Introduction
If you have been shopping for a Bertazzoni range cooker, you will have noticed that the Professional Series is the one that tends to stop people in their tracks. It is bold, colourful and instantly recognisable. It is also the most fully featured range in the Bertazzoni lineup, with the widest choice of sizes, the most colour options and a handful of technical details that set it apart from the other series.
This guide covers everything: the design, the colours, the sizes, the oven functions, the hob options, how the Professional compares to the Master and Heritage series, and how to match it with the rest of your kitchen. All information is based on official Bertazzoni product specifications.

What Is the Bertazzoni Professional Series?
Bertazzoni Professional Series range cooker
Bertazzoni has been making kitchen appliances since 1882 in Guastalla, Emilia-Romagna in northern Italy, a region famous for both engineering precision and exceptional food. It is the same part of Italy that produces Parmigiano Reggiano, Prosciutto di Parma and Ferrari. The brand has stayed family-owned across six generations, and that heritage shows up in the way these cookers are built.
The Professional Series is Bertazzoni's flagship range cooker line. It sits above the Master Series in terms of features and finish quality, and alongside the Heritage Series in terms of price, though the two series appeal to very different kitchen aesthetics. The Professional is the contemporary, design-forward choice. It is the cooker for people who want their kitchen to make a statement.
What defines the Professional Series above all else is the combination of bold colour options, angular pro-style handles, an exclusive touch digital programmer and the widest availability across all five Bertazzoni sizes. If you want a Bertazzoni in red, orange, yellow or matte black, the Professional Series is the only place to find it. If you want a 120cm Bertazzoni, the Professional Series is the only series it comes in.
For a broader introduction to the brand, read our post: An Introduction to Bertazzoni Range Cookers.
Professional Series Design and Aesthetics
The Professional Series has a very deliberate look. It draws inspiration from commercial kitchen equipment, the kind of cooker you see in a restaurant kitchen, translated into something that works in a family home. The design is clean, angular and uncompromising.
The Control Panel
The front control panel on a Professional Series cooker is framed by four borders, giving it a structured, almost architectural feel. This is one of the clearest visual differences between the Professional and the Master Series, which uses two parallel lines instead. It sounds like a small detail, but it gives the Professional cooker a noticeably more substantial, premium look in person.
The Knobs
Professional Series signature brass knobs
The Professional Series uses precision-machined brass or stainless steel knobs depending on the model. They are ergonomically designed to be easy to grip and turn, with a satisfying tactile response. The brass finish on many Professional models looks exceptional against the coloured finishes, and it ties the series directly to Bertazzoni's Italian craftsmanship heritage.
The Touch Digital Programmer
One of the features that genuinely distinguishes the Professional Series is the touch digital programmer on the oven. This displays the selected cooking function, lets you set the cooking time and provides real-time temperature feedback. The Master Series uses a dial thermometer instead. For anyone who likes to cook with precision, the touch programmer is a significant upgrade.
The Handles
The Professional Series handles are angular and squared off, inspired by the grip bars found on professional stainless steel kitchen equipment. They give the cooker a purposeful look and are ergonomically designed to sit comfortably in the hand and support the weight of the oven doors smoothly.
The Anti-Slam Door System
Professional Series cookers feature an anti-slam closing system on the oven doors. The soft-close mechanism means the oven door decelerates gently rather than closing with a thud, which is kinder on the cooker's internal components over time and feels noticeably more refined in daily use.
Triple-Glazed Doors
All Professional Series ovens feature triple-glazed oven doors. The three layers of glass trap heat inside the oven cavity more effectively than a standard double-glazed door, which means the oven reaches temperature faster, holds it more consistently and keeps the door exterior cooler to the touch. This is a practical safety benefit in a busy kitchen.
Professional Series Colours and Finishes
Bertazzoni Professional Series 120cm in Rosso (red) with built-in griddle
This is where the Professional Series really has no rivals among Bertazzoni's own lineup. It is the only Bertazzoni series that offers bold gloss colours, and the range of options is genuinely exciting.
