Expert chef features, designed especially for you.
Are you expert chefs? Or have you just started to learn how to cook? No matter your level of expertise in the kitchen, we offer state-of-the-art equipment that is very easy to use. Some examples: with Lhov you can combine traditional cooking with steam-cooking; our ovens will allow you to experience traditional cooking with steam or microwave cooking as well as to check the moisture of dishes (in order to make them drier or juicier, according to your tastes). Our hobs are also equipped with Melting, Warming and Simmering features to melt butter and chocolate, warm up custards, simmer vegetables or soups, so you don't have to always be there to prevent things from burning or boiling over. And that's not all: the automatic features of our cooking consoles, hobs, ovens and small wine coolers, ensure excellent cooking results and perfect wine storage.
YouChef™ nella collezione Elica
Perfect Heat
Your oven will maintain the heat at a stable temperature, maximising efficiency and performance thanks to the well -structured and insulated oven cavity. Need to prepare a quick pizza? High temperature is just what you need.
Moisture Control
Choose between moist or dry cooking, it will hold back or remove any vapours produced inside your oven cavity.
Food Probe
You can now monitor the internal temperature in each and every preparation with this temperature probe. No more heat dispersal. You can now monitor your cooking times more accurately and not have to open the oven door.
Combi Functions
The traditional oven matches with the wellness of steam-cooking and the user-friendliness of the microwave oven. At long last, finally together, isn’t that gorgeous?
Sliding guides
The telescopic guide slides smoothly in the oven cavity; you can now take out or put in the baking trays easily. Even the heavier ones
Soft Closing
Thanks to the smooth movement of the hinges, closing the oven door is light and soundless. Try it out and see for yourself!
Microwave
Super quick cooking, heating or defrosting with the aid of the microwave oven. By now a must.
Steam
This cooking mode will exalt the taste and nutritive properties of all your recipes: vegetables, meat, fish, bread. Crispy outside and juicy inside.
Cooking Flow
Switching over from lively boiling cooking to maintaining your food warm is now easy. Simply move the pot from one cooking zone to another. Each zone will activate the pre-set power when it detects the presence of a pot.
Warming Mode
Conceived for slower cooking preparations, ideal when warming up milk or broths, for the preparation of custards or sauces preventing them to overheat and keeping your prepared food warm.
Simmering Mode
You can simmer your food for longer. No more excessive boiling or spilling over from your pots. No more tough food or burnt pans or saucepans!
Melting Mode
Tired of melting the butter and chocolate and having to stir them continually or burning them? The secret? Keeping the temperature always below 50°, this will never happen again.
Extralarge Zone
This cooking zone is the solution for large-sized pots measuring up to 30 cm in diameter. A great way when you need to cook quickly: more powerful than any traditional induction hobs.
Bridge Zone
Having problems with oval-shaped or bigger-sized pots? This function transforms two cooking zones into a bigger size one, ensuring you the same power level and constant temperature for a homogeneous cooking
Fast Boiling
It is the solution for quick recipes. Just with a gesture, set the maximum power for 10 minutes and voilà, boiling point will be reached in 30% less time than it normally does.
Dual Zone
Two concentric zones on your hob can be activated independently. The central one for the smaller pans and both for the bigger pans.
Pot Self Detection
The technology automatically detects the presence of pots in the cooking zone, activating a dedicated control. All you need to do is to select the power needed.
Timer
All you need to do is set the minutes and the countdown starts. At the end, it will automatically switch the cooking zone off, emitting a sound signal. Just press the ‘touch’ control and independent timers will activate in more zones at the same time.
Green Induction
Power management is now smart, to obtain excellent results even on middle power levels (especially when wanting to keep the cooking constant). Reaching boiling point only takes a few minutes and will save you about 25% of the energy as compared to standard induction hobs.
Multi Flexi Space
Too many large pots on the hob? There’s enough space. You don’t want to lift them? Just slide them away along the closed-cross oven grids, on their flat and continuous surface. And to top it all, the useful and handy support surface in cast iron for your every necessity.
Stop&Go
Need to move away from the kitchen while you are cooking? Just by a gesture, put all the functions activated on standby. All you need to do is just press a key to start them again with previous settings.
Recall
The hob has accidentally switched off ? Within 6 seconds just activate this function and all the previous settings before the interruption occurred, will work again in the wink of an eye.
Tasty Fry
Cooking times have been reduced to half the time with the induction system, that allows the oil to reach the ideal frying temperature (180°). No more oily or greasy food. It will absorb less oil and be more crunchier and healthier.
Temperature Control
The internal temperature can be set between 5°C and 20°C. The electronic and ventilation system will keep it constant. Your wine is now perfectly stored and will mature properly.
Lighting Care
A UV filter-proof look- through glass will perfectly store your LED illuminated bottles. Your wine will now maintain all of its organoleptic qualities and characteristics.
Humidity Care
The ventilation system monitors the internal humidity and prevents your wine from oxidising, for moulds to form or bad odours to be given off.
No vibration
The wooden oak shelves and the stable cooling system prevent micro-vibrations that could alter the balance in the composition of the wine. With the sliding guides you can take out the bottles in a safe and easy way.
Bi-Zone
A divider separates the white from the red wine so that it can be better stored. Each section of the wine cooler ensures optimum temperature of conservation and tasting.
