JennAir Revealed a New Downdraft Induction Cooktop

Innovation is the DNA of JennAir, with its founder, Lou Jenn, tearing down the barriers that limited designers and architects. This ingenious thinking brought downdraft ventilation to the kitchen, which changed design forever. Now, the brand is expanding on its downdraft lineup with the JennAir^® Downdraft Induction Cooktop. 

This product was developed in tandem with BORA to bring the best in ventilation technology to JennAir. Combining the power of induction with the quiet of downdraft ventilation, this cooktop—with its slim profile and striking lines—unlocks new horizons in the kitchen and infinite design potential.

The cooktop itself comes equipped with Flex-Choice^™ XL Zones. The expanded elements allow users to enable Automatic Bridging and Assisted Cooking options to deliver exceptional results every time.

Integrated downdraft ventilation allows designers and industry professionals to discover quiet innovation, featuring efficient airflow technology and a precision-engineered low-noise fan. Its weight-balanced blades are the secret to a quiet yet powerful extraction, perfect for the modern, peaceful kitchen. By removing the need for an overhead hood, there are greater opportunities to revolutionize the kitchen’s design. 

At KBIS 2025, the induction downdraft cooktop was the centerpiece for an immersive cooking demonstration, preparing a dish as mesmerizing as the downdraft technology.

This striking display also drew notable attention and stood out among the other innovations showcased at KBIS 2025, with the JennAir^® Downdraft Induction Cooktop receiving a Best of KBIS 2025 Reviewed Award from Reviewed and received a Best in Show Award from The Kitchn.
