Meet Sofia: Inside Our Professional Range Collection

← All articles

Sofia is a solid, generously sized freestanding range with a clean and rigorous style, designed, developed and engineered in Italy. She is the centrepiece of our Professional collection and, for many of our owners, the centrepiece of the kitchen.

Sofia is available in gas, dual fuel and induction configurations from 30 to 48 inches.

The cooking surface

Every Sofia burner position carries a 5-in-1 Crescendo burner beneath heavy-duty cast iron grates that form a continuous surface, so pots and pans move freely across the entire cooktop.

That word every is the design decision worth pausing on. Many professional ranges tier their burners — one high-output position, the rest ordinary. Sofia doesn't. Sear at the back left, simmer at the front right, or the reverse. The surface never dictates where you cook.

Durable brass burner rings provide exceptional heat distribution with a maximum output of 20,000 BTU — and, aided by an oversized burner cap, they are equally capable of the gentlest simmer.

On our 48-inch ranges and the 36-inch griddle configuration, a trilaminate stainless steel griddle with a tubular gas burner rated 11,500 BTU high to 2,000 BTU low adds another dimension to the surface.

The heart of Sofia is her oven

Sofia's oven features dual convection, commercial-style racks, multi-level lighting and a full-extension rack on stainless glides. The Nova Broiler system sears meat and fish with intense heat, and the large broiling area combined with our ventilation design allows closed-door broiling for constant, even cooking.

The temperature range runs from 80°F to 550°F, adjustable in 5-degree increments. At the low end that is true proofing territory; at the top, high-heat roasting and pizza. Five degrees sounds like a small unit of control until you are holding a sourdough starter or finishing a delicate custard.

Four panes of oven glass hold cavity temperature within a tight tolerance, which means the oven preheats faster and recovers faster when the door opens — and the outer surface stays cool to the touch.

Soft-closing doors, a black porcelain enamel interior, concealed bake elements and an extra-large baking cavity and viewing area complete the specification.

Choose your configuration

On the 48-inch dual fuel range, six Crescendo burners deliver two at 20,000 BTU and four at 18,000 BTU on natural gas, and both ovens are self-cleaning — Dual True Convection in the main oven, True Convection in the accessory oven, with three halogen lights above and two below.

Built to be cleaned

A one-piece matte-finish porcelain burner bowl sits beneath the grates, with no seams for spills to find. Combined with sealed burners and a flat, concealed-element oven floor, it makes Sofia genuinely straightforward to keep looking new — which matters more over ten years than any single specification.

Make her yours

Create a personalized engraved nameplate for the oven door. Add a metal bezel kit — brushed brass, brushed bronze, brushed gold or matte black — with eleven knob bezels and a matching nameplate frame. Choose a colour kit, and for a project that needs an exact match, custom RAL finishes are available.

Personalisation is built into how we manufacture rather than added afterwards, so specifying colours, trim kits or bezels doesn't extend your lead time.

Complete the suite with a matching Sofia vent hood and warming drawer.

Frequently asked questions

What sizes does the Sofia Professional Range come in? Sofia is available from 30 to 48 inches across gas, dual fuel and induction configurations.

How many BTUs are Sofia's burners? Our Crescendo burners reach a maximum of 20,000 BTU, with 18,000 BTU positions across the surface depending on the model.

Does every burner have the same output? Every burner position on Sofia carries a 5-in-1 Crescendo burner, so you can sear or simmer at any position rather than working around a single power burner.

What temperature range does the oven cover? 80°F to 550°F, adjustable in 5-degree increments — low enough to proof dough, high enough for serious roasting.

Do Sofia ovens self-clean? Many do, including the electric ovens in our dual fuel ranges. Self-cleaning availability varies by configuration — check the specification for your chosen model, or ask your authorized dealer.

Can I personalise my Sofia range? Yes. Choose an engraved nameplate, a bezel kit in brushed brass, brushed bronze, brushed gold or matte black, colour kits, and custom RAL finishes for exact-match projects.

What is a Crescendo burner? Our 5-in-1 dual-flame burner, engineered to move seamlessly from a gentle simmer to a 20,000 BTU sear.
