Can a Downdraft Be Used with a Range

With D49M Series, the groundbreaking new downdraft from BEST, you can design confidently, knowing it will pair with a broad range of cooktop appliances—aesthetically and mechanically—in virtually any installation configuration.

Can downdraft be used with gas range?

Yes, downdraft ventilation systems can now be installed with a gas or electric cooktop, free-standing range, or a built-in oven with a cooktop.

Do downdraft ranges need to be vented?

Downdraft ranges have built-in vents between the burners, and suck smoke and steam through an exhaust pipe or filtration system. That means they don’t need an external vent hood—a trait that makes them popular in open kitchens, and kitchens with cathedral ceilings.
