The Häfele Augusta 378 Built-in Hob is a premium three-burner gas hob from Häfele’s Augusta range, designed for contemporary kitchens that require powerful cooking performance, reliable safety and a clean built-in appearance. Its 78 cm wide, 8 mm tempered black glass surface provides generous cookware space, while three full-brass burners offer different heat outputs for boiling, frying, pressure cooking and gentle simmering. Häfele also integrates electric auto ignition, cast-iron pan supports, spill protection and Flame Failure Safety Devices on the burners. Customers planning a complete modular kitchen can compare other models in Nikshan Electronics’ built-in hob and cooktop collection or browse the wider Häfele product range.
Häfele Augusta 378 Built-in Hob
The Augusta 378 uses a three-burner layout across a 78 cm glass surface, giving users enough spacing to work with multiple cookware sizes simultaneously.
The official burner arrangement consists of two 3.0 kW triple-ring burners and one 1.7 kW dual-ring burner.
The two higher-output burners are suitable for tasks that need stronger heat, such as boiling larger quantities, stir-frying and heating heavy cookware. The 1.7 kW burner offers a more moderate heat output for sauces, simmering and smaller vessels.
This arrangement provides greater flexibility than a hob where all burners have identical output.

4th Generation Full Brass Burners
Häfele identifies the Augusta burner system as 4th Generation Brass Burners with Direct Flame.
Brass is valued in gas burners for durability and resistance to repeated high-temperature cooking cycles.
The direct-flame design focuses heat toward the cookware base rather than unnecessarily spreading flame around the sides of the vessel.
This can support more controlled everyday cooking when the appropriate burner is matched to the cookware size.
Regular cleaning of burner ports remains important because spilled food and grease can affect flame quality over time.
8 mm Tempered Black Glass
The hob uses an 8 mm tempered glass cooking surface.
The black glass panel gives the Augusta 378 a clean built-in appearance that integrates well with granite, quartz and other modern countertop materials.
Tempered glass also provides a smooth surface that is relatively straightforward to wipe after cooking.
Users should allow the hob to cool before cleaning and avoid harsh impacts or excessively abrasive cleaners.
The glass should not be described as unbreakable; like all glass appliances, correct installation and normal handling remain important.
Flame Failure Safety Device
A major safety feature of the Augusta range is the Flame Failure Safety Device, or FFSD, fitted to each burner.
If a flame goes out unexpectedly—for example because of a spill or strong draught—the safety valve is designed to stop the gas supply to that burner.
This reduces the risk of unburned gas continuing to flow into the kitchen.
The system adds an important layer of protection but does not replace normal gas-safety practices, correct ventilation or periodic appliance inspection.
Electric Auto Ignition
The Augusta 378 includes electric auto ignition, eliminating the need to use a separate lighter for normal burner ignition.
The ignition system activates as the control knob is operated, helping simplify daily cooking.
Auto ignition is particularly convenient in a built-in hob because the controls and burner system work together as an integrated unit.
The electrical supply and gas installation should be completed by a qualified installer according to Häfele’s instructions.
Cast Iron Pan Supports
Häfele uses cast-iron pan supports on the Augusta 378.
Their substantial construction provides a stable platform for different cookware sizes and helps reduce wobbling while stirring or turning food.
This is especially useful with heavier cookware such as kadais, pressure cookers and large-bottom vessels.
Pan supports should be positioned correctly after cleaning to ensure cookware remains stable.
Spill-Proof Design
The Augusta range incorporates a spill-proof design intended to reduce the amount of liquid that can enter internal hob components.
This can simplify cleaning after milk, curry or other liquids boil over.
Spills should still be cleaned once the appliance has cooled, as dried food residue can become more difficult to remove later.
The smooth glass surface and protected burner areas make routine maintenance simpler than leaving spills exposed to internal components.
Heat-Resistant Knobs
Häfele lists heat-resistant control knobs for the Augusta range.
The knobs allow users to control burner flame output while helping reduce excessive heat transfer to the operating surface.
Users should still keep oversized cookware positioned correctly so that flames and hot vessel surfaces do not extend unnecessarily toward the control area.
Installation Dimensions
The exact official product dimensions are 780 × 450 × 130 mm (W × D × H). The countertop requires a 685 × 405 mm cut-out.
The cut-out dimension is particularly important when planning a new modular-kitchen countertop.
Customers replacing an older built-in hob should verify the existing cut-out rather than assuming that all 78 cm hobs use identical openings.
Professional installation is recommended for gas connection, ignition wiring and final leak testing.
