ALTO gas barbecue

• Two installation modes: ALTO UNIT (on furniture) or ALTO SOLO (freestanding / built-in)
• Fully removable lid for total access and 360° cooking
• Fully lab-tested for indoor use in professional kitchens
• Designed for intensive, versatile, and safe use
• Perfect for modular, professional, and premium environments

The name ALTO refers to the idea of elevation: it evokes height, refinement, and a level of ambition that goes beyond ordinary cooking.

In Italian, alto means “high,” a direct image of ambition, higher standards, and precision.

In music, alto refers to a medium‑high, warm, and expressive register — a balanced tone that perfectly symbolizes the mastery and harmony the product embodies.

The name refers to:

• harmony,
• warmth,
• balance,
• purity of form and clarity of intention.

Because it expresses its three major strengths:

Minimalist, architectural, and decidedly modern.

Fast heating, precise control, and total reliability.

Designed to bring people together, to share, and to create memorable culinary moments.

• integrated storage doors,
• hidden wheels,
• double‑wall construction,
• premium Blum soft‑close hinges.

• a worktop,
• a custom outdoor kitchen,
• a professional indoor installation (with the lid removed).

ALTO offers six simultaneous cooking zones:

• 2 stainless steel planchas
• 2 cooking grates
• 2 warming zones
• • Rotisserie option

• 3 independent main burners
• 1 high‑performance sear burner for intense marking and searing

They ensure fast, even heating and precise temperature control.

Ceramic burners outperform stainless-steel burners for several reasons:

• Higher temperatures (up to 800–900°C)
• Perfect searing of meats (steakhouse effect)
• Ultra‑even heat with no hot spots
• Instant reactivity: heats up in seconds
• Less energy loss: ceramic radiates heat instead of only heating the air

Cast stainless steel is durable, but it cannot match the thermal performance of a ceramic burner.

Yes.

Ceramic retains and radiates heat as infrared energy, which allows:

• faster heating
• better heat retention
• lower fuel consumption for the same cooking power

At equivalent performance, a ceramic burner is more economical than a traditional metal burner.

Yes: they deliver a higher real heat output.

A traditional burner heats the air, whereas a ceramic burner heats the food directly through infrared radiation, resulting in:

• more intense searing
• better juice retention
• faster, more controlled cooking

Yes, they are versatile:

• High‑temperature searing for steaks, chops, and burgers
• Indirect cooking with the lid closed
• Low and slow cooking, as they maintain stable heat
• Vegetables, fish, and delicate grills: the radiation is evenly distributed

Temperature control remains very precise.

Yes.

Ceramic:

• does not rust
• does not deform
• has exceptional heat resistance
• is not affected by corrosion or the acidity of fats

When properly maintained, a ceramic burner can last far longer than most stainless‑steel burners.

No, it’s actually the opposite.

Most of the time:

• a simple burn‑off (heating to incinerate residues) is enough
• no aggressive brushing is needed
• no risk of rust

Maintenance is minimal.

Because it is the most:

• high‑performing
• stable
• durable
• energy‑efficient

It is also the technology that delivers the best culinary results, especially for those who appreciate authentic grilling and professional‑level searing.

Continuous ignition is the most reliable and the most comfortable to use.

It is the preferred choice on premium appliances.

Piezoelectric ignition remains a good solution for those who want a simple system with no battery.
