ILVE Professional Plus Gas Hob with Cast Iron Supports

A gas hob built for continuous service in professional kitchens, the ILVE Professional Plus HCPT95D delivers instant, precise flame control across four distinct burner zones. Gas is drawn from the supply, metered through brass valves and ignited electrically at each port. The flame heats the base of the pan directly, transferring energy without the lag of an intermediate element. By adjusting the valve, the operator sets the flame from a gentle simmer to a full rolling boil, matching the demand of each dish without overshooting or cycling on and off. The sequence begins by placing a pan on the cast iron supports. The electric ignition button is pressed, sparking the gas at the selected burner. The safety valve opens only when a flame is detected, shutting off the gas if the flame extinguishes. Once lit, the flame is adjusted with the control knob, which moves the valve smoothly through its range. After cooking, the knob is turned to the off position, cutting the gas and extinguishing the flame. The pan is then lifted from the supports, leaving the hob ready for the next task. Construction centres on a pressed-steel frame clad in stainless steel. Cast iron pan supports sit above the burners, distributing weight and resisting the heat of repeated use. Each burner cap is brass, chosen for its thermal conductivity and durability, and is coated with a non-stick nanotechnological treatment that reduces carbon build-up. The hob measures 900 mm across the worktop and 532 mm front to back, fitting standard kitchen runs without overhang. Controls consist of four rotary knobs, one for each burner. Each knob sets the gas flow from off through simmer to full power, with no fixed detents, allowing the operator to dial in the exact flame required. The electric ignition is integrated into the knob, eliminating the need for a separate button. The power ratings—4.5 kW for the 120 mm dual burner, 3 kW for each 90 mm burner and 1.8 kW for each 60 mm burner—determine the maximum load on the gas supply. A kitchen must provide sufficient pressure and volume to sustain all burners at full output simultaneously. The 900 mm width dictates the space the hob occupies on the worktop, while the 532 mm depth leaves room for a backsplash or additional equipment behind it. The nanotechnological treatment on the brass burner caps lets grease and spatter wipe away without scrubbing, so the cast iron supports stay free of baked-on residue between services. The stainless steel surface is wiped with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Cast iron supports are removed and washed separately, then dried to prevent rust. Brass burner caps are lifted off and cleaned with a soft brush to remove carbon deposits, taking care not to scratch the nanotechnological coating. The hob itself requires no disassembly beyond removing the supports and caps, and no special tools are needed. The HCPT95D is a single model with no variants or options. It is positioned in the ILVE professional range as a worktop gas hob for medium to large kitchens.
