Commercial-Grade 6-Burner Matrix, SureSpark™ Auto-Reignition & ScratchSafe™ Grate Alignment: Viking 36" Professional Gas Cooktop
Deliver intense multi-zone searing power, exceptional pan clearance, and high-performance commercial utility to your countertop with the heavy-duty engineering of the Viking® Professional 5 Series 36-Inch Drop-In Gas Cooktop (VGSU53616BSS). Specifically curated for high-end custom residential general contractors, luxury property renovators, and premium interior architects seeking to bypass multi-month factory production delays, this uniquely optimized 6-burner drop-in unit is the ultimate cooking line upgrade. Shifting entirely away from standard 36-inch cooktops that compress your workspace into a restricted 4 or 5-burner layout, the VGSU53616BSS delivers an industry-leading six permanently sealed gas burners with brass burner rings across a standard countertop footprint. Finished in laser-welded, commercial-grade brushed stainless steel, this premium asset features interlocking porcelain-coated cast-iron continuous grates anchored by an exclusive scratch-protection perimeter system.
Master-Tier Features & Professional Surface Engineering
Tailored specifically for passionate home chefs, high-capacity catering hosts, and design-focused decorators who require uncompromised boiling power alongside delicate low-heat simmer control, this 5 Series cooktop features:
- Industry-Leading 6-Burner Drop-In Layout: Maximizes every square inch of the 36-inch deep frame to house six independent cooking zones, allowing you to simultaneously run large stockpots, heavy skillets, and delicate reduction pans without crowding.
- 18,000 BTU Commercial High-Output Core: Driven by a flagship 18,000 BTU burner that delivers intense thermal energy for rapid boiling, high-heat pan searing, and instantaneous temperature recovery when loading cold ingredients.
- SureSpark™ Electronic Ignition System: Outfitted with an automatic micro-spark electronic ignition track that ensures immediate flame activation. If a sudden kitchen draft or boiling overflow extinguishes a flame while cooking, the system automatically sparks to reignite the burner instantly.
- Exclusive ScratchSafe™ Cast-Iron Grate Design: Features specialized protective bottom pads on the heavy continuous cast-iron grates, ensuring perfect, stable placement while shielding the brushed stainless steel top deck from ugly scratches during cleanup.
- Permanently Sealed Brass Burner Rings: Combines high-end brass thermal durability with a completely sealed burner basin design, confining all grease boils and splashes entirely to the porcelain surface tray for fast, seamless wipe-downs.
- Precision Simmer Settings on All Burners: Bypasses restrictive single-zone simmer layouts by providing dedicated, low-Btu precision control settings across all six burner stations, allowing you to hold delicate sauces warm anywhere on the deck.
- Heavy-Duty BlackChrome™ Die-Cast Knobs: Equipped with robust, professional-weight BlackChrome™ analog control knobs mounted on solid metal bezels, providing smooth, fluid rotation for meticulous flame calibration.
- Hassle-Free Retrofit Cutout Versatility: Specifically engineered with flexible framing margins to fit cleanly into virtually any existing standard 36-inch countertop cutout, offering a seamless, drop-in luxury upgrade path with minimal millwork adjustments.

Our Commitment to Environmental Responsibility
Responsible Extraction
Our skilled craftsmen carefully remove and catalog each kitchen component, ensuring maximum material recovery and minimal waste during the extraction process.
Efficient Logistics
We've developed regional, sustainable packaging routes to minimize the carbon footprint of transporting kitchens to our stores.
Educational Outreach
We actively educate designers, architects and homeowners about the environmental benefits of kitchen reuse through workshops and community engagement.
Sustainable Luxury in Action
"We were planning to spend $350,000 on a new kitchen until we discovered Aurora. Our Poggenphol kitchen not only saved us $100,000 but also prevented over 8,000 lbs of CO2 emissions. The quality is impeccable—you'd never know it wasn't custom-designed for our space."— Tim Anderson, Greenwich, CT
The Reality of Trim & Molding
The molding and trim shown in our listing photos are rarely fully reclaimable. Because salvaging is a delicate process, you should expect to receive less than what is pictured.
Most retrofits will require you to source additional matching material to complete your project. Additionally, salvaged trim is not "plug-and-play"—plan on repairing, patching, and repainting these pieces to get them installation-ready. We'd rather you prepare for a project than be surprised by a shortage on delivery day.
