10'' Even-Heat™ Ultra Element with Simmer Setting
Provides more versatility for high and low temperature cooking techniques. Even-Heat(TM) Technology maintains a constant supply of power and delivers a range of simmer settings.
12''/9'' Double-Ring Element
Lets you use different cookware sizes at one location. When using large, 12-inch cookware the entire element surface is used. For smaller cookware, you ll use only the 9-inch inner element.
3-Speed Fan Control
Can be precisely matched to cooking needs, effectively removing steam, grease, and odors from the air.
6'' Even-Heat™ Element with Melt Setting
Combines the benefits of Even-Heat(TM) Technology with a dedicated setting that reaches the low temperatures needed to melt chocolate or butter without scorching.
8'' Round Element
Efficiently heats a commonly used pan size and can reach a power output of up to 1800 watts for every day use.
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.
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.
Hot-Surface Indicator
Provides a clear indication that lets you know if any cooking surface is on or still hot.
Pure Color Ceramic-Glass Surface
Comes in saturated colors with stainless steel control knobs for a sophisticated, easy-to-clean appearance.

Looks good works ok

We purchased this because we weren’t ready to do major demo. Our existing cooktop is downdraft and the choices were limited. We purchased other appliances through KitcheAid so decided to go with them. We were however disappointed to see that the cooktop does not sit flush on our countertop something they could have disclosed before purchase. There is a quarter inch gap allowing food and fluids to seep through. Also the downdraft feature is very poor and unless you are using the burner closest to the vent, it’s useless. My opinion this was an overpriced low quality purchase.

I purchased this cooktop to replace an old Kitchenaid cooktop a couple of weeks ago. The burners are already showing a discoloration that seems to be below the glass surface, not burnt on food. The ultra heat burners are difficult to control heat and are too hot, damaging my cookware.

Air Grill Chips

I have owned this cooktop for 4 years. It cooks quickly and efficiently. The downdraft does work very well. The only problem is cosmetic. The metal air grill is constructed poorly and the paint started chipping off that first year. It was only a small chip the first year, but a huge chip just came off at year 4. And I haven't ever used harsh chemicals or rubbed the grill vigorously when I cleaned it.
