KitchenAid – 36 in. Gas Downdraft Cooktop in Stainless Steel with 5 Burners

Highlights

• 17K BTU professional burner provides the ability to use high-temperature cooking methods such as searing, stir-frying, and wok cooking as well as low temperatures suitable for simmering
• 3-speed fan control can be precisely matched to cooking needs, effectively removing steam, grease and odors from the air
• 5K BTU even-heat simmer burner a diffuser plate allows more control of the flame at the lowest setting, for more precise simmering and melting
• 15KBTU professional burner reaches the high temperatures required to quickly get liquids to a boil and for high-temperature cooking techniques including getting a great sear on meat
• Full-width cast-iron grates enhance the beautiful look of the cooktop and allow easy movement of cookware around the entire cooking surface
• LP conversion kit included allows you to convert the cooktop so it can be used with LP gas
• 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
• Stainless steel knobs enhance the look of the cooktop surface with sturdy construction that adds to their premium feel
• Electronic ignition and automatic re-ignition lights burners with an electric spark instead of a pilot light; for more reliable performance, burners are relit if the flame is blown out

• 300 CFM exhaust rating handles the venting requirements of high temperature cooking techniques like pan searing and stir-frying
• Melt cap melt chocolate or butter, simmer delicate sauces, or poach eggs on a low-power burner, thanks to a wider burner cap that shields and diffuses the flame to produce a gentler, low-power heat
• Lights burners with an electric spark instead of a pilot light; for more reliable performance, burners are lit if the flame is blown out
