36" Electric Cooktop with 5 Radiant Elements and Touch-Activated Controls

This 36-inch electric cooktop has a sleek, ceramic-glass surface and touch-activated controls that add to its sleek design. You’ll get consistent temperatures without hot or cool spots and a range of simmer and melt settings. To maximize the 36-inch space, you get a triple-ring and two double-ring elements that let you match element performance to cookware size.

Features

12''/9''/6'' Triple-Ring Round Element

Maximizes your flexibility with three distinct sizes that allow for element selection based on cookware size.

Two 10''/6'' Double-Ring Round Elements

Create two elements in one location. The inner rings are used like standard six-inch elements. The outer rings add size and power for large cookware. A simmer function works on both the inner and outer element.

Even-Heat™ Simmer on All Elements

Gives you added versatility and takes the guesswork out of finding the perfect power level for soups and sauces. Even-Heat™ elements offer customized heat control with a range of simmer settings.

Even-Heat™ Melt on All Elements

Provides the ability to get the low temperatures needed to melt chocolate or butter without scorching. The element uses Even-Heat™ technology to maintain a constant supply of power.

Keep Warm on All Elements

Provides an ultra-low electric element output that does not exceed 100 watts. This makes it ideal for keeping cooked foods warm.

Control Lock Function

Helps prevent unintended use and makes it easier to clean the control panel.

Rated 4 out of 5 by BirdPeople from No Knobs - Pros and Cons This cooktop is great. I absolutely love the "Keep Warm" and "Melt + Hold" features. The "Simmer" temperature seems too high for my taste. My only concern is that the control is all in the touch screen control panel and just brushing the control panel or placing something on it can turn the whole cooktop off! Then you have to reset each burner you have on. It is a three step touch process to turn on any burner which is Power + whichever burner + temp number. It also takes some figuring out how to operate it so it may not be for everyone. The Ceran top does clean up nice with a cleaning kit designed for glass/Ceran cooktops. Then it looks like new!

Rated 4 out of 5 by Mom of 2 from fantastic 5th element we have had this for about a month. love having the extra element in the middle and the fact that it is larger than your typical large element. great for the bigger pots and pans. love that you can choose the size of the element so if you have a bunch of smaller pots on the go and need the extra small element you can set a bigger one to a smaller size only the inner ring heats up. Still getting used to the temperature controls. they are hotter than our previous stove. that will come with time. Only issue we have so far is that the control centre is sensitive so if you place a pot or pan or cloth, anything really, on it it will turn the whatever is on off.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Big Red from Nice improvement Have used for about 4 months. This cooktop replaced a 30" that had stop working in all burners. The 36" cooktop is a huge improvement over the old one. Five burners and the extra room is nice to have, and we make use of those features almost daily. A no-knob control panel is great as the pots do not have anything to bang against. The burners are adjustable from 1-9 heat settings, big burners can be set to a smaller diameter by the push of a button, and the burners heat up fast. Burners do stay hot for a while after turned off, which is indicated by "H" until they are cooled down. Would definitely purchase again.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Maryo from Nice features I've had this cooktop for about 6 weeks. So far so good! The only thing I do not care for, and this may be true of any glass cooktop is that it is very hard to keep the top clean. And after only a couple times of using it, the top has "marks" on some of the burners that will not come off, regardless of how much I clean it. I've tried a couple of products specifically for this purpose with no luck. If you want a clean looking cooktop i would not recommend going with glass, Also, if you set something on top of the cooktop when it is off, it will beep intermittently to let you know it is there, which can be annoying.

Rated 2 out of 5 by rickandsue from Very attractive cook top but with some major issues We bought 4 KitchenAid products at the same time (fridge, oven,micro and cooktop). The cooktop was the only item we have had problems with. While very attractive, the shiny finish does not appear to be mar resistant. After limited usage, we already have some scratches, and some clear marring - even with recommended pots and pans. Our previous top had a matte finish and held up over 16 years - despite countless family gatherings and multiple cooks. Only in the past year did it shown signs of wear. Also, the controls on this model are very complicated. We should not have to treat a cooktop with kid gloves.

Rated 4 out of 5 by RogerV from 5 Burner Cooktop We installed a 36” Kitchenaid ceramic cooktop 6-7 years ago and after 2-3 years the large, multiple ring burner began to get hotspots and heat unevenly higher in the lower left quadrant. This past week it cracked while cooking, and the burner was set at med-high. We will replace it, and I prefer KA, bu5 I am concerned about durability,as the home had a 20 year old Hotpoint ceramic that was still serviceable when we replaced it.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Omerp from A great concept but I still haven't adjusted to gradually changing the heat or cold content of the burners and am still getting FE errors and blowing the circuit breaker. But, if I remember not to put a hot pan on a cold burner and not to put a cold pan on a warm burner and not to take a pan off a hot burner without shutting it down first, this cooktop is a dream. I like the controls and I like having 5 burners. It is great instant heat and being able to regulate the size of the heating surface with the touch of a finger is a great concept.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Swan Mother from Everything works so well on it. I bought a used condo. My intention was to buy a glass top stove the same brand as the other appliances. When it had been installed and used, the salesman and I decided did not fit the opening. So my appliance salesman suggested "KITCHENAID". I wanted a matching one but what could I do. I was NOT happy!! The KITCHENAID glass top cooktop was installed (after much adjusting) and looked terribly complicated to me. (After-all, I had already gotten used-to the other brand.) After one month of using this KITCHENAID stove top, I was in love. By-then the controls were simple to use. But cleaning the glass top was a breeze with this brand. I have had glass top ranges for decades. THIS ONE is the best of all of them! It heats very fast. Cooks evenly. And cleans like a dream!

Rated 5 out of 5 by mjplatt from So much better than my old GE cooktop The installation was easy, with just a slight modification of the counter top opening required. My old cook top had knobs that collected grease and dirt underneath, requiring removal and cleaning constantly, and which eventually simply broke off. The Kitchen aid is completely smooth with no protruding parts. The controls are electronic and use touch sensitive areas on the cook top. They are rather intuitive and after using them a couple of times it will feel natural. This cook top also heats very rapidly for an electric one. On several of the elements, you have a choice of one or more rings to heat, so you can tailor the element to the size of the pan. I have owned and used this cook top for several months now and I cook a lot. This unit is definitely worth the money.....

Rated 5 out of 5 by V. Diehl from Nice Cooktop, no knobs! :) Bought this about a month ago to replace a very aged and barely functioning cooktop. In love with it so far. Three large burners and two small ones give plenty of cooking options. Digital controls eliminate the headaches of cleaning of and around knobs. Seems to be a good value for the price.
