Topics:

• Should flame appearance or size change from high to medium to low to simmer?
• Medium and low flame look the same
• Should the simmer burner be on all the time?

Answer:

The flame location will change depending on the Wolf product; however, burner operation and flame appearance will be the same.

Sealed Burners (GR Gas Ranges, Sealed Rangetops, Dual Fuel, Gas Cooktops)

• Sealed burners have two sets of gas ports around the perimeter of the burner assembly.
• The lower ring is for Simmer, while the upper rings is for High, Medium and Low.
• The flame should only originate from the upper or lower ring for the appropriately selected setting.

Open Burners (R Gas Ranges, RT Gas Rangetops)

• Open burners have two sets of gas ports, one around the outer burner ring and the other around the center cap.
• The flame will originate from both the center cap and the outer ring in High, Medium and Low settings and from the center cap only in Simmer.

All Burners

• When increasing the burner setting from simmer or low to a higher setting, only half the burner ring may ignite.
• Burners are designed to ignite on high, and proper ignition will not take place at medium.
• When going back to a higher level from low, turn burner fully to high to reestablish ignition, then adjust down to desired level.
