Awesome stove
I had a downdraft, duel fuel stove for 24 years. This Kitchen aid far out performs my older stove. More BTUs, selection of burner sizes, and a much larger oven.
The downdraft is powerful without bothering the burner flame. The ease of cleaning the oven is just awesome. A great looking stove.
The knobs are on the front like my old stove, which is a feature I wanted. However, they turn on far too easily if something or someone leans on them by mistake and may not realize they have turned them on. I am constantly checking them.

Dependable!
We purchased our new range in April. The learning curve was quick and easy and I’ve enjoyed cooking so much more. We bought this range to replace an old Jenn-Air and the difference is remarkable. So many features,easy to use and I haven’t burned anything!

Great product - reasonable price!
I installed a month ago, it was pretty straight forward. It’s amazing to cook with gas. The downdraft does its job without excessive noise. There is one warranty minor keypad problem pending service.

Beautiful, functional and efficient
I bought this range the day after Thanksgiving to replacing our aging Jennair D146 Downdraft Electric range which had served us well since 1989 but now had developed performance problems.
The options for venting the unit are limited and in my situation a double floor joist was directly in the path where the floor vent should go. Wall venting behind the unit was out of the question as the dining room backs up to the wall. I finally improvised a way to get the vent out though a cabinet dead space adjacent to the unit. I'm getting 321 cfm using the high speed on the fan. (The Jennair was pushing 367 cfm).
All this to say...plan ahead before buying the range as a downdraft because you may end up not being able to use the downdraft functionality because the venting options are specific and limited. The provided template is very specific on where you can place the vent hole in the floor or in the wall.
The issue is that the downdraft motor takes up a very large portion of the floor under the range and has to be in a specific area to attach the downdraft motor bellows to the range body.
Customer Service was not very helpful to me when I called seeking advice on my venting problem.
Now that the range is installed and fully operational, I love it. The range is very attractive and its commercial design with clean lines complements the other appliances in my kitchen.
The burners cover a wide range from 17,000 BTU to 5,000 BTU which is enough to achieve a quick rapid boil in a large pot or to slowly simmer sauces etc.
The design of the cook top makes it easy to clean up spills.
The control panel is well designed and intuitive to operate.
The oven is cavernous and well designed with 7 rack positions and with the optional full slide out rack. First attempt at baking produced excellent results.
I have not yet attempted steam baking or used the Aqualift cleaning feature but I would expect those to work well also.
I have not yet used the griddle either but will do so in the near future.
When using the downdraft fan even on the low speed, the airflow distorts the flames on the burners but I compensate by shifting the pots a little off center on the grates.
Speaking of grates, the design makes it easy to slide pots from one burner to the other without lifting the pot.
In conclusion, I am very pleased with the appliance and look forward to many years of reliable service.

Dual Fuel controls
We switched from a JennAir smooth top downdraft to a KitchenAid dual fuel downdraft. We like the knobs on the front of the range, and are getting used to looking for the information on the top of the stove. I miss looking at the front of the stove for the time, and timer.

Good range
Generally pleased with its function as a range. Burner control is quite good. Relatively easy to clean. Oven heat is quite uniform but it takes a long time to heat up. The downdraft sucks away too much of the heat and requires the burner to be set much higher, therefore not efficient.

Does the job.
Bought this range to replace an existing range of the same type and model as we were limited by the existing downdraft fan situation. Find that the oven takes a long time to reach the selected baking temperatureand then then takes a long time to cool down.

Because of previous down draft I had few choices
Wish that this came with a trim kit to make it really fit tightly into my counter space on my island . This dual fuel gas and electric stove is very slow to preheat but once it is hot it performs well.I have yet to use the steam clean feature. Wish all the burners were equal output.. some are too slow

Downdraft dual fuel range
I bought this appliance for more than a month. I found it is easy to clean after cooking. Besides, it is good and convenient to know the time with the clock indication on the front of the range.

