# Bertazzoni range tops

### The deck off a range, with a cupboard where the oven would be

A Bertazzoni range top is thirty-six inches of the same cooking surface the ranges carry — brass burners on cast grates, or an induction deck — set into a counter with cabinetry beneath. Kitchens choose one to put the ovens at eye level somewhere else and keep the cooking where the cooking happens.

Above the counter, the repair is the range repair: burners, caps, grates, igniters, valves. Below it, nothing is the same, and that is what decides how long a visit runs.

### What we are called out for

- **A brass burner lighting unevenly.** Ports under the cap, and clearing them is free.
- **A burner that will not simmer.** The valve, or a gas supply stretched across several burners at once.
- **Igniters clicking after the burner has lit.** Moisture, until the deck is dry and it still does it.
- **Knobs and the front panel**, which sit directly under the deck in the hottest and most spilled-on place in the kitchen.

### The South Florida part

A range top sends its heat down into the cabinet it stands over. In a kitchen that is not conditioned all summer that cabinet gets warm, and where it shares a run with a wine column or an undercounter refrigerator, the cold appliance complains first. The call arrives about the cold one; what changed is next to it.

### What to have ready when you call

The model number from the plate under the deck or behind the kick panel, whether it is gas or induction, which burner or zone is affected, and whether the problem is lighting, simmering or the controls.

The South Florida part

A range top sends its heat down into the cabinet it stands over. In a kitchen that is not conditioned all summer that cabinet gets warm, and where it shares a run with a wine column or an undercounter refrigerator, the cold appliance complains first. The call arrives about the cold one; what changed is next to it.

The model number from the plate under the deck or behind the kick panel, whether it is gas or induction, which burner or zone is affected, and whether the problem is lighting, simmering or the controls.

### What is the difference between a range top and a cooktop?

Where the controls are, and what is underneath. A range top carries its knobs on a front panel below the deck, has cast grates edge to edge, and sits over a cabinet. A cooktop drops into the counter with its controls in the surface and can have almost anything below it. They look alike across a kitchen and share very little on a parts list.

### One brass burner lights on one side only.

That is the port ring under the cap rather than the igniter, and it is the most common call on this equipment. Lift the cap, check it is seated square on its ring, and clear the ports — this is a real fix, it costs nothing, and it is worth doing before booking anything. A burner that still lights unevenly with clean ports and a seated cap is a gas-side visit.

### It will not simmer any more.

A burner that runs but will not go low is usually the valve. The other honest possibility on a thirty-six inch deck is the gas supply being asked for more than it can deliver with several burners running, which is an installation question rather than an appliance one — and we would rather establish which it is before quoting a part.

### How do you reach it with a cabinet underneath?

From inside that cabinet. A range is pulled forward on its feet; a range top cannot be, so the valve bank, the manifold and the spark module are reached from below, which means emptying a cupboard and working in it. That is the whole reason we ask what you have before we arrive rather than discovering it in your kitchen.