Gloss Colours
- Rosso (Red): the most iconic Bertazzoni colour, a deep vivid red that works beautifully in contemporary and warm-toned kitchens alike
- Arancio (Orange): a rich burnt orange that is bold but surprisingly versatile
- Giallo (Yellow): a sunny, optimistic yellow that works well in country kitchens and open-plan spaces
- Bianco (White): a crisp gloss white, ideal for kitchens where the cooker needs to blend rather than dominate
Matt Finishes
- Carbonio (Matte Black): Bertazzoni's signature matte black finish, arguably the most popular Professional Series colour in the UK. It has a sleek, understated quality that works in almost any kitchen style. Unlike the gloss options, Carbonio reads as refined rather than bold.
- Nero (Gloss Black): a high-gloss black that gives the cooker a dramatic, contemporary presence
Stainless Steel
The classic stainless steel finish is available across the Professional Series for those who prefer a neutral look that coordinates with other stainless appliances.
Not every colour is available in every size or configuration, and availability can change. The team at Quince & Cook can confirm exactly which colours are in stock for the model you have in mind. Call us on 01738 231600 or email cookers@quinceandcook.co.uk.
The gloss and matte finishes on the Professional Series are designed to be fade and stain resistant. Bertazzoni applies their colour coatings at high temperatures to ensure they bond durably with the steel beneath. The Carbonio matte black finish in particular is known for its resilience and its ability to conceal minor fingerprints better than a gloss surface. For guidance on keeping your cooker looking its best, read our post: How to Clean a Bertazzoni.
Professional Series Sizes
The Professional Series is the only Bertazzoni range cooker available in all five sizes. This makes it the most flexible choice for any kitchen, and it is the reason the Professional is often the default recommendation for anyone who wants a Bertazzoni but is still deciding on width.
For a detailed breakdown of what each size offers in terms of burner count, oven configuration, cavity capacity and kitchen fit, read our dedicated post: Bertazzoni Range Cooker Sizes Explained: 60cm to 120cm Compared.
| Size | Oven Config | Hob Options | Notable Features |
|---|---|---|---|
| 60cm | Single | Gas or Induction | Fits standard 60cm slot, 11 oven functions |
| 90cm | Single or Double | Gas or Induction | Most popular size, Air-Tec available |
| 100cm | Double | Gas or Induction | Extra hob space, sixth burner on gas models |
| 110cm | Triple | Gas or Induction | Only Bertazzoni with three separate oven cavities |
| 120cm | Double | Gas + griddle or Induction + griddle | Exclusive to Professional Series, built-in griddle, 6 burners |
The 120cm is worth highlighting on its own. It is Bertazzoni's most impressive range cooker, with six burners plus a built-in stainless steel griddle, a double oven, and a footprint that makes it the undisputed centrepiece of any large kitchen. It is exclusive to the Professional Series.

Hob Options: Gas vs Induction
Every Bertazzoni Professional Series range cooker is available with a choice of hob type, and this is one of the most important decisions you will make. The oven is always electric regardless of which hob you choose.
Gas Hob (Dual Fuel)
A dual fuel Professional Series cooker pairs a gas hob with an electric oven. The gas hob features brass burners with a thermocouple safety device that automatically shuts off the gas supply if a flame is accidentally extinguished. The burners include a dual-ring wok burner for high heat, standard ring burners and a simmer burner for delicate sauces. Cast iron pan supports provide a stable surface for heavy cookware and are built for long-term durability. Many home cooks prefer gas on the hob because of the immediate, visible flame that gives intuitive, responsive control.
