Jenn-Air 36-Inch Electric Cooktop JEC9536B
Date Published: 8/8/07
If the traditional color offerings don't suite your fancy, take a look at the Jenn-Air JEC9536B. With its beautiful oiled-bronze finish, this version of Jenn-Air's popular and reliable JEC9536B will make a striking statement in your kitchen.
Jenn-Air is leading the way as appliance colors evolve beyond the increasingly ordinary options of black, white and stainless steel. This is just one model in a complete suite of oiled-bronze appliances, so if your budget allows it, you can give your entire kitchen a dramatic update.
When it comes to features, the 36-inch JEC9536B is quite simply a good value. This model offers two versatile dual elements that allow you to match the element size to the diameter of your pan. Properly adjusting the element size results in better pan-to-heat contact and more accurate temperature control.
The JEC9536B's five total elements include a very low-temperature warming element, so you can keep completed dishes warm without overcooking them. Hot-surface indicator lights alert you to elements that retain heat after being turned off.
Each of the three color options relies on tinted glass (black, white or oiled bronze) over a black cooktop box. Cast silver-metallic knobs control the heating elements, making these electric cooktops attractive in any kitchen design that currently relies on popular stainless accents.
A trusted brand for many years, Jenn-Air is bringing high-end style to its parent company, Whirlpool. Although the initial merger caused some problems regarding service calls, this concern appears to be waning.
A solid cooktop in a lovely new color, the Jenn-Air JEC9536B is an excellent choice, provided your dealer can ensure you access to a reliable servicing agent.
