Bertazzoni Cooktops & Rangetops

Bertazzoni Cooktops & Rangetops at Plesser's Appliances

Bertazzoni cooktops and rangetops, available at Plesser's Appliances, put the brand's Italian-engineered cooking surface into a countertop or cabinet installation, freeing the oven to sit at working height elsewhere. Built in Emilia-Romagna since 1882, the lineup spans gas, induction, and electric cooktops plus gas rangetops.

Cooktop vs. Rangetop: The Key Distinction
A cooktop drops into a countertop cutout and sits shallow, preserving drawer or cabinet space below. A rangetop is a deeper, taller unit with professional control depth and typically higher output, installed above a cabinet run rather than into a counter. This determines the cabinetry design — settle it before millwork.

Sealed Brass Burners on Gas Models
Gas cooktops and rangetops use sealed brass burners, which keep spills on the surface rather than dropping into a burner box, and deliver output at the high end of residential. Continuous grates let cookware slide across the surface instead of lifting between burners. Confirm burner count, output, and grate configuration for your width.

Induction and Electric Options
Induction responds faster than gas, holds low settings without cycling, and wipes clean as a flat glass surface — but requires magnetic cookware and substantial dedicated 240V service. Electric ceramic cooktops offer a flat surface at lower electrical demand. Confirm element layout and any power-sharing between zones on the spec sheet.

Rangetop Configuration Options
Gas rangetops offer the deepest surface configuration choice, including griddle options in combination with burners, with layouts varying by width. Because configuration is fixed at the factory, this is an order-time decision. Confirm which combinations exist in your chosen width.

Cutout, Clearance, and Ventilation Planning
Cutout dimensions, countertop overhang, clearance to combustibles, and cabinet requirements below differ between cooktops and rangetops and between widths. Ventilation should be sized to surface output rather than chosen afterward. Talk to the team at Plesser's Appliances about cutout specs, gas or electrical requirements, and hood sizing before the countertop is templated.
