JennAir brand offers an impressive line of cooktops. Recently, the brand expanded its downdraft lineup with the launch of the JennAir® NextGen Induction Downdraft Cooktop. Developed in collaboration with BORA, this innovative cooktop combines the quiet operation of downdraft ventilation with the power of induction cooking technology.
JennAir brand has been a leader in cooktop innovation since 1965, with the introduction of downdraft ventilation, which eliminated the need for a hood and revolutionized kitchen design. By bringing to market the JennAir® NextGen Induction Downdraft Cooktop, the brand is offering exciting new benefits:
Cleaner Air Via Effective and Powerful Extraction: Powerful downward extraction helps remove steam and odours five times faster than the steam can rise. This helps contribute to a healthier and more appealing kitchen.
Infinite design potential: Our downdraft cooktops help unlock true design freedom. Its slim profile and optional recirculation installation remove the need for cabinet constraints and bulky hoods, creating the opportunity for floating islands to become a reality.
Operates as quietly as 30dBA: Noise from the ventilation system is minimized thanks to sound-reducing technology, such as a low-noise fan and efficient airflow.
LIMITLESS DESIGN
Expanding the current gas and electric radiant downdraft collection to include a new fuel-type offering delivers even more features. The JennAir® NextGen Induction Downdraft Cooktop is available in both 30-inch and 36-inch Oblivion Glass Design, and owners have the option to install it flush or slightly above the countertop.
Cooktops need 12-inch clearance on both sides and 19 inches to the upper cabinets and shelves. This provides unobstructed backsplashes, even more kitchen space, and the opportunity for statement lighting. Additionally, the slim profile offers more storage opportunities and can make floating islands a reality.
ENDLESS DESIGN POTENTIAL
The new JennAir® NextGen Induction Downdraft Cooktop offers a variety of benefits and features, emphasizing the desire for infinite design potential.
Without a bulky updraft hood, you can explore stunning open concept designs that may include a kitchen island or peninsula.
Other options to explore in place of an updraft hood include:
Additional cabinetry
Statement lighting
Shelving for storage
CLEAN AIR WITHOUT THE NOISE OF A HOOD
A 345 CFM downdraft system, equipped with features like Automatic Extraction and Automatic After-Run, helps prevent odours, steam, and grease from permeating the kitchen and then other rooms.
This system automatically removes cooking odours and residual humidity that occur before and after cooking. The ventilation system leverages sound-reducing technology to help minimize the noise it produces, so it can run as low as 30 dBA.
EFFECTIVE AND POWERFUL EXTRACTION
You can choose between two venting options:
Exterior ventilation
Recirculation with a charcoal filter accessory
These venting options help remove steam and odours five times faster than the steam can rise. Learn more about installing a recirculation kit.
The ventilation system includes an extractor cover, stainless steel grease filter, and cover flap on the exterior extraction, all of which are dishwasher-safe. Recirculating models have an easily accessible charcoal filter, which is recommended to be replaced annually.
MORE SPACE FOR LARGER POTS AND PANS
The JennAir brand offers automatic bridging, an exclusive feature that’s able to handle larger pots and pans in addition to full-sized griddles. The 30-inch cooktop has one Flex-Choice™ XL and two round induction cooking zones, whereas the 36-inch cooktop has two Flex-Choice™ XL induction cooking zones.
INTUITIVE OPERATION
A vertical slider lets you operate the cooktop by simply swiping your finger up or down or tapping the controls. Vital functions, such as Automatic Bridge Function, Cookware Auto-Detection, and Assisted Cooking, only require a single touch for operation.
Cookware Auto-Detection utilizes sensors to automatically detect the cooking zone in use, and subsequently, lights up controls for easy access. When an expanded zone for larger cookware is needed, the Automatic Bridge Function detects when a griddle or large pan is being used and modifies the controls automatically, turning two adjoining cooking zones into one large area. Furthermore, Assisted Cooking provides optimal power levels to boil, melt, or simmer any dish.
UNLOCK NEW HORIZONS IN THE KITCHEN
From inventing downdraft ventilation and bespoke configurations to industry-first exclusives, JennAir brand breaks barriers in the world of kitchen design. With its powerful features, slim profile, and striking lines, JennAir brand is again modernizing kitchens with the arrival of the newest NextGen induction downdraft cooktop.
