Description

The 32 inch Portofino black matte downdraft induction cooktop is a luxury answer for kitchens that want serious heat and quiet air without a canopy overhead. Premium SCHOTT CERAN glass in a high-end matte black finish sits flush with the counter, while an integrated downdraft system captures steam and aroma at the source so the room can stay open, social, and intentionally designed. One surface carries both the cooktop story and the ventilation story, which is why this Portofino hub fits premium islands and designer remodels that refuse a separate hood mass.

Architectural presence without an overhead hood

A continuous matte black ceramic glass plane replaces the usual chimney silhouette. The fingerprint-resistant finish keeps the surface looking refined between meals, and the flush glass flap closes to a seamless line when extraction pauses. Designers and homeowners gain an architectural focal point that supports island views, city windows, and open-plan gatherings instead of blocking them. The result is investment-grade kitchen composition where the appliance finishes the counter rather than competing with the elevation.

Induction cooking built for flexible, precise heat

Responsive induction heats cookware quickly while the surrounding glass stays cooler than traditional electric tops, which helps keep the work zone safer and easier to wipe. Flexible Bridge zones let you join cooking areas for griddles and larger pans when a dinner menu stretches across the surface. Nine power levels plus Power Booster on the zones give uncompromising control from gentle simmer to high-heat searing, with pan detection, residual heat indicators, child lock, and automatic safety shutoff supporting calm, confident cooking in a luxury home kitchen.

• Bridge zones for oversized cookware
• Nine power levels plus boost for refined control
• Optical touch controls with independent timers
• Dishwasher-friendly glass flap and stainless steel grease filters

Quiet, powerful downdraft ventilation at the cooktop

An included whisper-quiet tangential blower and central intake pull grease-laden air where it forms, so you are not relying on a distant canopy. Rated from 150 to 940 CFM with a 0.5 to 3.2 sone noise band, the system balances strong capture with conversation-friendly sound across open rooms. Intelligent speed response follows cooking intensity, and delayed shutoff continues clearing residual steam after you step away, leaving the kitchen fresher for the next course. That combination of airflow headroom and refined sones is what makes built-in ventilation feel high-end rather than intrusive.

Ducted or ductless freedom

Choose ducted exhaust when outdoor venting is available, or configure ductless recirculating when a condo, remodel, or island layout limits exterior duct runs. Compatible Long Life regenerable ceramic filtration and optional Fusion Technology pathways support premium odor control for recirculating installs, so ventilation strategy can follow the architecture rather than force it. Whether you vent outside or recirculate, the cooktop remains a single designer-grade appliance with an honest install path for US and Canadian projects.

Living with a designer-grade Portofino hub

Thoughtful living details show in filter saturation reminders, a removable drip tray, and stainless steel grease filters that move to the dishwasher. Flush or surface-mount install options help the unit settle into investment-grade cabinetry while the compact under-counter blower package preserves usable storage beneath. Made in Italy and finished for contemporary luxury kitchens, this high-end Portofino cooktop with built-in ventilation is collector-quality equipment for homeowners who want cooking performance and clean air in one artisan-crafted surface.

From bridge induction heat to built-in downdraft capture, the Portofino is engineered as a dual-purpose luxury appliance rather than a cooktop with an afterthought vent. Explore the 32 inch black matte model when your remodel calls for premium induction, refined extraction, and an open view above the island.
