Kaiser Downdraft Hobs – Powerful Cooking, Integrated Extraction

Bring induction cooking and built-in extraction together with a Kaiser downdraft hob. These appliances capture steam, grease and cooking odours directly at hob level, removing the need for a conventional overhead cooker hood and creating a more open kitchen.

Whether you’re planning a kitchen island or a streamlined worktop layout, our 90cm downdraft induction hobs combine generous cooking space, responsive controls and integrated extraction—with a choice of classical Empire detailing or contemporary Grand Chef styling.

Enjoy fast, precise heat with four QuickHeat induction zones, each featuring a booster function for an extra burst of cooking power.

Across the collection, you’ll find:

• Four QuickHeat induction cooking zones

• Child locks, residual heat indicators and automatic safety shut-off

From a gentle simmer to a lively family dinner, Kaiser downdraft hobs put cooking control at your fingertips.

Intelligent Extraction with AUTO-SYNC

Keep your attention on the cooking with AUTO-SYNC technology, which automatically adjusts extraction power to match the hob’s cooking intensity. Manual control is also available whenever you prefer to choose the airflow yourself.

Positioned centrally within the hob, the integrated extractor draws cooking vapours towards the extraction inlet, helping keep the surrounding kitchen fresh.

Extraction performance and installation options vary by model:

• Empire KCT 9362 IEm: up to 1250 m³/h in external extraction mode, or 1000 m³/h in recirculation mode with activated carbon filters.

• Grand Chef KCT 9102 FI: up to 600 m³/h in recirculation mode, with nine extractor fan speeds.

Check the individual product specifications to choose the extraction setup that suits your kitchen.

Downdraft Hob FAQs

What is a downdraft induction hob?
A downdraft induction hob combines an induction cooking surface with an integrated extractor. It draws cooking steam and vapours towards an inlet within the hob, rather than using a separate hood above it.

Do I need a separate cooker hood?
The integrated extractor performs the role of a conventional cooker hood, so a separate overhead hood is not required when the appliance is correctly installed.

Are downdraft hobs suitable for kitchen islands?
Yes. Their integrated extraction makes them particularly useful for islands, helping keep the space above the cooking area open. Your kitchen design must allow sufficient room below the worktop for the appliance and its extraction components.

Do downdraft hobs need to vent outside?
This depends on the model and installation configuration. The Empire KCT 9362 IEm supports external extraction and recirculation, while the Grand Chef KCT 9102 FI offers the recirculation performance detailed above. Check the product’s installation requirements and any necessary filter or ducting accessories before ordering.

Do I need special pans?
Yes. Induction cooking requires cookware with a magnetic base. Look for pans labelled as induction compatible.

Can I fit an oven underneath a downdraft hob?
This depends on the space required by the hob, extractor and ducting. Check the installation manual and confirm the proposed layout with your kitchen fitter before planning an oven directly underneath.

Are downdraft hobs easy to clean?
The smooth glass-ceramic cooking surfaces are easy to wipe down once cool. Grease filters require regular cleaning, and any recirculation filters should be maintained or replaced according to the model’s instructions.
