Cooktop Gas (CG) Series Cooktop Gas (CG) Series Theory of Operation OPERATION INFORMATION A service technician should understand how a gas appliance operates before attempting to service the appliance. This section provides descriptions of the different types of fuel gases and explains gas heating values. A definition of specific gravity of gas is given along with its characteristics and effects.

Cooktop Gas (CG) Series Cooktop Gas (CG) Series Theory of Operation PRINCIPLES OF GAS COMBUSTION: Combustion - When oxygen acts with a substance to produce large amounts of heat rapidly. Requirements for Combustion - There are three required elements for combustion to occur; Fuel (Gas), Oxygen (Air) and Heat (Ignition Temperature, which for gas is between 1100°F/593°C and 1200°F/649°C).

Cooktop Gas (CG) Series Cooktop Gas (CG) Series Theory of Operation Burner Components: Burner Cap - Provides upper portion of ports required to create a combustible mix and proper flame quality of burn- er and the decorative top for burner with a black porcelain coating. Burner Assembly - Contains burner ports where gas/air mixture ignites.

Cooktop Gas (CG) Series Cooktop Gas (CG) Series Theory of Operation OPERATION OF THE 30” and 36” WOLF COOKTOP GAS Surface Burners A spark electrode ignites each surface burner. This control eliminates need for continuous open flame pilots. For added safety and convenience, each burner is designed with an electronic re-ignition system. This feature enables any burner to automatically re-light in the event it is accidentally extinguished.

Cooktop Gas (CG) Series Cooktop Gas (CG) Series Component Removal Gas Valve Bypass Screw Orifice Each gas valve has two bypass screw orifices installed on the valve body. On sealed burners this bypass screw is not adjustable. If there is concern that the wrong bypass screw has been installed into a gas valve, size of bypass screw can be confirmed by comparing number stamped on bypass screw to orifice chart in Section 5.
