Versatile Cooking with Powerful Performance

The four induction zones on the KitchenAid KCID936SBL cooktop let you prepare several dishes simultaneously. The Bridge XL Even-Heat™ Zone turns the KitchenAid KCID936SBL cooktop into a flexible cooking surface, helping you prepare elaborate meals with ease. When boiling water or searing expensive cuts of meat, use the Power Boost function to achieve higher temperatures for up to five minutes. Regardless of which zone you’re using, the appliance will automatically recognize the cookware’s exact size and placement. After you’ve placed the cookware down and turned on the heat, an indicator light instantly illuminates. While you cook, a hot-surface light remains on until the surface is turned off and the zone has cooled to a safe temperature.

A Reliable Ventilation System for Fresher Kitchen Air

The KitchenAid KCID936SBL cooktop wouldn’t be complete without its downdraft ventilation. Instead of a ventilation hood placed overhead, the included downdraft effectively removes steam, smoke and unwanted odors from the air as you cook. As the system runs, advanced airflow technology works with a low-noise fan to reduce operational sounds. Now, prepare dinner while catching up with loved ones as the downdraft system promotes cleaner air.