Induction Hob
The induction Professional Series uses electromagnetic zones that heat the pan directly rather than the hob surface. This makes induction faster to heat up, more energy efficient and considerably easier to clean. A spill on an induction hob does not burn onto the surface the way it does on gas, so day-to-day maintenance is much simpler. Induction zones on the Professional Series include a booster function, pot detection, residual heat indicators and on larger models, flex zones that allow two zones to combine for oversized pans. The trade-off is that induction only works with magnetic cookware, so cast iron and most stainless steel pans work fine, but copper or aluminium without an induction base will not heat.
For more detail on fuel types and which suits different cooking styles and kitchens, read: Induction vs Gas vs Dual Fuel Range Cookers.
Oven Functions Explained
All Bertazzoni Professional Series range cookers feature a main electric oven with 11 cooking functions. The touch digital programmer displays the selected function on a clear screen, making it easy to choose the right setting and monitor your cooking. For a full breakdown of every Bertazzoni oven setting and when to use each one, read our dedicated post: Bertazzoni Oven Settings Explained.
- Bake: the everyday workhorse. Upper and lower heating elements activate simultaneously for even all-round heat. Ideal for roasting, baking cakes and most general cooking.
- Convection Bake: adds the fan to the standard Bake setting. Useful for multi-level baking and can reduce cooking time by up to 10%.
- Convection: uses the circular heating element and the fan together. Perfect for pastry, multi-level roasting and delicate baked goods.
- Turbo: Bertazzoni's pizza and bread setting. Activates the upper element, the circular element and the fan for the fastest, most intense heat distribution. Great for pizzas, focaccia, crusty bread and multi-level roasting.
- Broil: activates the broil element at four power levels. Ideal for searing steaks, gratins and browning the tops of dishes.
- Convection Broil: adds the fan to the Broil setting. Best for thicker cuts, fish that is too delicate to turn and anything that needs browning all the way through.
- Proof: a very low, constant heat using the lower element. Creates the ideal environment for proving dough. It is a genuine baker's feature that many home cooks quickly fall in love with.
- Warming: uses the lower element to keep food or plates warm at one of three preset temperatures.
- Clean: Bertazzoni's self-cleaning function. High heat burns off food residue and turns it to ash, which can then be wiped away. Full guidance in our post: How to Clean a Bertazzoni.
- Fast Preheat: brings the oven up to temperature as quickly as possible by activating multiple heating elements simultaneously.
The Food Probe
Professional Series models include a food probe that connects to the oven and monitors the internal temperature of whatever is cooking. You set the target temperature and the oven alerts you when the probe reading hits it. This takes the guesswork out of cooking joints, whole birds and fish, and works across most oven settings including Bake, Convection and Turbo.
Double and Triple Ovens
On 90cm double oven models, 100cm models and 110cm triple oven models, the Professional Series adds an auxiliary oven alongside the main cavity. This smaller secondary oven has six cooking modes and is ideal for warming, slow cooking or running a second dish at a different temperature. On the 110cm, the third cavity is a dedicated grill compartment, giving you independent control over three separate cooking spaces at once.
The Air-Tec: Professional Series With Integrated Hood
One of the most interesting Professional Series models is the Air-Tec. Available at 90cm, the Air-Tec is a single appliance that combines a full induction range cooker with a built-in extraction hood integrated directly into the top of the unit.
The hood features 10 speed settings controlled through a dedicated knob, and can be installed in either extraction mode (venting air outside via ducting) or recirculation mode (filtering the air and returning it to the kitchen). The integrated ventilation system is 100% safe against water spillage from the hob below.
The practical benefit of the Air-Tec is that it removes the need to purchase and install a separate cooker hood. For kitchen designs where a hood above the cooker would be difficult to fit, or where you want the cleanest possible visual line above the hob, the Air-Tec is a very elegant solution. It also bundles the cost of two appliances into one, which can represent excellent value.

