It is possible to remove the downdraft equipment from underneath your JennAir electric cooktop and still use the cooktop, but it depends on how the downdraft equipment is attached to the cooktop and whether there are any other issues that may arise from removing it.
Before attempting to remove the downdraft equipment, you should consult the user manual or contact JennAir customer service to ensure that it is safe to do so and to obtain any specific instructions for your particular model.
Some potential issues to consider when removing the downdraft equipment include:
- Airflow: The downdraft equipment is designed to help draw smoke, steam, and odors down and out of the kitchen. Without it, you may experience reduced airflow and ventilation, which could result in lingering odors or smoke.
- Heat distribution: The downdraft equipment may also help distribute heat evenly across the cooktop surface. Without it, you may experience hot spots or uneven cooking.
- Stability: The downdraft equipment may provide additional support or stability to the cooktop. If it is removed, the cooktop may become less stable or secure.
If you decide to proceed with removing the downdraft equipment, it's important to follow all instructions carefully and to take appropriate safety precautions. You should also be prepared to address any issues that may arise as a result of the removal, such as by using an alternative ventilation system or adjusting your cooking techniques to compensate for any changes in heat distribution.
If you're unsure about whether or how to remove the downdraft equipment from your JennAir electric cooktop, it's best to consult with a professional technician or contact JennAir customer service for guidance.
I have my 2nd JennAir range. This one is 10 years old. It is as cold
and leaky as the 1st. We live in Wi. So, really cold here too. I liked
my 1st one. All elec. Grill was like outside grill taste. The
2nd, I had a repair man here 6 times in 6 months. Wouldn't heat enough
to sear the steaks. They all said that it is hooked up correctly, draft
is correct, but btu's aren't enough to cook properly on the grill. I
can tell you that I have run across several people that were looking at
this range. I discouraged them with my problems. I will never buy
another. I also have a JennAir refrig. Will not have another of those
again either.
Don't know the answer to these problem appliances. Some of these companies don't want to stand behind them either. Lemons
