At a Glance

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.

Convertible to Duct-Free Ventilation

• Allows a downdraft cooktop to be placed 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.

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. A duct-free kit is available for purchase separately.
