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

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

  • 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.

  • Power-On Indicator Light

    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.

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

  • 6'' Round Element

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

    Nice downdraft cooktop

    This was purchased to replace an older downdraft cooktop and was the only downdraft one I could find. That said it was easy to install by myself (lightweight makes it easy to drop in), looks great and so far works great. The burners light up so you can tell they are on and can be set to very low simmer settings. Downdraft works fine and not too noisy. Glass top is a bit challenging to keep spotless but that is typical.

    Burner fixing.

    One burner (on the lower left hand side didn't work). The technician came to fit it. Currently, it works very well. Thanks so much for the excellent service! Best wishes in the holidays season.

Sharp - 30 in. Wide 4 Element Built-In Induction Cooktop with Four Cooking Zones and Dedicated Timers, Side Accessories Included - Black

The Sharp 30" Built-In Electric Induction Cooktop is a powerful, beautiful addition to your dream kitchen. The black mirror finish of the glass surface is a perfect match and can be combined with the Sharp Easy Wave Open Microwave Drawer Oven and European Convection Built-In Single Wall Oven. The four cooking zones provide flexibility to orchestrate even your most elaborate entertaining. This cooktop features a variable-sized zone and a convenient Cooling Zone. More precise than gas, and more efficient than electric, the Sharp 30" Built-In Electric Induction Cooktop is faster than both. The Simmer, Melt, and Warm settings provide low, consistent cooking performance for your most delicate soups, sauces, and fondues. Heat is generated directly into the cookware itself, so there is less wasted energy heating up your kitchen. And without an open flame or radiant coil, spills and splatters are less likely to burn, and a breeze to clean up.
