Downdraft Induction Cooktops – Sleek, Powerful, and Space-Saving

A true induction cooktop with downdraft starts with the vent, not the glass. Futuro Futuro spent 45 years building high-power Italian range hoods, then placed that same extraction discipline inside the Portofino collection so steam, smoke, and cooking aromas leave at the source. You gain precise induction heat without hanging a canopy over an open island or a clean sightline kitchen.

Ventilation first, because the air decides the kitchen

Integrated downdraft ventilation uses a whisper-quiet tangential blower rated from about 150 to 940 CFM, the same airflow class as the brand hood line. Variable speeds and a booster give staged power for simmering, searing, and everyday cooking. Rated sound stays in the 0.5 to 3.2 sone range across speeds, so serious capture stays usable while conversation continues in an open plan room.

Automatic operation matches suction to cooking intensity, then can taper after you finish so lingering vapors clear without constant dial work. That is the advantage of a company that thinks like a range hood specialist: the induction cooktop with built in downdraft is judged by how clean the air stays when heat and oil meet the pan.

Open design without the overhead hood

Because extraction lives in the cooktop, you free the ceiling plane. Island kitchens keep long views and pendant layouts. Wall runs stay free of chimney bulk when the architecture wants a quiet elevation. The ceramic glass surface reads as a continuous plane with a motorized glass flap that opens for suction and closes when idle, protecting the intake and keeping the top calm between meals.

Finishes include black, black matte, champagne, and charcoal glass so the piece can anchor modern or transitional cabinetry. Italian design keeps proportion and material quality intentional. Designers get one appliance that solves cooking and air, which simplifies elevations and reduces visual clutter in high-end homes.

Sizes, zones, and daily cooking

The collection offers 24 inch and 32 inch widths for compact islands and fuller primary cook stations. Four induction zones with multi-speed electronic touch control deliver fast, precise heat for induction-ready cookware. Nine vent speeds plus a booster keep airflow matched to what is on the glass.

• 24 inch Portofino for tighter islands and secondary prep zones
• 32 inch Portofino for primary cooktops that still want open sightlines
• Flush or non-flush countertop fit options for clean stone and quartz edges
• Touch-sensitive optical style controls for a smooth glass interface

Depth is about 20 1/2 inches with chassis height near 10 inches so cabinetry plans stay practical. Motor placement under the glass helps preserve base cabinet storage compared with bulky separate downdraft towers.

Ducted or ductless paths for real remodels

Each induction range with downdraft supports ducted exhaust outdoors and ductless recirculating setups when exterior routing is limited by structure or condo rules. Rectangular duct sizing is specified for the line so installers can plan solid metal runs. When codes require a lower maximum, CFM can be reduced at the factory to match local make-up air rules.

For recirculating installs, regenerable Long Life anti-odor filters support multi-year service after thermal regeneration in a household oven. Optional advanced plasma style kits suit projects that want stronger odor control on a ductless plan. Grease filters and drip trays are removable and dishwasher-safe, with indicators that signal when cleaning is due.

Built for durability in a working kitchen

A patented waterproof motor design protects the vent system if liquids reach the intake path, with residual water drain and tray-full sensors that shut the hood down when needed. Sensor logic on the glass flap cuts suction when the flap is closed, reducing grease escape and accidental drops into the channel. These features turn a high-power downdraft into something you can live with every day.

Units are Made in Italy, UL and CSA listed for the United States and Canada, and hardwired for 220 to 240 volt induction service. Warranty follows the brand residential pattern of first-year support with extended parts on non-consumable components. Stock ships from the Hallandale, Florida warehouse with technical support for sizing and install questions.

Who chooses a Futuro Futuro downdraft induction cooktop

Homeowners renovating luxury open kitchens choose this category when they want induction precision and refuse a hanging canopy. Designers specify Portofino when the elevation needs a clean plane and the brief still demands serious extraction. Trade partners value published airflow and noise bands, ducted or ductless options, and reachable US support.

Browse black, matte, champagne, and charcoal finishes in 24 and 32 inch formats, then open each model for exact power, duct, and cutout details. Explore the collection and choose the induction cooktop with downdraft that puts 45 years of range hood power under your cookware.
