A:AnswerHi Gary- Thanks for considering our GE Café Series! Yes, the cooktop is equipped with an integrated griddle interchangeable with left-side grates for instant cook space. You may want to pair with GE Café™ Series 1.7 Cu. Ft. Convection Over-the-Range Microwave Oven CVM9179SLSS or GE Café™ Series 2.1 Cu. Ft. Over-the-Range Microwave Oven CVM9215SLSS. Both are equipped with cooktop lighting and exhaust fan to quickly remove smoke, steam and odors from the cooktop to keep kitchen air fresh and clean.
