KitchenAid KCGD506GSS 36" Gas Downdraft Cooktop with 5 Burners
Streamline your kitchen layout with the KitchenAid KCGD506GSS gas downdraft cooktop. This appliance is both a cooking surface and a downdraft, removing grease, smoke and odors from the air while you cook. It features five burners that give you the power to cook multiple dishes at once, with different power levels for more flexibility. The 5,000 BTU Even-Heat™ burner is for delicate, precise simmering or melting, with a special design that controls the flame; a wider burner cap diffuses the flame to create gentler heat. On the other hand, the 15,000 BTU and 17,000 Professional burners are incredibly powerful, making them ideal for searing, stir-frying and more.
The Power of Two Appliances
Ventilation is essential in any kitchen, but finding a solution that flows with your layout can be difficult. The KitchenAid KCGD506GSS cooktop's integrated downdraft offers ventilation for smoke, grease and odors without having to install a separate downdraft or hood. Its 300 CFM rating means its ventilation is powerful enough to handle high-temperature cooking like searing. Additionally, 3-speed fan control adapts the fan's power to your cooking, so it effectively cleans without extinguishing the cooktop flame. This cooktop can clean the air no matter your kitchen's layout thanks to the optional duct-free conversion kit (sold separately) if you're unable to vent the cooktop outside.

Combining two appliances in one elevates your kitchen and maximizes your space, whether or not you have a small kitchen. Additional features make the KCGD506GSS even better: the durable, full-width cast-iron grates look great and let you easily move your cookware across the cooking surface. Stainless steel knobs look and feel premium, offering durability where you need it most.

Features
- 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. - 3-Speed Fan Control
Can be precisely matched to cooking needs, effectively removing steam, grease, and odors from the air. - 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. - Electronic Ignition and Automatic Re-Ignition

Enhance the beautiful look of the cooktop and allow easy movement of cookware around the entire cooking surface. - 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. - 5K BTU Even-Heat™ Simmer Burner
A diffuser plate allows more control of the flame at the lowest setting, for more precise simmering and melting. - 300 CFM Exhaust Rating
Handles the venting requirements of high temperature cooking techniques like pan searing and stir-frying. - 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. - 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. - Stainless Steel Knobs
Enhance the look of the cooktop surface with sturdy construction that adds to their premium feel. - LP Conversion Kit
Allows you to convert the cooktop so it can be used with LP gas.