Most wall finishes or paneling surrounding the cabinetry is not included. If you are interested or expecting a certain example ask your sales associate.
The Reality of Countertops
Countertops shown in our listings are provided as a complimentary inclusion only and are not guaranteed as part of the sale. Due to the high risk of cracking or breaking during disassembly and transport, countertops may not be available or usable at the time of delivery.
Please note that no claims, credits, or refunds will be issued if countertops are damaged or unavailable. Additionally, backsplash tile, wall stone, and related materials are never included in the purchase price. We strongly recommend planning your project with new countertops in mind; if the originals arrive intact, consider it a win.
The Reality of Cabinet Cut-outs
Please be aware that both showroom and pre-owned cabinetry will have pre-existing cut-outs. These openings for electrical, plumbing, and gas connections are commonly found on the backs, sides, and toe kicks of the units.
These cut-outs are a standard part of any previously installed kitchen and should be expected. Because every home's utility layout is different, you should plan for additional modifications or patching to accommodate your specific plumbing and electrical needs during re-installation.
The Reality of Painted Cabinetry
If a kitchen was custom-painted on-site, you must plan for a full repaint. Because these kitchens were painted over the joints after installation, the paint film is broken during the disassembly process. To achieve a finished look, these cabinets must be repainted in place once re-installed, exactly as they were during the original installation.
For all other pre-owned kitchens, please expect that touch-up painting and color matching will be required. We recommend budgeting for these finishing touches to ensure a seamless result in your new space.
The Reality of Appliance Accessories & Trim Kits
Manufacturer accessories, specialized mounting hardware, and decorative trim kits shown in listing photos are not guaranteed to be included. While these components are often part of a showroom display, they are frequently fitted to that specific installation and may not be available once the unit is removed.
Additionally, internal appliance accessories—such as milk containers, water pitchers, and specialized shelving—are often not included in the sale. You should plan to source these specific manufacturer parts or trim kits to fit your new layout. If you have questions about whether a specific component is included, please reach out to us before purchasing.
The Reality of Kitchen Package Appliances
Pre-owned appliances included in kitchen sets are maintained only to the previous homeowner's standards. These products are sold based on the homeowner's representation of condition; Aurora does not independently test these units. You should budget for a professional service call upon installation, as repairs or maintenance may be necessary. Showroom displays may also require service calls to ensure they are fully operational in a home setting. All appliances in these sets are discounted significantly to accommodate these potential service requirements.
The Reality of Stand-Alone Appliances
Warranties are only included on stand-alone products explicitly labeled as "Certified." For all other stand-alone units, Aurora offers a 30-day functional guarantee should the product require service or repair.
Please note that these products are sold based on our vendor's representation of condition. Aurora does not independently test these units. We recommend all customers plan for a professional inspection and service to ensure the appliance meets their needs.
The Reality of Kitchen Configuration & Fit
All kitchen components are sold strictly "as-is" regarding their configuration and fit. Please be aware that in showroom displays, components like sinks, cooktops, and appliances may be fitted into custom-cut openings that do not follow standard residential sizing.
It is the buyer's responsibility to verify that all components—including sinks and integrated appliances—properly fit the cabinetry provided. Aurora does not guarantee that showroom configurations are compatible with standard plumbing or electrical requirements. You should expect to make modifications, cabinet adjustments, or source new components to ensure a proper fit in your specific installation.

What our customers are saying
Amazing experience from website search to purchase. Super helpful, professional, and friendly were both Junior and Paul in making sure we were making the perfect purchase for our current project . As soon as we retrofit and install we will post photos. Meanwhile checkout some of our previous projects with pre owned and luxury displays !
"Aurora took care of the take-apart of our large kitchen space as step one for our new kitchen.
From the first day meeting with Mike and the crew that came the next week this company was super professional, thorough and neat. I would use these guys again in a heartbeat."
"This was the best thing I ever did. I literally have zero regrets. We completely gutted our old kitchen and purchased our cabinets from aurora circ. I love the up cycle concept but also love the fact that I was able to completely customize an efficient and UPSCALE kitchen. My new kitchen cabinets are amazing and I couldn’t be happier."
"I have dealt with this company on two separate occasions and could not have had a better experience ,true professionalism !Here are some before and after photos of my project! Thank you to Junior and the entire crew at Aurorainc !! five stars"
