A:AnswerHad a jennair . That unit was slightly smaller than the Kitchen aid - had a small gap after install with jennair but not with Kitchen Aid. Also my jennair was glass and the kitchen aid was stainless. Prefer stainless. Also the jennair cooktop was curved and pans could tip over if not placed right. Not an issue with the Kitchen Aid.
A:AnswerHI Candomath, To determine as to if this will fit in the current cut outs we would recommend reviewing the installation instructions to determine the dimensions needed for the 30" unit. We hope this helps.
A:AnswerHello Joe, that is the correct height of the unit. There is Downdraft Ventilation underneath the cooktop and that accounts for the extra height. Hopefully this information is beneficial to you. Thank you for your inquiry regarding our KitchenAid appliances!

A:AnswerI will say I had to call in a specialized installer for this job. Best Buy guys couldn't handle it and that's fine. It was tricky with gas lines and venting.
A:AnswerMine was as replacement as well, but NOT same brand so that was probably the issue. I tried to purchase install through BestBuy and their guys couldn't do the gas lines. I bet it cost us almost $500 for install....
A:AnswerHello. While these two Cooktops do have multiple similarities, they also have differences as well. Please be sure to review their features to determine what best fits your wants and needs. We hope this helps.
