An integrated downdraft hood means that no external hood is required for this range. The center mounted downdraft vent pulls away smoke, steam, and odors to vent outside. A gas cooking surface provides control and cooking speed, while an electric oven is efficient and heats evenly. This dual fuel model has both.
The KSDB950 features convection KitchenAid's Even-Heat convection. The main oven compartment heats with three elements, including a third element behind the convection fan for consistent distribution of hot air inside. Intelligent heat control and preheating means that temperature is maintained in all areas of the oven, including the racks, floor, and walls. It even compensates when you open the oven door! Count on it for perfect baking, roasting, and broiling without burned or undercooked areas.
The included steam rack lets you add moisture to the air in the oven to improve the results of certain types of baking. Also, a wireless temperature probe is provided which allows you to set your oven and walk away -- you can monitor internal temperature from a distance while you work elsewhere.
On top there is room for a full compliment of four burners. The 17,000 BTU main burner is powerful and flexible, able to go from a simmer to a sear. Continuous cast iron grates accommodate any size of cookware and enable you to easily move on and off of burners.
Smart features like convection conversion and high speed steam cleaning make using this oven a snap. The SatinGlide Max oven racks move smoothly in and out on captive ball bearing rollers and allow easy loading and unloading --even with heavy dishes.
Optional available side trim accessory kits fit this model and cover damaged countertops, unfinished edges, or other leftovers from old slide-in ranges to make your kitchen beautiful again. (Sold separately.) This KitchenAid FIT system range is guaranteed via manufacturer rebate to fit existing 30" wide slide-in range cutouts.
Note: Downdraft ranges have exacting ventilation requirements. Please carefully check vent specifications prior to purchase and discuss with your contractor or installer. Installation services are not available on downdraft or ventilation appliances. Due to the presence of the downdraft mechanism, this range does not feature a drawer.
