Description

The 32 inch Portofino champagne downdraft induction cooktop is a luxury answer for kitchens that want serious cooking without a hanging hood in the sightline. Champagne ceramic glass, a centered intake, and Italian design turn the cooktop into an architectural focal point while built-in ventilation clears steam and aroma at the source. For homeowners and designers shaping open islands, that pairing is the point: one premium appliance, two jobs done with restraint.

Champagne glass presence without an overhead canopy

The warm champagne finish softens the usual black glass slab into a high-end surface that reads with stone, wood, and soft metals. Light moves across the ceramic plane instead of stopping at a dark rectangle, so the cooktop feels closer to furniture than to a utility block. Because extraction lives in the cooktop, island seating and open rooms keep an unobstructed view to windows, art, and conversation. Flush or filotop placement lets the glass settle into the counter as a designer-grade plane rather than a stacked appliance mass that fights the cabinetry lines.

In transitional and contemporary kitchens alike, the Portofino champagne tone acts as a quiet luxury accent. It holds its own beside veined marble and pale oak without demanding a matching metal chimney above the cook zone. The result is an investment-grade cooking center that still leaves the architecture in charge of the room.

Induction cooking with controls that stay out of the way

Induction delivers responsive heat for daily cooking and entertaining, while the optical touch panel gathers power levels, pause, keep warm, timers, and lock into a calm strip of light. You stay focused on the pan instead of hunting for knobs or crowding the counter with separate vent remotes. Zone markers stay subtle on the glass so the surface reads clean when not in use, then the illuminated icons guide precise adjustments when heat matters.

That cooktop feature set is part of the Portofino Hub story, not an afterthought beside the vent. Keep warm holds a sauce while guests arrive. Pause and lock protect the plan mid-service. Timers keep multi-zone cooking orderly. The premium surface stays easy to wipe, so the high-end look lasts through real kitchen use rather than only studio photographs.

Automatic downdraft that follows the meal

The integrated downdraft raises a champagne glass flap when you cook and adapts suction to intensity, then eases down after the heat fades. Capture happens beside the burners, so open-plan air stays fresher without shouting over a canopy blower. Nine speeds plus booster, with a whisper quiet tangential motor rated about 0.5 to 3.2 sones and airflow up to 940 CFM, give refined headroom for high-heat moments while still supporting quiet dinners at lower settings.

• Automatic suction that tracks cooking intensity
• Delayed self-switching off after the meal
• Sensor that stops suction when the flap closes
• Grease filter maintenance reminders for stainless steel, dishwasher-safe filters

When the flap closes, the sensor helps keep spills and odors from escaping the intake path. When filters need attention, reminders support collector-quality care instead of guesswork. Living with the appliance becomes calmer: cook, clear the air, return the glass to a flush champagne plane.

Ducted or ductless freedom for real renovations

Install as ducted exhaust when the home can vent outside, or choose a ductless path with regenerable Long Life ceramic anti-odor filters for islands and remodels where exterior ducting is limited. Optional Plasma Technology kits deepen odor control for recirculating layouts. That flexibility matters in luxury renovations where structure, windows, or condominium rules can block a traditional hood chase.

Motor placement under the glass helps preserve base cabinet storage so high-end kitchens keep usable drawers beneath the cooking zone. Whether the project vents out or recirculates through Long Life filtration, the same artisan-crafted champagne surface remains the visual finish. Trade partners specify one SKU for the cooking plane and the ventilation path, then select ducted hardware or ductless filtration to match the site.

Built for daily confidence

A patented waterproof motor and residual water drain protect the system if liquids reach the intake, while a full tray sensor can shut the hood down before overflow becomes a problem. Removable metal grease filters and a drip tray keep cleaning practical for households that cook often. Made in Italy for the United States and Canada market, the Portofino champagne model is investment-grade cooking and ventilation in one uncompromising surface.
