FAQs
What type of gas does this hob use?
The Kaiser Empire Gas Hob is typically configured for natural gas. If you intend to use LPG (bottled gas), a conversion kit and professional adjustment will be required. Always consult the user manual or a qualified gas engineer for proper conversion.
Is professional installation required for this hob?
Yes, absolutely. For safety and compliance with regulations, the installation of any gas appliance, including this hob, must be carried out by a qualified and certified gas engineer.
How do I clean the bronze pan supports?
The bronze pan supports can be removed and washed in warm, soapy water. For tougher stains, use a non-abrasive cleaner suitable for metal finishes. Ensure they are completely dry before placing them back on the hob to prevent discoloration or marks.
Can I use cast iron cookware on this hob?
Yes, this gas hob is fully compatible with cast iron cookware, as well as stainless steel, copper, and other flat-bottomed pots and pans commonly used on gas cooktops. Its sturdy construction supports heavier cookware.
What if my kitchen is smaller? Is the 86cm hob suitable?
The 86cm width of this hob provides ample cooking space but requires a significant worktop cutout. While it offers great functionality, it may be less suitable for very compact kitchens where counter space is at a premium. Measure your available space carefully before purchase.
Does this hob come with a warranty?
Info needed: [Warranty details are not provided in the product information. Please refer to your retailer or the manufacturer's official website for specific warranty terms and conditions.]
Troubleshooting
Burner will not ignite
First, check if the main gas supply valve is open. Ensure the burner cap and crown are correctly positioned and dry. Clean any food debris around the igniter electrode. Hold the control knob down firmly for a few seconds after turning to allow gas to flow and the igniter to spark.
Flame is weak, uneven, or yellow
A weak or uneven flame usually indicates a partially blocked burner port or a misaligned burner cap/crown. Allow the hob to cool, then remove and thoroughly clean the burner components. Ensure there is no debris blocking the gas outlets. If the flame is yellow, it may indicate improper air/gas mixture; contact a qualified gas engineer for adjustment.
Smelling gas near the hob
Immediately turn off all hob burners and the main gas supply. Open windows and doors to ventilate the area. Do not operate any electrical switches or devices. Contact a qualified gas engineer or your gas supplier immediately. Evacuate the premises if the smell is strong or persistent.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Professional Installation: Due to its gas nature, installation must be performed by a qualified and certified gas engineer. This ensures safety, proper connection to your gas supply, and compliance with local regulations.
- Worktop Cutout: Ensure your kitchen worktop has a suitable cutout size to accommodate the 86cm width of the hob. Refer to the detailed dimensions in your product manual before installation.
- Ventilation: Adequate ventilation is crucial when using gas appliances. Ensure your kitchen has a functioning extractor fan or appropriate airflow.
Compatibility
- Gas Type: The hob is typically configured for natural gas. If you intend to use LPG (bottled gas), a conversion kit is required, and the adjustment must be carried out by a qualified gas engineer.
- Cookware: Compatible with all types of cookware suitable for gas hobs, including stainless steel, cast iron, copper, and ceramic, provided they have a flat base.
Care
- Daily Cleaning: After each use, allow the hob to cool completely. Wipe down the black surface with a soft cloth dampened with mild detergent to remove spills and grease.
- Burner Components: Regularly remove burner caps and crowns for cleaning. Wash them in warm, soapy water, rinse thoroughly, and ensure they are completely dry before placing them back on the hob. Clogged burners can affect performance.
- Pan Supports: The bronze pan supports can be removed and cleaned with warm, soapy water. For stubborn stains, a non-abrasive cleaner safe for metal finishes can be used. Ensure they are dry before replacing.
- Avoid Abrasives: Do not use abrasive cleaners, scourers, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish and bronze accents.
