The C101 is among the earliest documented cooktops in JennAir’s original cartridge-based downdraft system, the design that made the brand’s name in kitchen ventilation. Decades on, the same swappable cartridges and downdraft blower architecture make it possible to service one part at a time rather than replacing the whole cooktop when a single cartridge or the blower motor eventually wears out.
Key Features
- 30" electric drop-in cooktop with JennAir's original self-ventilated downdraft system
