Best of both worlds: Ilve Fusion cooktop
Ilve
Combining an innovative downdraft hood with a four-zone induction cooktop this revolutionary appliance is an ideal choice for a sleek, minimalist kitchen.
With more than sixty years of heritage, ILVE continues to constantly innovate and challenge the status quo in kitchen design. Living proof of this ethos is ILVE’s latest cooktop, Fusion, which combines an integrated downdraft hood and a cooktop in one appliance.
First and foremost, this high-powered appliance is an induction cooktop, with four electronic cooking zones. Made from ceramic glass, it is decidedly stylish and designed to be an impressive addition to an island bench-style kitchen or to a kitchen where a statement rangehood wouldn’t work.
The features of Fusion are numerous, but its most inventive attribute is the powerful built-in downdraft hood. When not in use, the hood is completely hidden, making it an ideal choice for a sleek, minimalist aesthetic. With a simple tap of the black aluminium push-in catch panel, the hood is exposed. Unlike a conventional rangehood, it then pulls steam and odour down and in.
The 90 cm cooktop and hood has nine power levels all operated by a touch control system. It also boasts a European energy rating of A+++, which is the highest energy consumption rating available.
Furthermore, ILVE’s Fusion cooktop incorporates comprehensive safety measures. An inner tray catches all spills and condensation, with an electronic sensor indicating when it is ready to be emptied. When draining this excess liquid, a sensor completely shuts off the motor to prevent water from coming into contact with the fan.
The hood’s filters are removable and dishwasher safe, with an alarm signalling when they need to be cleaned. ILVE
