Description

This KitchenAid gas cooktop has an integrated downdraft ventilation system, a convenient feature that'll spare you the purchase of a separate hood. It filters smoke and smells and redirects everything outside. It can also recirculate filtered air indoors when equipped with a duct-free kit, which can be purchased separately. The 3-speed fan is made to suit your cooking needs, while the 300 CFM evacuation rate complies with the ventilation requirements for searing and stir-frying. The appliance has powerful 15,000-BTU and 17,000-BTU burners that quickly bring water to a boil. There's also a 5000-BTU Even-Heat burner to properly simmer sauces, or melt butter and chocolate without scorching. The reliable cooktop has a pilotless electronic ignition system and an automatic reignition feature to ensure that the burner is relit if the flame goes 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

We are replacing all major appliances with Kitchenaid. I would like to know if the 36" gas cooktop has a griddle option. In other words, can I purchase a griiddle separately that would work with this model.

KitchenAid Downdraft Gas Cooktop - 5 Burners - 36-in - Stainless Steel is rated 4.7 out of 5 by 276.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Moose from Perfect Addition for Recent Kitchen Remodel [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My home is 30 years old and my cook top was the last kitchen appliance to replace. I originally had a Jenn Air 4 burner downdraft which was electric and decided to switch to gas instead. I love this cook top! I have had very little problem transitioning from electric to gas and I love every part of this cook top thus far. Plenty of burners, love that the downdraft has three different speeds to choose from and clean up has been a breeze. I had researched downdraft cook tops for quite a long time prior to the purchase and am very pleased that I chose this one!

Rated 5 out of 5 by CATNVol from Excellent Quality and Well Packaged You don't have many choices these days on downdraft gas cooktops but I was still impressed with the build quality of the 36" Kitchenaid. All parts appear to be well made and now that I have it installed it works like a charm. Some reviews complain of the fan noise but I don't find it any worse than the Jennair it replaced. Some may question why my title included the "well packed" comment but I was very pleased with how well it was packed. The outer box was very well constructed and the inner packing and foam was heavy duty and well made as well. The Kitchenaid engineers spent some time making sure it was packed for individual shipment without damage.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Steve from multi burners each with progressive BTUs [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you must have a downdraft Cooktop this one was easy to install. My only issue was the gas line. The gas line came out of the wall 6" & butted up against vent body so I had to shorten the pipe and direct it away from the body. Measure before you start because you may have to have a pro move the gas line! The cooktop works very well, my wife truly loves it. The exhaust vent is very efficient as well. Use white vinegar on the stainless steel to keep it looking new.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Christina from Love My New Cooktop [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I suffered with an electric cook top for years because I could never find a gas cook top that was big enough but didn't require a separate downdraft. But after deciding to change my counter tops to quartz, I began another hunt for a gas cook top that would fit in my island. I was so happy to see that Kitchenaid had come out with a gas cook top that had a fifth burner AND a builtin downdraft. I've been cooking on this cook top since October and I love it! It's very beautiful and wonderful to cook on. I love the various burner flame sizes and clean up is a snap. In fact, that's the best part of all. The clean up of splatter and grease is quick and easy. I highly recommend this product!

Rated 5 out of 5 by cjhughes80 from Has a high end look [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I finally gave in and replaced my old cooktop. Since my old cooktop had a downdraft vent, my choices were more limited. This cooktop is really nice! The five burners is an upgrade for me from four. Even though the granite counter had to be cut slightly to accommodate the size, it was well worth it. The cooktop is very easy to clean. And the vent cavity is large enough to be able to easily clean. Another nice feature is the solid knobs which have a very high quality feel. The smallest burner has an interchangeable part to allow low heating of chocolate sauce dr similar ingredients which are easy to burn.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Woodie from Kichenaid 36" Gas Cooktop w/downdraft I searched for a cooktop with a built-in downdraft system for months. Of all the cooktops I reasearched this particular KitchenAid was declared the best by many industry experts. After installing it and using it for a month, I can affirm the claims. It's functional, extremely well designed and built, and most importantly the downdraft system is amazing. It pulls the steam vapor and odors out of the kitchen really well. I'm very pleased!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by BobLaurel from Perfect Addition for Our Recent Kitchen Remodel [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We are replacing the original cook top in our kitchen (which was a 4 burner electric Jenn Air) due to a recent kitchen renovation. Because of the reno, we selected this 5 burner downdraft which also meant changing from electric to gas as the original 4 burner was electric. We LOVE our new gas cook top. The downdraft has 3 speeds which is so nice having the selection of different speeds. There was very little transition from changing from electric to gas cooking. Cooking is fun again. Very happy with our purchase. Cleanup is easy and cook top works great. We did lots of research before making our selection and this is better than we anticipated. It's a win-win for us on this cooktop.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Joev13 from BarbJoe [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The unit works just as suggested, the 5th burner (oversized) is great for large pots and it's been used multiple times since our purchase. The only issue we have with the cooktop is the lack of a good solution for cleaning the surface. An SOS pad was needed to remove some stain from a burn (near the burner itself) so not really visible, however we are aware that this is not the recommended solution. We'll overflow a pot at some point and while we'll get after the cleaning process quickly I'm still anticipating some staining that we'll not be able to remove without a more stringent solution.
