  • Set-and-Forget Reliability: Flawlessly cooks and  lifts, allowing chefs to multitask with confidence.
  • Model Specific: Ensure it's for the Pro XL model, as it’s not a universal fit.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Grand Hotel in York decided to upgrade its kitchen workflow to better handle the demands of its two busy restaurants and  large wedding receptions. Manually managing large batches of pasta and  blanched vegetables was causing inconsistencies and  putting a physical strain on the team.

"The Ivario Pro XL lifting arm accessory has taken both the guesswork and  the backache out of our pasta station. We can load it up, press a button, and  walk away, knowing it will be perfect. Our younger chefs can now produce the same quality as our most experienced ones."

Robert Davies – Executive Chef

Since installing the AutoLift, the hotel has seen a marked improvement in food consistency and  has increased its batch cooking output by over 30% during peak prep times.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Ensure your Ivario Pro XL is turned off and  cool before installation.
  • The arm slots securely into the designated mounting points on the unit – no tools required.
  • Check that the electronic connection clicks firmly into place for proper communication.
  • Perform a test run with an empty basket to ensure the lifting mechanism moves freely.

Keeping It Going

  • The stainless steel arm is fully dishwasher safe for easy and  hygienic cleaning.
  • Wipe down the connection points on both the arm and  the unit regularly with a soft, damp cloth.
  • Periodically check that the arm is still seated correctly and  hasn't become loose.
  • Avoid using abrasive scouring pads or harsh chemicals which can damage the finish.
