Jenn Air Electric Cooktops

JennAir Electric Cooktops at Plesser's Appliances

JennAir electric cooktops, available at Plesser's Appliances, drop into a countertop cutout as a smooth ceramic-glass surface with radiant elements, including models with JennAir's integrated downdraft ventilation.

Flat Surface, Simple Cleanup
A smooth ceramic-glass surface with no grates or crevices wipes clean in one pass, and when cold doubles as usable counter space. Radiant elements retain heat after switch-off, so hot surface indicators matter. Confirm your model has them.

Element Sizing and Layout
Elements are sized for different pan diameters, with expandable elements on select models for larger and oval cookware. Layout matters more than element count with large pans. Confirm the configuration for your width.

Integrated Downdraft Option
Select JennAir electric cooktops include built-in downdraft ventilation that captures smoke and steam at the cooking surface, removing the need for an overhead hood. For an island installation, that is often the deciding factor. Confirm whether your model includes it.

Works With Any Cookware
Unlike induction, a radiant cooktop works with any flat-bottomed cookware, with no replacing aluminum or copper pans. It also typically requires less electrical service than induction. The trade-off is slower response and heat-up.

Cutout, Electrical, and Ventilation Planning
Cutout dimensions and clearance below vary by model, and downdraft models need cabinet space for the blower and a duct path. Installation requires appropriate 240V service. Talk to the team at Plesser's Appliances about cutout specs, electrical requirements, and ventilation before the countertop is templated.
