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.

  • 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.

  • 300 CFM Exhaust Rating

  • 3-Speed Fan Control

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

    Two element sizes in one provide the ability to use it for large stock pots or six-inch sauté pans and handle tasks ranging from rapid boiling and searing to wok cooking.

  • 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.

    KitchenAid 30 inch Glass Cooktop: Highly Satisfied

    We purchased recently KitchenAid - 30 inch Electric Cooktop from BestBuy on June 1, 2024. The Sales Manager at BestBuy was very helpful, cardial, quite knowledgeable and great to work with. He helped us in purchasing the right product at the right price and scheduled the installation. The product was delivered within a week and arrived on-time. Antoine who was assigned to measure and install the product was awesome. Antoine was thorough and made sure that we have the right size ducts and clamps prior to installation to connect with the downdraft. All in all, the installation was a breeze with no glitches. It took about 2 hours to remove the old cooktop, install the new one and haul away our old cooktop with the older downdraft. We have started using our new KitchenAid Ceramic Glass Cooktop and we love it. The cooktop is beautiful and very easy to operate. Everything is working well and the food quality is much better due to even heating. Also, we purchased the cleaning kit with a scrapper and we follow the care instructions and clean the ceramic glass cooktop after every use. This cooktop is fitted with Schott-Ceraden ceramic glass (one of the best) and we visited their website to learn more about taking care of the glasstop. The instruction manual from KitchenAid was thorough and very easy to follow. The downdraft fan works great and makes much less noise with three settings compared to our previous Whirlpool cooktop with only one fan setting. We are very concious of quality and aesthetics and proud to say that we very very pleased with our KitchenAid cooktop from BestBuy. We strongly recommend to anyone who is in the market to buy this ceramic glass cooktop. Based on our experience with BestBuy and KitchenAid/Whirlpool, we went ahead and purchased a new dishwasher and a microwave oven and we plan to purchase a 4-door french door refrigerator from BestBuy. Great job!

    Well Built, High Performing Cooktop

    This KitchenAid Cooktop replaces our old JennAir, and we were looking specifically for a cooktop that had a downdraft (DD) exhaust build into it. We loved the DD in our old JennAir and wanted to make sure a new one had it. Installation was easy as we were replacing the countertops in our kitchen and did not have to have a unit of the same size as our old one. Just had to realign the exhaust hole in the wall (cut a new one). The KitchenAid heats quickly, offers a variety of sizes with four burners and the multi-speed exhaust allows adjustment for the amount of exhaust needed. Cleaning is fairly easy but I would not recommend the use of an abrasives on the glass surface. Boil-overs or spills can be "scraped" off using a razor blade tool, like one for removing paint from windows, then soap and water. The build quality is very good and performance to date had been great.

    Nice cooktop.

    Good unit. Working great. Professional install. We had really bad luck trying to get a GE delivered. So we went with this one instead and glad we did.