It's the only Dual Fuel Downdraft range on market
Well, first off, I was moving from a much older JennAir downdraft model to this - primarily as this is the only such range available on the market (in Canada anyway). So, no way to compare to another model... this IS the only one.
Having said that, a lot of the reviews I read were concerning as I could see this unit may not be as "great" as you'd want it to be for the price tag (almost $4K after tax!).
So, in my mind, this is a very top end range for that price point. It is lacking a bit in features / functionality.
Initially, all the reviews that say this unit it extremely difficult to integrate the fan unit location with the placement of the range are true... it's a heck of a battle... but it can be done over the course of many hours (really over a day). BTW - don't expect to be able to use a rigid 5" duct to connect, as there is less than that height available... so it's a not so pretty flex pipe connection (which gets "squished" to fit).
Pros:
- this range has an incredibly large oven cavity!
- the oven racks are well designed and well thought out.
- very even heat in oven with convection.
- lighting inside the oven is excellent
- the burners are very reasonable for BTU / size options, I especially like the smallest one for simmering.
Cons
- the number one con for us... how easily a burner can get turned on, turns quick enough to not even engage the sparker ... so what eventually gets your attention is the smell / sound of gas. Having a small kitchen, the controls can be easily bumped / rotated when walking past. It astounds me with all the safety stuff surrounding gas rules and regulations, the biggest safety issue ends up being the range itself!
- we already have scratches on the stainless steel - which also is shocking as we take very good care of our assets. Stainless is a very hard material, and I have no idea what we did to create these scratches - but they are now here. It's almost like it's a very soft version of stainless??
-There wasn't any operations manual that came with it - which seems odd. But there was an installation manual.
- The oven heats VERY slowly, I get that part of this is the larger cavity, the steel "diffuser" plate that covers the bake element... but there is NO PREHEAT?! My very old JennAir had preheat, which ran both bake and broil elements to heat the cavity very quickly... WHY for the love of cooking is there no such simple solution on this VERY expensive MODERN range?!?!
- the downdraft feature works well, however the difference between "low" and "high" seems almost the same (maybe 80% / 100%). So the fan can be very loud. I would have thought there might be a pretty low / quiet setting which would come on when you're running a burner too, for safety reasons... but this is not the case.
- Due to the above point, even running the fan on "low" draws so much air from the surface, that the burner flames get pulled toward the vent. This makes for uneven heating and potentially a very hot pan handle if angled toward the vent. There should be an extendable vent shroud to allow the vacuum to be drawn from higher than the surface.
- Due to the above issue, I find my wife not wanting to run the fan even when she's got multiply burners running - which then creates another safety issue. I can't believe KitchenAid didn't catch this while testing out the model design.
- The black cast burner grilles are nice, heavy, durable... but as also mentioned in other reviews, the "black" rubs off fairly easily after a few days of light use. Not optimal.
- we find the speed to say boil water on a burner is much slower than we had with our older unit. I also find this baffling. (not hugely different, but maybe 25% longer).
I am giving 4 stars, mostly because without this range, we would have no option at all for downdraft. But I really hope KitchenAid takes these comments and makes improvements! I'd be open to running a new software version that gives me Preheat!! :)

Excitement to Disappointment w/ Dual Feul Range
We received this stove about nine months ago so now I am able to review this product. Unfortunately, I am disappointed with the Dual Fuel Downdraft front control range. The stainless look makes this stove look great. I do like the instant heat from the gas stovetop. That took a bit to get used to. However, using the downdraft is very noisy, even on low fan. The downdraft also pulls the flame to the center of stovetop which no longer makes even heat to cook. The knobs are almost too easy to operate. I have leaned slightly on the knob, reaching for something in the cupboard and the gas pilot starts to click to ignite the burner. The oven needed to be calibrated when I realized it wasn't baking properly. I was able to get it to the correct temperature. There are many options for the oven, but I've only used a couple. I don't bake bread, so the "Proof" is useless to me. The oven does take a long time to preheat- 15 to 20 minutes to get to 350 degrees, longer for higher temps. The electric range is fine for cooking/baking. Once turned off, the cool down period with a fan is very long-maybe 1/2 hour. So once again it is noisy.
I have cleaned it three times now. The first was one time on its own. The cleaning cycle is only 40 minutes long (?) and doesn't seem very hot. Upon being finished, I can't say it really cleaned the stove very well at all. I followed the instructions and this really lacks a good cleaning. Four months later, I cleaned it again, this time twice in a row. It just doesn't get the range clean. The inside glass door cannot be cleaned to look new. Again, I wiped down the door first before cleaning the appliance.
If you are considering getting a dual fuel downdraft Range, think about what you will be using the appliance for. Kitchenaid has a great name, but not in the case of this 4-Burner Dual Fuel Downdraft Front Control Range.

