Amana 30-Inch Electric Cooktop AKT3040

Date Published: 8/14/06

Moderately priced, the elegant Amana 30-Inch Electric Cooktop AKT3040 fits well in a variety of kitchen designs. Perfect for those who prefer an open, unobstructed view, the AKT3040 makes an excellent choice for installation in an island, peninsula, or against the wall. Further adding to the flexibility of this model is the option of installing it over a built-in oven.

Three possible finishes help this model lend itself to a variety of color schemes. The white model features white glass, while the stainless-steel and black models are offered in black glass only. Both the black and white models lie perfectly flush with the countertop. The stainless-steel unit, however, has a metal frame at the top and bottom and does not lie perfectly flat, though it does have an attractive stainless-steel trim that serves to tie together the design elements in a kitchen with many stainless-steel appliances.

Adaptable to various pan sizes, this model includes a 6-/9-inch dual radiant element that can be used in either the small or large configuration. Additional elements include one 6-inch, one 7-inch, and one 8-inch element. Each element has its own "hot" indicator light--a helpful safety feature that can prevent unexpected burns. Easily cleaned, the Amana 30-Inch Electric Cooktop AKT3040 should be wiped with a soft cloth and mild soap. An ideal way to update a kitchen, this electric cooktop makes a modern statement without the stiff price tag.
