KitchenAid 36" Five-Burner Gas Cooktop - KCGD506GSS

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.
