The KitchenAid KCED606GSS is a versatile 36-inch electric downdraft cooktop designed to eliminate the need for a separate hood. Featuring 5 radiant cooking elements, it includes a powerful 10"/6" Even-Heat™ Ultra Element with Simmer Setting for both rapid boiling and gentle simmering. The 3-speed downdraft ventilation system effectively removes smoke, steam, and odors at the cooking surface, and can be converted to duct-free operation with an optional kit. The Hot Surface Indicator lights enhance safety by clearly signaling active heating zones. Elegant Stainless Steel trim complements the black ceramic glass surface, which is smooth, modern, and easy to clean. Metal control knobs provide precise control and a premium feel, while the 6" Even-Heat™ element and double-ring elements ensure flexibility across cookware sizes. Whether placed in an island or against a wall, the KCED606GSS delivers high performance with built-in ventilation for a refined, unobtrusive kitchen solution.
Provides more versatility for high and low temperature cooking techniques. Even-Heat(TM) Technology maintains a constant supply of power and delivers a range of simmer settings.
Lets you use different cookware sizes at one location. When using large, 12-inch cookware the entire element surface is used. For smaller cookware, you ll use only the 9-inch inner element.
Can be precisely matched to cooking needs, effectively removing steam, grease, and odors from the air.
Combines the benefits of Even-Heat(TM) Technology with a dedicated setting that reaches the low temperatures needed to melt chocolate or butter without scorching.
Efficiently heats a commonly used pan size and can reach a power output of up to 1800 watts for every day use.
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.
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.
Provides a clear indication that lets you know if any cooking surface is on or still hot.
Comes in saturated colors with stainless steel control knobs for a sophisticated, easy-to-clean appearance.
