Maytag Cooktops & Rangetops

Maytag Cooktops & Rangetops at Plesser's Appliances

Maytag cooktops, available at Plesser's Appliances, drop into a countertop cutout with cabinetry or drawers below, freeing the oven to be installed at working height elsewhere in the kitchen. Built to the brand's commercial-grade durability standard, Maytag cooktops are offered in gas and electric configurations across a range of widths.

Cooktop vs. Rangetop
A cooktop drops into a countertop cutout and sits shallow, preserving usable drawer or cabinet space below. A rangetop is a deeper, taller unit with professional control depth and higher output, installed above a cabinet run instead of into a counter. Confirm which format your kitchen plan calls for, since the two require different cabinetry.

Gas Configurations and Power Burners
Gas cooktops include a Power burner for high-output searing and boiling alongside standard and simmer burners. Heavy cast-iron grates handle daily use and lift out for cleaning. Burner placement matters more than burner count when you regularly cook with large pans — confirm the layout for your width.

Electric Configurations
Electric cooktops offer a smooth ceramic-glass surface with radiant elements, including fast-heating and expandable elements on select models. The flat surface wipes clean in a pass and doubles as counter space when cold. Confirm element sizing and layout on the spec sheet for your model.

Controls and Cleaning
Front-mounted knobs or touch controls depending on model, with residual heat indicators on electric configurations. Because a cooktop's controls sit at the front of the surface, control type is a visible part of the countertop — knobs are easier to use with wet hands, touch controls read cleaner.

Cutout, Clearance, and Ventilation Planning
Cutout dimensions, countertop overhang, clearance to combustibles, and cabinet depth below vary by model and are not interchangeable between widths. Ventilation should be sized to total output. Talk to the team at Plesser's Appliances about cutout specs, gas or electrical requirements, and hood sizing before the countertop is templated.
