KitchenAid 30" Downdraft Induction Cooktop

Yes, the downdraft system requires ductwork to be installed beneath the cooktop to exhaust air outside of your home. It is designed for island or peninsula installations where traditional overhead hoods are not feasible.

Induction cooktops only work with magnetic cookware. If a magnet sticks firmly to the bottom of your pot or pan, it will work; otherwise, you will need to invest in induction-compatible stainless steel or cast iron.

The grease filter is conveniently dishwasher-safe. Simply remove it from the vent intake and place it in your dishwasher for easy maintenance.

Flush installation means the cooktop is mounted level with your countertop surface rather than sitting on top of it. This creates a seamless, modern look and makes wiping crumbs directly into the sink or trash much easier.

The cooktop features sensors that detect the heat and steam levels being produced by your cooking. It automatically adjusts the fan speed to ensure optimal air quality without you needing to manually toggle the controls.

Because induction technology heats the cookware rather than the surface itself, spills are less likely to bake onto the glass. You can easily wipe the surface clean with a damp cloth or a dedicated ceramic glass cleaner once the unit has cooled.
