General Electric 30-Inch Downdraft Electric Cooktop JP989

Date Published: 8/14/06

Simple, sleek, and elegant, the General Electric 30-Inch Downdraft Electric Cooktop JP989 combines clean electric cooking with the almost invisible ventilation of downdraft. Ideal for those who prefer an open sight line in the kitchen, this model has a 400-cfm blower mounted out of sight in the cabinet. Grease, smoke, and steam are drawn down into the three-speed fan and then vented to the outside via ductwork under the flooring or in the basement.

The JP989 cooktop is a smoothtop model that offers four ribbon heating elements and a fifth bridge heating element, and measures 30 inches across to make it ideal for many installations. The adjustable elements encourage maximum pan-to-heat contact and make cooking with electricity more enjoyable. This cooktop has one dual 6-/9-inch element and a bridge that joins two elements together to be used as one, so it works well with a wide variety of differently sized pans. The smooth glass-ceramic surface can be wiped clean with a soft cloth. Two appliances in one, the General Electric 30-Inch Downdraft Electric Cooktop JP989 comes in white, bisque, or black patterned glass with a stainless-steel trim.
