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.

    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.

    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.

    Best decision!

    I absolutely love this cooktop. I researched FOREVER before making my purchase, and I could not be happier. The controls are easy to use, it’s not as hard to keep clean as I had read- you just have to be conscious to do it after use, and the burners and heating is top notch! The downdraft works wonders and keeps all the smoke and stink out of the kitchen. I’ve already used all the “special” functions (ultra low, ultra high) and they work great. I chose for Best Buy to install, and it made it so simple. So glad that I went with this!

    Great electric cooktop

    Purchased to replace the same unit that died because of lightning damage. Build is much better than it was 7yrs ago. The finish has changed from smooth glass to textured but it is a welcome change. The burners all got larger and dedicated warmer is now an actual burner.
