KitchenAid 30-in 4 burners Stainless Steel Gas Cooktop with Downdraft Exhaust

This 30” gas cooktop includes Downdraft, an integrated ventilation system that doesn’t require a separate hood. The cooktop features a 17K BTU professional burner to achieve both high heat needed for searing and low simmer settings. The 5K BTU Even-Heat™ Simmer Burner enables precise simmering and melting while the 300 CFM exhaust rating means the venting can handle it all.

•     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™ 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 Burner reaches temperatures needed for searing and quick boiling
•     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 relit if the flame is blown out
