Häfele Altius FS 378 Built-in Hob
The Altius FS 378 uses a three-burner configuration across a 78 cm-wide cooking surface.
This width provides more spacing between cookware than many compact 60 cm hobs, making it easier to use multiple pans at the same time.
Häfele’s exact specification confirms two 4.0 kW wok burners together with a 1.5 kW dual-ring burner.
The two larger burners are suitable for high-heat cooking such as stir-frying, pressure cooking or heating large vessels, while the smaller burner is better suited to lighter cooking and simmering.

Fully Sealed Brass Burners
One of the strongest features of the Altius FS series is its fully sealed burner construction.
Häfele uses a sealing plate intended to prevent accidental food or liquid spills from entering the internal hob body. The burner injection jets are also positioned to reduce the risk of blockage from spills.
This design can make day-to-day cleaning easier and help protect internal components during intensive cooking.
The burners themselves are manufactured from full brass, a material valued for durability, heat retention and stable flame performance.
Häfele also positions the burners around focused flame output that directs heat more vertically beneath the cookware.
Powerful 4.0 kW Wok Burners
The Altius FS 378 is equipped with two 4.0 kW wok burners.
This high-output configuration is particularly useful for Indian kitchens where high-temperature frying, boiling and pressure cooking are common.
A stronger burner can bring larger vessels up to temperature faster, although actual gas consumption depends on flame setting, vessel size and cooking duration.
The 1.5 kW dual-ring burner provides a lower-output alternative for slower cooking.
Häfele’s current hob collection confirms that the Altius FS range supports burner output up to 4.0 kW.
Flame Failure Safety Device
All three burners are equipped with a Flame Failure Safety Device, or FFSD.
If a burner flame goes out unexpectedly—for example due to a spill or strong airflow—the FFSD is designed to stop the gas supply to that burner.
This is an important safety feature in a built-in gas hob because it helps reduce continued gas flow after accidental flame extinction.
FFSD should be viewed as an additional safety mechanism, not a replacement for correct installation, ventilation and normal gas-safety practices.
Electric Auto Ignition
The hob uses electric auto ignition, eliminating the need to manually use a lighter or match for normal burner ignition.
Häfele’s ignition pins include protective brass covers intended to improve durability.
Users simply operate the relevant control knob to initiate the ignition process.
A properly installed electrical connection and gas supply are required for reliable operation.
Professional installation is recommended, particularly because cut-out dimensions and gas connections need to match the countertop layout correctly.
Cast-Iron Pan Supports
The exact 78 cm Altius FS model uses cast-iron pan supports.
Cast iron provides a stable platform for cookware and is well suited to heavier pots, kadais and pressure cookers.
The pan supports help keep cookware correctly positioned over the burners during cooking.
Like other heavy pan supports, they should be lifted rather than dragged across the glass surface when cleaning to help avoid scratches.
8 mm Tempered Glass with Bevelled Edges
Häfele specifies an 8 mm tempered glass panel with bevelled edges for article 538.66.227.
The black glass surface gives the hob a premium built-in appearance and can be wiped down relatively easily after cooking once it has cooled.
The bevelled edge design also provides a more refined transition between the hob and surrounding countertop.
Although tempered glass is designed to handle normal hob operating conditions, users should still avoid dropping heavy cookware onto the surface.
Premium Gunmetal Metal Knobs
The control knobs use a gunmetal-finish metal construction with grooved edges.
Häfele states that the design provides improved grip and supports precise flame control.
The metal finish also complements the black glass top and premium built-in aesthetic.
Each burner is controlled independently, allowing users to adjust flame intensity according to different cookware and recipes.
78 cm Built-in Installation
The exact product dimensions are 780 × 450 mm, while the required countertop cut-out is 685 × 405 mm.
These measurements are important when planning the countertop opening.
The hob should not be installed based only on the nominal “78 cm” marketing size; installers should always use the official cut-out dimensions.
