Professional Performance for the Home™
®

When creating a dream kitchen, there’s one universal
truth: no one dreams alike. Fortunately, our built-in rangetops, cooktops, and gas woks
offer the versatility of being placed exactly where you envision them. Plus, unchained
from a particular oven, they can be mixed and matched to your heart’s content.
There are even plenty of design options. Which means they work with just
about any kitchen motif. The built-in surface cooking
appliances open up possibilities. And your dreams.
