KitchenAid Downdraft Gas Cooktop - 4 Burners - 30-in - Stainless Steel

You'll fall in love with this 2-in-1 cooktop by KitchenAid that sports a professional, modern look. Thanks to the downdraft ventilation system integrated into the cooking surface, you won't need a separate range hood. Smoke and odours are filtered and taken outside directly. Filtered air can also be recirculated indoors with a duct-free kit, which can be purchased separately. This unit has 4 burners, including powerful 15,000 BTU and 17,000 BTU burners, as well as a 5000 BTU Even-Heat burner to simmer sauces to perfection, or melt butter and chocolate without scorching. The 3-speed fan can be adjusted to match your cooking needs, and will get rid of steam, grease and odours. The 300 CFM evacuation rate complies with the ventilation requirements recommended to sear meats or stir-fry food. For extra reliability, the pilotless electronic ignition system and automatic reignition function ensure that the burner is relit if the flame is blown out.

• Downdraft ventilation integrates the ventilation system into the cooking surface so that a separate hood is not needed - smoke and odors can be removed and taken outside or filtered and recirculated inside
• 17K BTU professional burner provides the ability to use high-temperature cooking methods such as searing, stir-frying, and wok cooking as well as low temperatures suitable for simmering
• 5K BTU Even-Heat(TM) simmer burner - a diffuser plate allows more control of the flame at the lowest setting, for more precise simmering and melting
• 300 CFM exhaust rating handles the venting requirements of high temperature cooking techniques like pan searing and stir-frying
• 3-speed fan control can be precisely matched to cooking needs, effectively removing steam, grease, and odors from the air
• 15K BTU Professional burner reaches the high temperatures required to quickly get liquids to a boil and for high-temperature cooking techniques including getting a great sear on meat
• Convertible to duct-free ventilation - allows a downdraft cooktop to be placed nearly anywhere in the kitchen using a duct-free conversion kit (sold separately part #JDA7000WX)
• Melt cap - melt chocolate or butter, simmer delicate sauces, or poach eggs on a low-power burner, thanks to a wider burner cap that shields and diffuses the flame to produce a gentler, low-power heat
• Electronic ignition and automatic re-ignition lights burners with an electric spark instead of a pilot light - for more reliable performance, burners are re-lit if the flame is blown out
