Description
36-in KitchenAid 5 Burner Stainless Steel Gas Cooktop with Downdraft Exhaust
Model #KCGD506GSS
CM2638
This 36” 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 captures smoke/odors at the surface
- 17K BTU burner allows high temperatures for searing as well as low simmer
- 5K BTU Even-Heat™ simmer burner with a diffuser plate
- 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) Can NOT be installed above a wall oven.
- 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
