• JennAir® Induction Cooking Technology – delivers gas-like precision with rapid response and fine low-heat control on a sleek, easy‑to‑clean glass surface.

• Oblivion Glass Design – deep black glass surface that visually blends into the countertop for a modern, minimalist look.

• Infinite Design Potential – slim downdraft profile frees you from overhead hoods, enabling open sight lines, floating islands and flexible kitchen layouts.

• Flexible Installation – supports true flush or semi‑flush installation (3 mm above counter) on most countertop materials, including islands and peninsulas.

• Semi‑Flush Installation – creates a subtle 3 mm reveal above the countertop for a refined, built‑in appearance.

• True Flush Installation – allows the cooktop to sit level with the countertop edge for a seamless, integrated surface.

• Quiet Ventilation Technology – precision‑engineered low‑noise fan and weight‑balanced blades provide powerful extraction with significantly reduced operating noise.

• Powerful and Effective Extraction for Cleaner Air – integrated 345 CFM downdraft system pulls steam and odors directly from the cooking surface, helping clear the air up to several times faster than rising steam.

• Flexible Venting Option – supports exterior venting or recirculating installation (with kit), so you can adapt to different kitchen layouts and ducting constraints.

• Downdraft Ventilation – built‑in vent draws smoke, steam and grease down through the cooktop, eliminating the need for a traditional overhead hood.

• Charcoal Filter System – recirculating charcoal filter helps neutralize cooking odors, including strong smells like fish, for a more pleasant kitchen environment.

• Dishwasher Safe Grease Filter – high‑efficiency metal grease filter captures up to 96% of grease and can be cleaned easily in the dishwasher.

• Dishwasher‑safe components – removable parts such as the air inlet nozzle and grease filter are dishwasher‑safe for quick, convenient maintenance.

• Filter Replacement Reminder – display indicator shows “F” in recirculation mode when it’s time to replace the charcoal filter, ensuring continued performance.

• ENERGY STAR® Certified – exceeds federal energy efficiency standards to help reduce energy consumption and utility costs.

• ADA Compliant design – front electronic touch controls and accessible configuration support installation that meets applicable ADA guidelines.

• Emotive Touch Controls – white LED touch controls with vertical slider bars provide intuitive, responsive power adjustment and clear feedback at a glance.

• Tap‑touch vertical slider power control – slide or tap to select among multiple power levels quickly and precisely for each cooking zone.

• Assisted Cooking modes – preset temperature options (such as melt, keep warm and simmer) help maintain ideal heat for delicate tasks without constant monitoring.

• Power Boost function – temporarily increases element output (up to about 3000 W per zone) to rapidly boil water or sear foods, then returns to the previous setting.

• Four induction cooking zones – four powerful elements provide flexible cooking capacity for multiple pots and pans at once.

• XL cooking zones – large‑format induction zones accommodate bigger cookware and, when bridged, create expansive heating areas for griddles or roasting pans.

• Automatic Pan Detection – sensors detect induction‑compatible cookware, activating the appropriate zone and turning it off when the pan is removed for added safety and efficiency.

• Automatic Bridging – when a large pan or griddle spans two zones, the cooktop automatically links them and synchronizes controls for uniform heating.

• All‑induction surface – every burner uses induction technology for fast heating, precise control and a cooler cooktop surface around the pans.

• Keep Warm setting – maintains low, steady heat to keep dishes warm without overcooking.

• Melt function – delivers ultra‑low, stable heat ideal for melting chocolate, butter or delicate sauces without scorching.

• Simmer function – holds gentle, consistent simmering temperatures for soups, stews and sauces.

• Automatic Shutdown – safety feature turns off zones after a period of inactivity or if certain fault conditions are detected.

• Cooking Pause – pauses all active cooking zones for up to 10 minutes, then resumes previous settings with a single touch.

• Control Lock function – disables the control panel to prevent accidental activation or changes, enhancing safety around children and during cleaning.

• Control Lock‑Out for Cleaning – temporarily locks controls for about 10 seconds, allowing you to wipe the surface without unintentionally changing settings.

• Kitchen Timer – built‑in minute timer counts down and alerts you when it’s time to check or remove food.

• Timer per cooktop – allows timed cooking assistance independent of external timers or appliances.

• Multiple ventilation speeds – several fan speed levels let you match extraction power to the amount of steam and smoke produced.

• Auto After‑Run fan function – keeps the ventilation fan running at a low level for a user‑selectable time (factory‑set around 20 minutes) after cooking to clear lingering odors and humidity.

• Convertible to duct‑free ventilation – with an optional recirculation kit, the system can operate without exterior ducting, ideal for condos or difficult installations.

• Rectangular duct compatibility – designed to connect to standard rectangular ducting for straightforward integration with existing ventilation runs.

• Front control location – keeps all controls within easy reach without reaching over hot cookware.

• Black ceramic glass surface – smooth, durable surface is easy to wipe clean and complements modern kitchen aesthetics.

• All‑burner configuration – full cooktop area is dedicated to active induction zones, maximizing usable cooking space.

• Electric induction fuel type – uses electromagnetic energy rather than open flame or exposed coils, improving efficiency and reducing ambient kitchen heat.

• 208/240 V compatibility – supports common North American residential electrical supplies for flexible installation.

• High total power output – up to approximately 7600 W total connected load for strong, responsive cooking performance across multiple zones.

• 9 or more power levels – fine‑grained power steps allow precise control from gentle warming to high‑heat searing.

• Downdraft grease and odor capture at source – pulls contaminants directly from the cooking surface before they can spread through the kitchen.
