        Answer This Question

        A:  Hello John, Have you tried disconnecting power to the unit for at least one full minute, from either the circuit breaker in the home or unplugging the unit? This would be to reset the control panel.

          Missing parts critical to operating
          Ordered this plus the telescoping downdraft to replace an old one. The under cabinet base was an inch plus larger, which required a granite person out to shave the cutout opening. The dials are poorly marked and hard to see. The factory box only contained 3 of the 5 burner covers. I called kitchenaid to order replacements. In the meantime, I can not use it. The installation for both downdraft and this took several hours and cost over $1k (including granite shave) from a certified plumber. Should have sprung for the better brand and included install.

              Poor design
              This replaced a 20 year old kitchen aid stove top. But the space allowed for cooking is shallow. If I put a larger pan on either of The side burners, there is no room to put another pan on the buner on the same side

                Wonderful cooking granularity. Love this cooktop.
                [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The cooktop was part of a larger package of KitchenAid appliances installed by the builder. Excellent performance from the cooktop.

                  The labels are almost invisible.
                  We purchased all new Kithchenaid Major appliances and for the most part are happy. Except the labels on the gas range are impossible to read. It almost appears that KitchenAid forgot to print them.

                    Cannot read the labels by the knobs
                    Brand new home. To use the stove, I have to turn my lights off, bend over in 3 different directions to read the settings. I have no idea if I am on low or high. It's getting to point of being dangerous.

                      Not so good
                      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Unfortunately can’t fit 2 average size pans next to each other. There’s not enough room for both on either side.
                      by
                        Builder provided
                        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The builder selected the cooktop. The knobs are hard to read. You have to guess and bend down to see where the gas level is. Lighted knobs to let you know the gas is on would be helpful.

                          (This review was collected as part of a promotion.) We love the new cookpit. It’s a nice feature in our kitchen now.

                            Don't buy
                            [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am in a new build and had limited options to choose. The kitchen aid gas cooktop has NO visible symbols around the controls. I called customer service and was told that is how it is supposed to be. Good luck with trying to see the settings for cooking.
