“Is this a complete downdraft slide-in range? We do not want a hood with a vent.”

• No. This is not like a JennAir range. It has vents at the rear of the cooktop for the oven heat to escape. Here's a google search quote: Hot air rises, after all, along with all the grease and smoke and steam that comes from sautéing, boiling, and frying. That's why most kitchen ventilation is installed above the cooking surface. In contrast, a downdraft range must pull air against its natural tendency, and it tends to do a poor job.

• This range has oven vents at the rear of the cooktop. Avoid placing cabinets above the range. To minimize the hazard caused by reaching over the open flames of operating burners, install a ventilation hood over the range that projects forward at least five inches beyond the front of the cabinets. ^Daphane
