gaps than a flat glass induction hob
- Automatic ignition still requires a 230V electrical supply despite the hob using gas for cooking

Design and burner layout
The Kaiser KG 9325 ElfEm Turbo gas hob is a wide built-in model with an 86cm footprint, five burners and an ivory enamelled cooking surface. Its traditional styling, bronze metal detailing and antique-brass control knobs suit kitchens where a period-inspired appearance matters as much as cooking capacity.
The burner arrangement is practical for family cooking: there is a 3.8kW triple-circle Turbo burner, a 3kW large burner, two 1.75kW standard burners and a 1kW economy burner. That gives useful separation between high-heat, general-purpose and low-output cooking.
Cooking performance and controls
The triple-circle Turbo burner is the standout feature, providing the highest output in the range and working with the included cast-iron wok adapter. The large burner is also suitable for bigger pans, while the two standard burners and economy burner cover everyday simmering and smaller cookware.
Front-mounted rotary controls keep operation away from the burners. Each burner has one-handed automatic pilotless ignition, so the hob does not require matches or a separate lighter during normal use.
Installation and safety
The Kaiser KG 9325 ElfEm Turbo gas hob is factory-set for natural gas and includes nozzles for 30mbar and 50mbar LPG or propane conversion. Gas connection and conversion should be handled by a qualified technician, and the installation requires a 75cm-wide by 47cm-deep cut-out within the 86cm appliance width.
A thermo-sensor flame-failure device is included and is designed to shut off the gas supply if a flame goes out unexpectedly. Because this is a gas appliance, the kitchen still needs suitable ventilation or a separate cooker hood; the hob has no integrated extraction system.
Cleaning and everyday ownership
The removable cast-iron pan supports provide a stable base for heavier cookware and are listed as dishwasher-safe. The supplied wok adapter is also made from cast iron, adding useful flexibility for wok cooking.
The trade-off is that the enamelled top, separate supports and burner components need more careful cleaning around their edges and gaps than a flat glass induction surface. Automatic ignition also means that, despite being gas-powered, the hob requires a 230V electrical supply.
