Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How does the downdraft ventilation system work?

A: The integrated downdraft system draws steam, smoke, grease, and odors downward from the cooktop surface into the ventilation unit, helping to maintain clean air in the kitchen—especially in open or island layouts.

Q: How do the induction cooking zones function?

A: The JIDT836SBL features two Flex-Choice™ XL induction zones with automatic bridging. This allows you to merge two adjacent zones into one large cooking area, ideal for oversized cookware like griddles or roasting pans.

Q: How should I clean the induction cooktop surface?

A:For everyday cleaning: After the surface has cooled, wipe it with a soft cloth or sponge using warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly to prevent streaks or residue.

For tougher stains or burnt-on residue:

• While the surface is still slightly warm (use an oven mitt), carefully use a ceramic glass cooktop scraper at a 45-degree angle to remove residue.
• Once cooled, apply a cooktop cleaner like affresh® and rub gently with a non-abrasive cleaning pad.
• Let the cleaner dry to a white haze, then buff with a clean, dry cloth for a streak-free shine.

Q: What venting options are available?

A: You can choose between external venting or a duct-free recirculating setup. The recirculation kit is sold separately and provides flexibility for kitchens without access to outside venting.

Q: How will I know when to replace the charcoal filter?

A: In recirculating mode, the cooktop will display an “F” on the control panel when it’s time to replace the charcoal filter, ensuring continued performance and air quality.
