A:Answer Hello Mimi,
Thank you for reaching out to us! Please know that it is a No, a 5.6 cu ft freestanding gas true convection range is not a downdraft. A downdraft range or cooktop integrates the ventilation system directly into the cooking surface, eliminating the need for an overhead vent. These systems help capture smoke, steam, grease particles and odors at the cooking surface, pulling them down and out of the kitchen before they can escape into the air. A freestanding gas range with a true convection oven does not have this feature and requires a separate hood or vent to remove the cooking fumes.
We hope this information helps!