Disappointed
Installed in 2021 to replace an jennaire. Only choice in a downdraft. Oven takes a long time to,preheat, fan stays on for a long time after oven turned off, had to replace part for burner that would not ignite. Used a lighter for months until part and then for service installation. Now another burner has decided to turn itself to off when put on low. Front know if not jiggled to make sure locked can come on with a brush of clothing or a body part. We have become paranoid we are going to be gassed. Aqua lift does not do an adequate job on stains. Cooking using front burners leave food splatters on stainless front snd selection window, so when wiping down always disturbing and bringing up selections. Cannot be good got panel, hard to clean. I bake and cook a lot. Extremely unhappy with this expensive stove.

The Definitive review.
Our existing stove was a downdraft and without a major kitchen reno we would have had to replace it with another downdraft and this was the only down draft in the market . There are after market downdraft fan units available but they cost almost as much as a stove and move the stove out 4 inches.
Here is our review
- Grills - they do scratch no matter how careful you are with them and they stain and they are hard to clean including the heat disperser pucks which stain permanently so very easily.
- We read in other reviews that the stainless steal gets pit marks from tomato sauce splatters, we haven't noticed this but we are fastidious in our cleaning of the stove. But the stainless steel is very soft and easily shows scratches.
- The electronic display is poorly placed at the top of the stove as noted in many reviews. I don't know what they where thinking. It gets greasy and needs a lot of cleaning.
- Aqualift (self cleaning) - what a load of sh!t it doesn't work at all. It doesn't clean or soften the dirt. So get ready to clean it the old fashioned way! The instructions tell you to remove the grills before cleaning using the Aqualift system but they don't tell you how to clean the grills and no they won't fit in any sink
- Oven temperature - many reviews we read said that the oven temperature isn't right and we do find it to be much cooler than our previous oven or even other ovens we've used. We just crank the heat up by another 100 degrees or use a thermometer.
- The stainless steel needs a lot of cleaning to stay clean from finger prints and other stains.
I recommended this product only because it's the only option on the market place for a downdraft stove. If you planning and building a new kitchen avoid this stove. If you are faced with an incredibly expensive reno to replace an existing down draft stove then this will work. We've had it 10 months now.

Don't buy unless you really need this model
For a $4k oven I expected something much better. I have had the oven over a month and it has some serious issues. You can't really use the built in down draft without it really messing up your range cooking. The flames gets sucked into the downdraft, so unless you are cooking on high heat be prepared for your flames to go out or for uneven cooking temperatures.
The oven also takes forever to cool down after use.

Adjusting to new range
1. Had to have oven repaired after one week.
2. Downdraft on high sucks heat away from burners.
3. Larger oven takes a long time to preheat.
4. Still has smell from oven, even after burn in.
5. Lower BTU burners at back, reaching over hotter burners to stir simmering sauces.
6. Broiling function missing instructions and settings. Must units have high, medium and low. This is by temperature.

Error Code Disaster
I purchased this Range about 6 years ago. My wife and I take great care of our appliances. An error code (F2E0) came up on the display and the oven stopped working. I contacted an appliance repair person and they told me that the range would require a new circuit/mother board and that it would cost upwards of $1100 for parts ALONE. We disconnected the power to the range over night, hoping that it would 'reset'. It did not.
It is truly disappointing and frustrating that we spent nearly $4000 on what we thought was a 'top-of-the-line' range and not even 6 years later are stuck with a bill for well over $1000 just to keep it working the way it should.
Very disappointed in this product and I do not recommend.

