FAQs
What type of gas does this hob use?
The hob is preset for mains gas. However, it includes nozzles for 30 mbar and 50 mbar LPG (liquid petroleum gas) or propane installations, making it adaptable to different gas supplies.
Are the cast iron supports dishwasher safe?
Yes, the sturdy cast iron supports are removable and fully dishwasher-safe, making cleanup very convenient.
How does the automatic ignition work?
Simply press and turn the control knob for the desired burner. This action releases gas and simultaneously creates a spark, igniting the burner automatically without the need for matches or a separate lighter.
What is the purpose of the flame failure safety device?
The flame failure safety device is a crucial safety feature that automatically cuts off the gas supply to a burner if its flame accidentally extinguishes. This prevents unburnt gas from escaping into your kitchen.
Can I use a wok on this hob?
Yes, a wok adapter is included. It is best utilized on the powerful triple Turbo burner, but can be used on any burner with the adapter for versatile stir-frying.
What are the dimensions for installation?
The cutout dimensions required for installation are approximately 55 cm in width and 47 cm in depth. The overall dimensions of the hob are H:5.0 x W:55.0 x D:47.0 cm.
How long is the guarantee?
The Kaiser Empire KG 6325 ElfEm Turbo Gas Hob comes with a 2-year guarantee.
Troubleshooting
Burner won't ignite or flame is weak.
Check if the gas supply is turned on. Ensure burner caps and crowns are clean and correctly seated. If using LPG/propane, verify correct nozzle installation. If the issue persists, contact a qualified gas technician.
Flame extinguishes unexpectedly during cooking.
This indicates the flame failure safety device is activating. Ensure the burner cap and crown are correctly positioned. Clean the thermocouple sensor near the burner thoroughly to remove any debris that might be blocking it. If the issue continues, contact service.
Stains or discolouration on the enamelled cooktop.
Clean spills immediately after the hob has cooled down. For tougher stains, use a non-abrasive cream cleaner specifically designed for enamel surfaces. Avoid harsh chemicals or steel wool pads, which can damage the finish.

Care
Maintaining your Kaiser Empire Gas Hob is straightforward:
