Product Overview

Product Overview

Allows you to go from one small flame for precise simmering to a dual flame for powerful boiling, all on the same burner.

Removable Griddle Included

Provides a one-piece flat surface that can be used on the right, left, or center of the cooktop surface, and is ideal for making a range of dishes from crepes to quesadillas.

Multi-Finish Back-Lit Knobs

Deliver a beautiful accent with pleasant LED lights that let you know when the burner is in use.

6,000 BTU Even-Heat™ Simmer Burner

A diffuser plate allows more control of the flame at the lowest setting, for more precise simmering and melting.

20,000 BTU Professional Dual Ring Burner
LP Conversion Kit

Love it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am so happy with our new cooktop. It is beautiful and can boil a pot of water faster than anything I've ever cooked on before!

Extremely Dissapointed

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you intend to cook with multiple pots at the same time you will be disappointed that KitchenAid didn't take this into consideration with the spacing between burners. When using a large pan on front burners you run the risk of the knobs getting hot under the pan. Knobs are opposite on each side for high/low settings which is confusing. Reall...

    Disappointed

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We moved into a new home two months ago and all our cooking appliances are by KitchenAid. We have been very happy with 3 out of the 4 products. The cooktop has been a disappointment. The front right burner has not worked since the get-go. KitchenAid sent two different technicians two different times. Neither one could fix it. A third visit is in the works. This is not going well and I do not have confidence this product.

    Nice but lacking helpful instructions

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The knobs on the cooktop turn counterclockwise instead of clockwise. Counter intuitive. The text for each of the knobs is hard to read. There is a melting pad included for placing on one of the burners. There are no instructions on where or how to use. The griddle instructions do not specify or suggest which oils are recommended for seasoning. The griddle instructions do not assist in telling which burners are best for grilling.

    Easy to clean.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I made this purchase for our new build. It looks great in our kitchen and performs just as it should. Very happy with this purchase. All my kitchen appliances are Kitchenaid and I couldn’t be more happy.

    Not my ideal cooktop

    Thought this cooktop would be a beautiful addition to our remodeled kitchen.we have used it for six months.My husband likes the fast start and the amount of pressure it puts out. However, the brushed metal surface is very difficult to clean. Paper towels and cloths get caught on the rough stainless steel. Two of the burners only come apart with a screwdriver to be able to clean under them. The griddle is not of good quality.Had I known these issues I wound not have purchased it.

    Wide area

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this back in December 2024 for a remodel and happy we did. The size is great for cooking as it is wide enough for two people to stand and work side by side. Feels like I am in an real chef's kitchen.

    Great stovetop!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We replaced our old Kitchen Aid gas top stove with this newer model. We LOVE it! It came with the griddle which evenly cooks—we have used it with different meats and breakfast such as pancakes. I also love the burner that allows me to melt chocolate or simmer food. The controls also light up when we are using the burner, another plus. Overall, we are very satisfied with our new stovetop!

    Power and Flexibility

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This cooktop is amazing! The power burner and torch burner give great control and flexibility and the extra large cap for the melt burner is awesome! We are so happy we spent a little more and got this cooktop.

    Power and Flexibility

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just installed this in our new kitchen and LOVE IT! We were frustrated with the lack of large burner options on traditional gas ranges, so we decided to go with this cooktop and designed our kitchen around it. Couldn't be happier with the power of the burners as well as the flexibility.

    Seems sturdy but could use some design adjustments

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The grates are heavy duty, the cooktop is beautiful. My only two complaints are the knobs become VERY hot when using the front burners (I have to use ann oven mitt to adjust the knob), and the marking for each knob seems easy to remove if cleaned often.
