KitchenAid 36" Electric Downdraft Cooktop with Five Burners
X Close
KitchenAid's KCED606 is unique among downdraft cooktops. Unlike most, this 36" wide model has a full compliment of five burners, so there are very few compromises that come with the addition of its downdraft ventilation functionality. The included blower mechanism provides the equivalent of 300 CFM of ventilation power, and removes smoke, steam, and odors from your cooking without the need for an overhead hood.
Featuring KitchenAid's Even-Heat Ultra system, which uses intelligent element cycling to achieve consistent levels of heat, this cooktop is extra versatile. The largest burner provides a powerful 3200 watts of output, but the melt and simmer settings on the smaller burners are also capable of low heat for more delicate tasks. A dual size element is also provided which is two sizes in one, giving you the ability to use it with a wide array of cookware sizes.
The stainless steel control knobs enhance the look of this cooktop, and are easily removable and also easy to clean. The control area has a digital hot surface indicator to show which burners are still hot after use.
This model is equipped for ducted, outside ventilation. However, it can also be converted for recirculating operation, venting out the toe kick portion of your cabinet.
Please note that downdraft appliances have exacting installation and cutout requirements. Read the manufacturer supplied documentation carefully to verify that this model is appropriate for your application.
Installation may require duct modification,
cabinet modification, or countertop modification. Installation services are not available on downdraft products.
