Highlights:
- Five Gas Burners: Offers a range of heat outputs to accommodate various cooking techniques, including a powerful 17,000 BTU professional burner for high-heat cooking.
- Downdraft Ventilation System: Integrated ventilation captures smoke, steam, and odors directly at the cooking surface, eliminating the need for an overhead hood.
- Stainless Steel Finish: Durable and stylish, the stainless steel surface is easy to clean and complements any kitchen decor.
- Continuous Cast-Iron Grates: Provide a stable cooking surface and allow for easy movement of pots and pans across the cooktop.
- Electronic Ignition: Ensures reliable and quick burner ignition every time.
- Knob Controls: Intuitive and easy-to-use controls for precise heat adjustments.
- Dishwasher-Safe Grates: Simplifies cleaning by allowing grates to be easily removed and washed in the dishwasher.
- Versatile Cooking Options: Suitable for a variety of cooking styles, from simmering to searing.
- Compact Design: Fits seamlessly into a 36 countertop space, making it ideal for kitchens of all sizes.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Full-Width Cast-Iron Grates
- Enhance the beautiful look of the cooktop and allow easy movement of cookware around the entire cooking surface.
- 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.
- 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.
- 300 CFM Exhaust Rating
- Handles the venting requirements of high temperature cooking techniques like pan searing and stir-frying.
- 15K BTU 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.
- 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.
- Stainless Steel Knobs
- Enhance the look of the cooktop surface with sturdy construction that adds to their premium feel.
- LP Conversion Kit
- Allows you to convert the cooktop so it can be used with LP gas.
