Bertazzoni Professional 90cm Air-Tec Vented Induction Range Cooker Yellow (PROCH94I1EGIT)

Bertazzoni PROCH94I1EGIT — 90cm Air-Tec vented induction range cooker in giallo yellow, £5,799. An induction hob, an electric oven and a downdraft extraction system in one chassis — so no overhead hood is needed.

What Air-Tec actually solves

You want a proper range cooker on an island or in an open-plan kitchen, and you don't want an extraction hood hanging in the middle of the room. Air-Tec draws steam and odour down through the hob surface rather than up into a canopy.

That makes it the answer for island installations, open-plan rooms with sightlines you'd rather not break, low or sloping ceilings, and renovations where running ducting through a ceiling void would be the most disruptive part of the job.

The hob

Four induction zones controlled by ergonomic metal knobs in the Professional Series style. Multi-zone technology combines two zones into a single larger cooking area — what you want for a fish kettle, a griddle plate or an oversized pan.

Induction needs ferrous, magnetic cookware. All cast iron works and most modern stainless does; pure aluminium and copper don't. Test yours with a fridge magnet before ordering.

The oven

A single electric oven. This is the trade-off against a standard 90cm Bertazzoni — the extraction system occupies space a second cavity would otherwise use. If you need two ovens, the 90cm twin oven induction (PRO95I2E) starts at £4,599, but you'll need a hood.

The giallo yellow finish

Yellow is the least common colour in the Professional Series palette, and a yellow Air-Tec is about as individual as a UK kitchen gets — very few retailers stock this colour in this model at all.

It's more forgiving than people expect. Yellow lifts north-facing kitchens that struggle for natural light, and works with grey, white and pale blue cabinetry without the tension red or orange can create. It's less successful against warm cream, where the tones blur.

Practical point that matters here: yellow shows fingerprints and splashes far less than gloss black — and an island cooker gets touched from every side.

The honest limitation

Downdraft extraction captures best at hob level. Steam from a tall stockpot rises above the capture zone in a way a wide canopy hood would still catch. Most everyday cooking — frying, searing, sautéing — produces steam close to the pan surface, which is exactly where downdraft is strongest.

Installation

Needs a dedicated high-amperage circuit run from the consumer unit by a qualified electrician — not a standard 13A plug. No gas connection and no annual gas safety check.

You also need to decide ducted or recirculating extraction. Ducted vents outside and is more effective; recirculating filters and returns air to the room, is simpler to install, and needs filter changes. Which is possible depends on where the cooker sits relative to an external wall or floor void — so this can determine placement. Resolve it at drawing stage.

Ask us for the exact electrical requirement, aperture and clearance figures from the specification sheet before your cabinetry is cut. Full detail in our installation requirements guide.

Questions

Why £300 more than stainless? Colour finishes carry a £300 premium. Stainless (PROCH94I1EXT) is £5,499.

Is yellow hard to live with? Less than most people expect. It's the most forgiving of the bold colours on marks, and it lifts a dark kitchen.

Do I really not need a hood? Correct — extraction is built into the cooker.
