Ilve Gas Cooktops

Ilve Gas Cooktops at Plesser's Appliances

Ilve gas cooktops, available at Plesser's Appliances, drop into a countertop cutout with cabinetry or drawers below, bringing sealed brass burner performance to a surface-only installation. Offered in multiple widths and burner counts with heavy cast iron grates.

Sealed Brass Burners
Sealed brass burners deliver high output for searing and fast boiling alongside low settings controlled enough for real simmering. Brass conducts and holds heat differently than steel burners, and sealed construction keeps spills on the cooktop surface rather than dropping into a burner box below. Confirm burner count and output for your width.

Heavy Cast Iron Grates
Cast iron grates take daily use without warping and lift out for cleaning, with continuous designs letting cookware slide across the full surface rather than lifting between burners. Grate design affects how the cooktop works with large pans and stockpots more than burner count does, so confirm the configuration for your model.

Cabinetry Freedom Below
Because a cooktop is shallow relative to a rangetop, usable drawers or cabinet space stay available directly beneath it, a meaningful gain in a smaller kitchen. It also separates the cooking surface from the oven, so the oven can go into a wall stack at a comfortable height rather than at floor level.

Controls and Finish
Front-mounted knobs give control feedback you can feel and operate with wet hands, with electronic ignition eliminating pilot lights. Knob and trim finish options including chrome and brass are a visible part of the countertop, so coordinate with adjacent Ilve equipment at order.

Cutout, Clearance, and Ventilation Planning
Cutout dimensions, countertop overhang, clearance to combustibles, and cabinet depth below vary by model and are not interchangeable between widths. Natural gas and LP configurations differ. Ventilation should be sized to total burner output. Talk to the team at Plesser's Appliances about cutout specs, gas supply, and hood sizing before the countertop is templated.
