PROFESSIONAL PLUS Series Cookers

The ILVE PROFESSIONAL PLUS series bridges the gap between a professional restaurant kitchen and a premium private or boutique kitchen space. Using a AISI304 stainless steel body and top-tier technology from the world of professional equipment, PROFESSIONAL PLUS delivers restaurant power and precision in the elegant design of a freestanding appliance. BHS supplies the ILVE PROFESSIONAL PLUS cooker collection.

AISI304 steel – restaurant-class durability

The most distinctive feature of the PROFESSIONAL PLUS series is its AISI304 steel body – the standard material in the manufacture of professional kitchen equipment for high-end restaurants worldwide. This material is chosen for its hygiene, resistance to heat, corrosion and acids, as well as ease of cleaning. AISI304 is not just an aesthetic choice – it ensures that the appliance will withstand intensive daily use and maintain its appearance for years. Frames, doors and panels made of AISI304 give the PROFESSIONAL PLUS an industrial aesthetic that is both elegant and functional.

Cooking surface and power options

In the gas PROFESSIONAL PLUS version, 4 to 8 burners are available in sizes from 30 to 60 inches – the largest models offer additional integration options with a top (coup de feu) surface for continuous heating or a grill surface for intensive grilling. The induction version is available in widths from 36 to 48 inches with up to 6 cooking zones and a bridge function for two wide containers in the 48-inch model. The appliance features a residual heat indicator, a booster function for rapid heating, slide control elements and a child safety lock. A liquid and overheating protection system ensures safe operation even under intensive use.

Hygiene and maintenance

AISI304 steel surfaces and panels in the PROFESSIONAL PLUS series provide the same hygiene standard used in commercial kitchens. The surface is easy to disinfect and resistant to frequently used cleaning agents. The induction cooking surface does not burn on, reducing cleaning time. Gas burners are removable for separate cleaning, and the oven interior is equipped with precise temperature control and easy-to-clean surfaces. Soft-closing doors and drawers protect the appliance from mechanical damage under intensive use.

Application scenarios

In boutique hotels with an open kitchen concept, the PROFESSIONAL PLUS serves both as the main cooking appliance and as a visual argument for the hotel’s premium positioning. In a restaurant with a showcase open kitchen, where guests see the chef’s work, the PROFESSIONAL PLUS industrial AISI304 aesthetic communicates with the professional kitchen environment. In a premium apartment project with a furnished kitchen, the PROFESSIONAL PLUS is the most compelling investment, immediately indicating the high class of the equipment. A catering company with a mobile or pop-up kitchen uses the PROFESSIONAL PLUS as a premium equipment signal. See also the NOSTALGIE Series Cookers and MAJESTIC Series Cookers.

Frequently asked questions

What is a top (coup de feu) and what is it used for? A top or coup de feu is a continuously heated steel plate with temperature zones – the centre is hotter, the edges cooler. It is used for sauces, broths and dishes that require slow, prolonged heating alongside other ingredients on the regular burners. In the PROFESSIONAL PLUS gas version, the top is available as an option for the larger models.

Can the PROFESSIONAL PLUS cooker be used with a double oven? Yes, the PROFESSIONAL PLUS series offers a double oven option with two independent baking compartments and separate temperature control in each. This allows cooking two different dishes at different temperatures simultaneously and is ideal for high-throughput kitchens. Consult BHS for the availability of a specific configuration.