Lovely stove but disappointed!
A lovely stove that functions well....however, I am extremely disappointed in the quality of the top metal grates on the stove. Literally within a few days of installation, they were scratched up despite there being no shaking or movement of the pans.
When I called customer service at KitchenAid, they would do nothing - since it was delivered 30+ days prior....they did not care that it had only been installed and operational for 3 days. I had to wait for a gas fitter to come and install the gas in my home and install the actual range before it could be used which was the reason that it wasn't installed immediately.....but they didn't care- Too bad / so sad! To me - this is pathetic! This is not a cheap stove, and I expected much better quality for the price.

Installation not as advised by Home Depot.
Had purchased this unit from Home Depot. Price included installation, take away of the old unit. Week before scheduled installation was advised that they had no one able to do it.
Were not Qualified to do it and advised that we would have to arrange our own installation.
Worked fine for a month. Now front burner not working. Have arranged now to get that fixed

Heats my house!
I paid for this almost a year ago - took 6 months to arrive - another 3 to be approved for replacement - who knows when the new one will arrive. Actually heats my house 4 degrees everytime I used the oven! Tried outsmarting it & turned on the fan - took 2 hours to bake a potato. Used it 3 times, ran the "self clean" twice - didn't clean! Have to have a downdraft - hope this machine was the ONLY lemon!

Extremely poor craftsmanship
After an enormous install time (down draft lots of work and not clear instructions). Damages found that would be present during assembly as components installed over top damaged components. No quality control what so ever. No email to write company, chat service crashes constantly and phone lines tied up. Trying everything to get refund from retailer and they can sell as damaged unit to unsuspecting customer. Bent top control panel that leaves oven door looking crooked. Damaged frame major issues. Electronic touch panel in the way and you constantly hit the controls while cooking

Aqualift self clean is a joke!
This range works fine BUT the aqualift self clean feature is a joke. Impossible to get the inside clean. DO NOT buy a kitchenaid appliance with this feature, unless you enjoy scrubbing, scouring, twisting your spine around the door to get into the back. I design kitchens for a living and tell all my clients to avoid this product.

I will not buy KitchenAid Appliances again
I live remote and am ex-professional chef so I cook at least 2 meals a day at home and have bought and used KitchenAid for most of my career. I bought this stove 1 1/2 (Nov 2016) years ago and immediately starting having issues with the bake feature. When the technician came out to try and fix it the problem could not be replicated. Now 2 weeks ago the oven heated up so high that it stopped working completely. When the technician came out he told me that I would have to replace the entire mother board of the stove. No wonder the earlier issues could not be duplicated. It was the mother board slowly dying. I am now waiting 6 days to get the part and had to purchase a counter top convection oven for 170.00 just so I could cook at home. This stove cost over 4K Canadian and when I called KitchenAid about this they offered to pay for 1/2 of the board but no labour and now will not sell me the extended warranty BUT she was willing to "give me a good deal on a new stove". When I asked her what I was supposed to do with the 4K that I had spent only 16 months ago her answer was "I don't know". She was more interested in selling me a new stove than actually honouring the functionality of the existing stove. This stove is truly beautiful to look at but it is next to impossible to clean the oven with the steam feature as I have tried now 3 times. If you look at it sideways it scratches (it was scratched by putting a bowl on it). I am truly disappointed in KitchenAid as I have all of their appliances and when I bought the stove I actually bought over 10K in new appliances for my home at that time. With the pathetic customer service I was offered for this stove I am sad to say that I will be moving away from KitchenAid appliances for good (all of them small and large) in my next home.

Bought this range because I needed a down draft due to loc.
Very disappointed. Can only simmer with one burner. Had service tech three times since purchase. Twice regarding burners and last time to replace electronics cooling fan which decided to stop working in the middle of baking Christmas cookies. For the money spent for the range and being less than a year old I can not recommend this range.
When I called for service at Kitchenaid I will say they were very nice and responded quickly for repair. Hopefully this was just a lemon and not the norm!
