This 30-inch KitchenAid electric downdraft cooktop has stainless steel knobs for lasting use.
Q: Does this cooktop replace a JennAir model?
A: Yes, but in my case, they had to make a half inch cut to the front side of the marble top
Q: How does this work with the fan? What if you have cupboards above it. What about moisture issues?
A: berk, the downdraft has a 3-speed fan control that can be adjusted to cooking needs, effectively removing steam, grease, and odors from the air. For location requirements and cabinet dimensions, please see pages 3-4 of the Installation Instructions: https://www.kitchenaid.com/content/dam/global/documents/201611/installation-instructions-W10848428-RevB.pdf.
A: Most probably. Keep in mind that this type of cooktop has a large exhaust fan that takes space.
A: I have not had it that long but most of the surface seems scratch resistant but i’m Careful to lift my pans not drag them. This cooktop does need cleaning with glass cooktop cleaning after every use but I imagine all glass cooktops do! There aren’t many choices for downdrafts that I was replacing.

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!

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.

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.
