GE Profile Cooktops: Induction, Electric and Gas Models
GE Profile cooktops come in 30- and 36-inch induction, radiant electric and gas models, including a downdraft gas cooktop that needs no overhead hood.
GE Profile cooktops on our site come in three fuel types: induction, radiant electric and gas. Most are 30 or 36 inches wide, and a few add a downdraft vent that pulls smoke down through the counter, so you can skip the overhead hood.

Induction, Radiant or Gas?
Induction heats the pan itself with a magnetic field, so the glass around the pan stays cooler and the response is quick. It needs pans that a magnet sticks to. Radiant electric heats elements under the glass and works with any flat-bottom pan. Gas gives you a visible flame and works with any cookware, but it needs a gas line.
30 or 36 Inches?
A 30-inch cooktop fits the most common cutout and gives you 4 or 5 burners or elements. A 36-inch model like the PHP6036DWBB or PEP9036DTBB gives you 5 elements with more space between large pans. Always check the cutout size on the product page before you order, because a new cooktop may not match an old cutout.
Electrical and Gas Needs
The induction and radiant models in this guide list 240 volts. Amp listings range from 30 amps on the PHP6030DWBB to 50 amps on the PEP9036DTBB, so have an electrician check your circuit. The gas models include a conversion kit, which means they can be set up for propane.
- Induction: PHP6030DWBB (30 amp), PHP6036DWBB (40 amp)
- Radiant: PEP9036DTBB (50 amp)
- Gas: PGP9030SLSS and PGP9830SRSS include a gas conversion kit
