Product Description

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 withyour culinary feats.

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.

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.

Additional Features

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.

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.

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

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.

Stainless Steel Knobs

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

Rated 5 out of 5 by Angela24 from Remarkable improvements from previous model We bought this same cooktop in 2007 and recently had to replace it because the fan function broke. I can honestly say I wish the old cooktop had failed sooner, as this newer version is so much better! The most noticeable and outstanding improvement is how much easier the surface is to clean. It used to take at least 10 minutes, and I would dread the process. Now it takes a minute or two and it looks great - SO MUCH EASIER! I also appreciate the new, varied burner sizes and functionality.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Eddie2 from Good product Looks great and works great. The only drawbacks are that the fan is rather noisy and there are some sharp edges on the ends of the trim.

Rated 5 out of 5 by DebandHusb from Sleek design fits a family's needs. We enjoy using this cooktop! We like the 5 burners, the placement of the knobs and vent, the size of the burners and the sleek easy to clean top and vent area. No more reaching far into a narrow hole. We had had a built in grill, so we made sure to buy a griddle that sits on top of two burners. That is our breakfast must have. We use it every day. We had out cooktop installed about 3 weeks ago.

Rated 5 out of 5 by DMSD from Functional and attractive I was replacing an old kitchen aide stove top with downdraft. I was so excited when I saw this, the right size, color with down draft. I love it!
