JennAir Gas Downdraft Cooktops

Add a JennAir Downdraft Cooktop to Your Kitchen

A reliable cooktop is a crucial addition to any kitchen. However, these trusty appliances can produce smoke, odors and grease splatters in your home that can damage surfaces or aggravate respiratory conditions. Whether you don't have the wall space to accommodate a hood or you simply don't like the look, you should still have ventilation installed in your kitchen. Luckily, our JennAir downdraft cooktop offering has the ventilation equipment built into the appliance so you can maintain your kitchen's aesthetic. Having proper ventilation keeps your house clean and prevents adverse reactions to the fumes produced by cooking; downdrafts suck down odors, smoke, grease and more to prevent buildup on your kitchen appliances and cabinets while also improving your home's air quality. These cooktops are as beautiful as they are powerful; their brass burners lend a high-end look while also effectively directing heat to evenly and powerfully cook your favorite meals. The beautiful finish continues throughout thanks to JennAir's signature DuraFinish® Protection, which keeps the appliance's surface looking like new by adding stain and scratch resistance. Such features extend the life of your appliance and make the entire cooking process more enjoyable. You'll feel transported to your favorite cooking show every time you ignite one of the powerful burners on your JennAir downdraft cooktop. Each of these cooktops has a high output and a low output burner for searing and melting to instantly elevate every meal. Melt butter or chocolate for baking or sear the outside of a juicy steak to delight your dinner guests. With three exhaust speeds to choose from, you'll be able to choose the setting that matches the amount of smoke or steam your meal is producing—cooking a delicate piece of fish might not require as much ventilation power as using a smoky grill pan inside. All JennAir gas downdraft cooktops have the option to convert to duct-free ventilation as well.

Choosing a JennAir Downdraft Cooktop

Let's start with the finish: if most of your appliances are stainless steel, a stainless steel cooktop will create a cohesive look in your kitchen. If you're not a fan of silver, we also offer sleek black options that are great for blending into a granite kitchen island to create a high end look. One of the most important things to consider before purchasing a new gas cooktop is the number of burners you need. Do you have a large space to fill or do you often cook multi-course meals? You might want more than the standard four burners. Of course, even if you can only fit a standard size stove top in your home, you'll still enjoy the superior quality of a JennAir appliance.
