KitchenAid KCGD500GSS 30" Downdraft Gas Cooktop - Stainless Steel

When you want to spice things up in the kitchen with a cooktop straight out of a 5-star restaurant, you'll love the KitchenAid Stainless Steel 30'' Downdraft Gas Cooktop. This gas cooktop features an integrated downdraft ventilation system, so you don't need a separate vent hood. The 17K BTU professional burner gives you the high heat needed for searing steak and low simmer settings that are perfect for sauces. The 5K BTU Even-Heat Simmer Burner gives you precise simmering and melting while the 300 CFM exhaust fan means the venting can handle it all.

Designed For Your Kitchen
The KitchenAid Stainless Steel 30'' Downdraft Gas Cooktop integrates the vent into the cooking surface so you won't need a separate vent hood. The 3-speed, 300 CFM fan gives you precise venting for removing steam, grease and odors from the air. Being convertible to duct-free ventilation allows the downdraft cooktop to be placed nearly anywhere in the kitchen using a duct-free conversion kit. The duct-free kit is not included.

The Right Heat For Your Food
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. The 5K BTU Even-Heat™ Simmer Burner features a diffuser plate that allows more control of the flame at the lowest setting, for more precise simmering and melting. The 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.

Make Cooking Easier
Full-Width Cast-Iron Grates enhance the beautiful look of the cooktop and allow easy movement of cookware around the entire cooking surface. The included LP Conversion Kit allows you to convert the cooktop so it can be used with LP gas. Stainless Steel knobs enhance the look of the cooktop surface with sturdy construction that adds to their premium feel. Electronic Ignition and Automatic Re-ignition lights burners with an electric spark instead of a pilot light.
