To provide proper ventilation and eliminate lingering odors, partner the range with a range hood. Some kitchen layouts allow for a cooktop to be paired with one or more wall ovens. Wall ovens come in various sizes and combinations of single or double ovens, while a convenient warming drawer, steam, speed or sous vide feature can be added to create a masterful mix.

INNOVATION ABOUNDS

introducing induction innovation …

Cooking goes cutting-edge with the latest induction cooktops.

What is induction cooking and how does it work?

  • The term “induction” refers to a specific method for generating heat. While a traditional electric stove uses radiant heat to cook food and a microwave oven uses micro—or small energy—waves to do the same, an induction range uses electromagnetism to excite the molecules in cookware. This magnetic vibration field creates heat inside of pots or pans that then cook the food.
  • Next to professional gas cooktops and ranges, induction is a top choice. Discerning consumers choose induction for its cleanability, safety, speed and efficiency. The best part? There is an extensive assortment of induction cooktops and ranges to choose from that fit every space, budget and lifestyle.
  • To test if cookware is induction-ready, simply place a refrigerator magnet on the bottom of a pot or pan. If the magnet sticks, it will work perfectly with an induction cooktop.

What are the benefits of induction cooking?

Induction cooking is fast.

Because of the rapid response of the electromagnetic cycle induction works instantaneously, creating heat within pots and pans in seconds. Cooking with induction can shave up to 50-percent off of the average time it takes to cook a favorite meal.

Induction cooktops are smart.

If the appliance senses a boil over, most will turn off automatically. And because induction heats the cookware—not the glass surface—it is far less likely to cause cooking burns.

Induction cooking is safer.
  • Induction is the safest method of cooking, which makes it a great option for households with young children or aging family members. Because induction causes the cookware itself to heat up, there is no chance that it will be turned on accidentally because it won’t work without induction-ready cookware.
  • Induction cooktops are smart. If the appliance senses a boil over, most will turn off automatically. And because induction heats the cookware—not the glass surface—it is far less likely to cause cooking burn.
Induction cooking is planet-friendly.
  • Since induction cooking is faster than the traditional stovetop method, it uses less energy and generates almost no residual heat—any heat is found in the pot or pan itself, not the stovetop. This makes for less energy usage and lower utility bills.
  • Because it heats cookware right away, induction is the most energy-efficient cooking technology. It is said that 90-percent of induction heat reaches food, far exceeding standard gas or electric heating elements.
  • Induction also requires less ventilation so it’s a great solution for city dwellers or for homes where venting outside is not possible.
  • Induction cooktops and ranges may qualify for energy saving rebates.

hot from the oven

Today’s ovens are taking on more roles than ever before. With the rise of air fry, sous vide, toasting and steam cooking, as well as the popularity of microwave/wall oven combinations that microwave, bake, broil and more, consumers are looking to large appliances to take on multiple tasks that were previously designated to small countertop appliances—resulting in tidier workspaces and a more functional kitchen overall.
Single Wall Oven
These can be installed under a counter or even below a cooktop to maximize space and provide a flush, built-in design. Installation at counter height saves you from bending down. The single oven has just one cavity like that of a standard range.

SKU: SMEG SOU3300TX
Microwave oven combo
These are similar to the double oven, except the top appliance is a microwave oven, offering a single, compact unit. If you’re looking for two ovens but don’t have space for an additional microwave, consider a speed oven/wall oven combination. The top can function as a microwave or true convection oven.

SKU: Dacor DOC30T977DS
Double wall oven
These offer two ovens in one unit, allowing for cooking flexibility. Many double ovens have convection fans in one or both ovens. Double ovens are too large to install under the counter but are built-in to achieve a more seamless look. For added versatility, consider a convection steam oven/wall oven combination.

clear the air

A busy kitchen is often filled with the aromas of a home-cooked meal.
While these smells are welcome, the lingering odors, steam and smoke from cooking will need to be properly removed from the room. A range hood is required for proper ventilation, but considering the style of range hoods available today, it is also an important design choice in the kitchen, too!

why is ventilation recommended?

Clean Air
A kitchen range hood will help provide proper ventilation that is critical in improving indoor air quality and ensuring a healthy environment in your home.

Protects Your Investment
A kitchen is a significant investment in cabinets, flooring, walls and countertops. A range hood protects and prolongs the life of this investment by keeping contaminants off these surfaces.

width and depth of your hood:

  • It is important to choose a ventilation system to match or exceed your range or cooktop’s requirements.
  • Hoods come in widths from 24 inches to more than 70 inches.
  • The width of the vent hood should be as wide as your range or cooktop for maximum performance. Hood depths vary from 12 inches for some inserts to more than 27 inches for pro-range hoods.

Options available for Standard Ranges or High-BTU Gas Ranges.

If your kitchen is the ultimate in modern design, express your style with a designer vent. Choose from mixed metals or a wood surround to complement your taste. Designer hoods come in all sizes and power levels ranging from 250 to 1600 CFM.

SKU: BlueStar SC060MLPLTD

Standard BTU Gas
(Under 75,000 BTUs)

If you have a traditional approach to family cooking and entertaining, the range hood plays an important function. Under-cabinet range hoods are a good solution, as well as canopy and insert designs, with more moderate performance levels starting at 250 CFM.

SKU: Miele DA1260

High BTU Gas
(75,000 total BTUs and above)

A canopy, professional-style hood is a popular choice over pro ranges and rangetops. They have great capture area, meaning they capture the residual heat and odor over a burner, and often have wide baffle filters to capture grease. They work with blower sizes from 600 to 1600 CFM.

SKU: Dacor DHD48U990CS

hood winked

Consider these systems when selecting a hood.
UPDRAFT

An updraft vent system is a hood or venting microwave that hangs over the cooktop to suck up steam, smoke and odors. They are effective for removing air since they are located directly above the cooktop.

A downdraft is a type of hood that pulls air down. The air is drawn down through ducting and exhausted to the outside. It is typically purchased as a separate appliance that gets installed behind the cooktop. Most downdrafts rise above the stove when you are cooking and retract into the counter when switched off.

DUCTING

Ducting runs through the chimney/cabinet and is either ducted to the outside or recirculated back into the kitchen. It is important to keep ductwork as short and straight as possible. If an elbow needs to be used, it should begin as far away from the hood duct exit and never have two elbows back-to-back. Use smooth, metal ductwork that is the same or has a larger diameter as the hood duct exit. Maintain at least the same duct size through the entire run. Do not reduce the duct size as this restricts air flow and range hood performance.

ducting vs. recirculation

Ducting a range hood to the outside is generally recommended. When exhausting air to the outside of the home is impossible or impractical, duct-free or recirculating hoods bring filtered air back into the kitchen. Recirculating hoods require regular filter changes to maximize performance. Recirculating kits are often sold separately.

make-up air

In certain locations building codes require make-up air to bring fresh air back into the home. Lower CFM range hoods or air flow reducers, which take less air out of the home, are possible solutions. Make-up air kits/systems are sold separately.

top-notch features

Range hoods have some or a combination of these features based on price, design and/or performance.
