These cookers are designed to meet the needs of modern home chefs, featuring a combination of advanced cooking technologies, ease of use, and distinctive aesthetics.

Both models come equipped with a dual-fuel system, allowing for gas cooking on the hob combined with an electric oven, providing the best of both worlds. The gas burners are designed for efficient heat distribution, enabling rapid cooking times and precise temperature control.
