KitchenAid - 36" Gas Cooktop - Stainless Steel

36" 5 Burner Gas Downdraft Cooktop

Key Features and Benefits: 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. 3-speed fan control Can be precisely matched to cooking needs, effectively removing steam, grease, and odors from the air. 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. Full-width cast-iron grates Enhance the beautiful look of the cooktop and allow easy movement of cookware around the entire cooking surface. 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. 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. 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. Stainless steel knobs Enhance the look of the cooktop surface with sturdy construction that adds to their premium feel.
