Get all the cooking power you can handle with this 36-inch five-burner gas cooktop from KitchenAid. The downdraft ventilation system is built-in to conveniently remove smoke and odours, keeping your kitchen air clean with three fan speeds and a 300 CFM exhaust rating. Light all five burners with an electric spark instead of a pilot light, and for a more consistent performance, burners are re-lit if the flame is accidentally blown out. Add a touch of finesse to your kitchen with stainless steel knobs and full-width cast-iron grates.

Unique Features
Downdraft Ventilation: This feature integrates the ventilation system into the cooking surface so that a separate hood is not needed. Smoke and odours can be removed and taken outside or filtered and recirculated inside. 17,000 BTU Professional Burner: This powerful 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. 5,000 BTU Even-Heat™ Simmer Burner: A diffuser plate allows more control of the flame at the lowest setting, for more precise simmering and melting. Three-Speed Fan Control: Three speed options precisely match your cooking needs, effectively removing steam, grease, and odours from the air. Convertible to Duct-Free Ventilation: Place your downdraft cooktop nearly anywhere in the kitchen using a duct-free conversion kit (not included). This filters and recirculates the air without running ductwork, ideal for kitchens with installation restrictions or ducting limitations. 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: Light burners with an electric spark instead of a pilot light. For more reliable performance, burners are relit if the flame is blown out. Stainless Steel Knobs: Enhance the style of the cooktop surface with sturdy construction that adds to premium feel. Full-Width Cast-Iron Grates: Upgrade the beautiful look of the cooktop and allow easy movement of cookware around the entire cooking surface.
