36" Electric Downdraft Cooktop with 5 Elements

This 36” electric cooktop features Downdraft, an integrated ventilation system that doesn’t require a separate hood. A 10-inch Even-Heat™ Ultra element provides versatility for both high-and low-temperature cooking, and has multiple simmer settings. And with a 3-speed fan with 300 CFM exhaust rating, the venting can keep up with your culinary feats.

Features

10'' Even-Heat™ Ultra Element with Simmer Setting

Provides more versatility for high and low temperature cooking techniques. Even-Heat™ Technology maintains a constant supply of power and delivers a range of simmer settings.

6'' Even-Heat™ Element with Melt Setting

Combines the benefits of Even-Heat™ Technology with a dedicated setting that reaches the low temperatures needed to melt chocolate or butter without scorching.

3-Speed Fan Control

Can be precisely matched to cooking needs, effectively removing steam, grease, and odors from the air.

12''/9'' Double-Ring Element

Lets you use different cookware sizes at one location. When using large, 12-inch cookware the entire element surface is used. For smaller cookware, you’ll use only the 9-inch inner element.

Convertible to Duct-Free Ventilation

Allows a downdraft cooktop to be placed nearly anywhere in the kitchen using a duct-free conversion kit (not included). This filters and recirculates the air without running ductwork, ideal for kitchens with installation restrictions or ducting limitations.

Hot-Surface Indicator

Provides a clear indication that lets you know if any cooking surface is on or still hot.

Pure Color Ceramic-Glass Surface

Comes in saturated colors with stainless steel control knobs for a sophisticated, easy-to-clean appearance.

8'' Round Element

Efficiently heats a commonly used pan size and can reach a power output of up to 1800 watts for every day use.

Additional Features

Downdraft Ventilation

Integrates the ventilation system into the cooking surface so that a separate hood is not needed. Smoke and odors can be removed and taken outside or filtered and recirculated inside. A duct-free kit is available for purchase separately.

300 CFM Exhaust Rating

Handles the venting requirements of high temperature cooking techniques like pan searing and stir-frying.

CookShield Finish for Glass Surface

Protects the cooktop surface from scratches, helping keep it looking pristine even with frequent use.

Power-On Indicator Light

Lets you know at a glance when an element is on.

Stainless Steel Knobs

Enhance the look of the cooktop surface with sturdy construction that adds to their premium feel.

6'' Round Element

Can reach a power output of up to 1200 watts to handle your daily cooking needs.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Henda from Excellent Cooktop 9with downdraft fan I bought this appliance one month ago, it was simple to assembly and easy to install, the best came later with its performance, food is quickly fixed with no issues due the vapors coming out , if something spills out of the pot it could be easily removed using conventional soap and soft sponge. Very Happy with this purchase...

Rated 5 out of 5 by Gerrylb from Love my new electric cooktop This electric cooktop was the only one I could find with a downdraft. I really love it. It not only cooks great, but makes my kitchen look fantastic. It is so clean looking! Be sure to get the cleaner they recommend, though, as you cannot clean it with just water!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Grandma Tami from Oh My Gosh! How Sweet! I usually don't do reviews, but after searching for appliances with such mixed reviews I decided to review my latest appliance purchases. This says it's an electric downdraft cooktop--I purchased the professional 36 inch gas cooktop. I want to list both pros and cons. Pros are many: huge workspace, magnificent burners, heats quickly or slowly depending on setting, setting controls allow for a continual adjustment of temperature instead of 3 settings, quiet, controls are out of the way of the burners, easy to clean and looks very professional. Cons: Does not have a light behind the control knobs when turned on, the small burner is in the back middle. Control knobs turn on easily even when bumped, without the backlight it wouldn't even know it was bumped on. I would have preferred two smaller burners and at the very least one that was in the front. Overall, I love the cooktop!! I'm hoping KitchenAid will read my review and make the small adjustments to the control knobs. They would be simple adjustments and make this appliance hard to beat.

Rated 5 out of 5 by MrFusion from Love the new features! My wife and I just updated our kitchen and replaced the old smaller electric cooktop with this Kitchenaid model. The old unit was still working but showing it's age and the new cooktop gave us an extra burner plus it has many updated features. The temperture settings are MUCH improved over our old cooktop. It was very difficult to get the correct setting for simmer but the Kitchenaid has many additional settings that helps you get the right temperature for your needs. I also like the downdraft fan better in the Kitchenaid. Much quieter and seems to do a better job than the cooktop we replaced.