Professional Series vs Master Series
The Professional and Master Series are more similar to each other than either is to the Heritage Series, which can make the choice between the two genuinely tricky. Both use the same oven technology, the same one-piece stainless steel worktop and the same fundamental build quality. We have a full post dedicated to comparing the two in detail: The Difference Between Bertazzoni Master and Professional Series.
| Feature | Professional Series | Master Series |
|---|---|---|
| Colours | Stainless, Carbonio, Nero, Rosso, Arancio, Giallo, Bianco | Stainless steel and Nero Matt only |
| Oven controls | Touch digital programmer | Dial thermometer |
| Door closing | Anti-slam soft close | Standard |
| Knob style | Smaller brass or stainless knobs | Larger stainless knobs |
| Control panel frame | Four-bordered frame | Two parallel lines |
| Sizes available | 60cm, 90cm, 100cm, 110cm, 120cm | 60cm, 90cm, 100cm, 110cm |
| Price | Higher | Lower |
The Professional Series is the right choice if colour matters to you, if you want the anti-slam door system, if you prefer a digital programmer on the oven, or if you need a 120cm cooker. The Master Series is the right choice if you prefer a more understated look, if stainless steel or neutral black suits your kitchen, or if budget is a significant factor. You can browse the Master Series here if you want to compare directly.
Professional Series vs Heritage Series
The Bertazzoni Heritage Series: a very different aesthetic to the Professional
The Heritage and Professional Series serve very different kitchen styles and attract very different buyers, but they sit in a similar price bracket, which is why people sometimes compare the two.
The Heritage Series is Bertazzoni's nod to its own history. It takes design cues from the original wood-burning stoves the Bertazzoni family built in the 19th century. The handles are chrome-finished replicas of the handrails on those original stoves, the knobs are rounded and tactile, and the control panel features an analogue temperature gauge. It is available in Avorio (ivory) and Nero (black) only, and only in 90cm and 110cm. It is a beautiful cooker that belongs in a country kitchen, a farmhouse kitchen or any space that values warmth and character over bold contemporary styling.
The Professional Series is the opposite end of that spectrum. Angular, modern and vivid, it belongs in a contemporary open-plan kitchen or any space where the cooker is intended to be a visual talking point.
The oven technology is broadly similar across both series, with both offering the 11-function electric oven, triple-glazed doors and a food probe. The Heritage Series uses a thermometer on the control panel rather than a touch programmer, and the anti-slam door system on the Professional Series is not a feature of the Heritage.
If you are still deciding between the Heritage and Professional, the best thing you can do is come and see both in person at our Perth store. Seeing them side by side makes the decision considerably easier. Book a cooker demonstration here.
Matching Your Cooker With Other Bertazzoni Appliances
One of the most compelling reasons to choose Bertazzoni is the ability to create a fully coordinated kitchen. The Professional Series design language, with its angular handles, precision knobs and clean four-bordered frame, runs through the entire Bertazzoni Professional appliance ecosystem.
- A Professional Series cooker hood: matching extractors in the same finish as your cooker, including coloured options.

Who Is the Professional Series For?
The Bertazzoni Professional Series is a fantastic cooker for a wide range of home cooks, but it is not the right choice for every kitchen. Here is a straightforward summary.
The Professional Series is a great fit if you:
- Want a bold, design-led cooker that becomes the centrepiece of your kitchen
- Are drawn to colour and want Rosso, Arancio, Giallo, Carbonio or any of the other exclusive Professional Series finishes
- Cook regularly and want a touch digital programmer with precise oven control
- Appreciate the anti-slam door system and the quality finish that comes with it
- Need a 120cm range cooker, as the Professional Series is your only Bertazzoni option at that size
- Want to coordinate your cooker with a matching fridge, hood and hobs across one consistent design language
- Have a contemporary, open-plan or design-forward kitchen where the cooker is part of the visual story
The Professional Series may not be the right fit if you:
- Have a traditional or country-style kitchen that suits a warmer, more heritage aesthetic. The Heritage Series is likely a better match.
- Want a neutral stainless steel or matte black cooker at a lower price point. The Master Series covers those finishes for less.
- Are working to a tight budget, as the Professional is Bertazzoni's premium range cooker series and is priced accordingly.
