• KitchenAid® 36" Retractable Downdraft System – integrates seamlessly behind the cooktop, rising from the countertop when needed and retracting to stay flush when not in use for a clean, unobstructed look.

• Retractable Downdraft Design – remains hidden in the countertop until activated, then elevates behind the cooking surface to draw smoke, steam and odors directly from pots and pans.

• 585 CFM Motor Class* Ventilation System – delivers powerful airflow to help capture smoke, grease and cooking odors from everyday simmering to high‑heat searing and stir‑frying.

• 65,000 BTU Rating compatibility – designed to be installed with most 36" or 30" cooktops, including many commercial‑style models up to a total of 65,000 BTUs.

• 13.5" rise height – extends a full 13.5" above the countertop to improve capture of steam and smoke, especially from tall stockpots and large cookware.

• 4‑speed slide control – lets you quickly choose from multiple fan speeds so you can match ventilation power to light simmering, everyday cooking or heavy frying.

• Hidden push‑button controls – keeps controls discreetly out of sight when the unit is retracted, preserving a streamlined, built‑in appearance.

• Mesh grease filters – removable metal filters trap grease and particulates to help keep kitchen air fresher and reduce residue on cabinets and countertops.

• Easy‑to‑clean filter design – filters can be taken out for regular cleaning, helping maintain airflow performance and long‑term efficiency.

• Reversible motor box – allows the blower housing to be installed on either side of the downdraft unit, giving flexibility to work around cabinet layouts, drawers or obstacles.

• Exterior venting configuration – designed to exhaust air to the outside of the home, helping remove heat, moisture and odors rather than recirculating them indoors.

• Vertical 6" round duct connection – standard duct size and vertical discharge simplify planning and connection to existing or new ductwork.

• Centrifugal blower type – uses a centrifugal fan design to move air efficiently and quietly through the duct system.

• Stainless steel construction – durable, corrosion‑resistant stainless steel finish coordinates with a wide range of KitchenAid® and other stainless kitchen appliances.

• 36" common width – sized to pair with most 36" cooktops and ranges while fitting into standard cabinet configurations.

• Compact depth and under‑counter profile – engineered to fit within typical base cabinet dimensions, helping preserve storage space and design options.

• Helps protect kitchen surfaces – effective capture of grease and steam reduces buildup on walls, cabinets and ceilings, cutting down on cleaning time.

• Supports open‑concept kitchen layouts – downdraft design eliminates the need for an overhead hood, preserving sightlines to islands, peninsulas and living areas.

• Ideal for island or peninsula installations – provides a ventilation solution where traditional wall‑mount or ceiling‑mount hoods are difficult or visually intrusive.

• 120V, 60 Hz, 15‑amp electrical requirement – connects to a standard household circuit, simplifying electrical planning for remodels and new installations.

• Prop 65 compliant – meets California Proposition 65 requirements, with appropriate safety disclosures for informed installation and use.

• Performance varies by installation* – system is designed to work effectively across a range of duct lengths and configurations when installed according to manufacturer guidelines.
