摘要: A cooktop appliance includes a panel defining a plurality of openings. The panel may also include a plurality of clearance holes or a plurality of alignment slots, with each hole or slot positioned adjacent one respective opening. The cooktop appliance also includes a plurality of control valves mounted to the panel, each including a spark switch and a stem. The stem of each control valve extends through the panel at one corresponding opening. The cooktop appliance further includes a plurality of knobs, each knob mounted to a respective one control valve. The cooktop appliance also includes a unifying bracket positioned between the spark switches of the control valves and the panel. The unifying bracket includes a plurality of protrusions. Each protrusion may extend through a respective one alignment slot or through a respective one clearance hole.

摘要: The invention relates to a control valve system for use with a gas grill, and more particularly to a fuel shut off device that is attached to the fuel supply to turn it off, if the integrated timing device is allowed to accrue time equal to the preset amount of time set. A multi-segment tactile dial enables a user to feel the dial and set the appropriate time increment without having to look at the dial.

摘要: Methods and apparatus to indicate presence of a flame are disclosed. An example gas grill includes a burner tube having apertures to emit a fuel for combustion, an ignition element to cause ignition of the fuel emitted from the apertures of the burner tube, a flame sensor to detect the presence of a flame associated with the combustion of the fuel emitted from the apertures of the burner tube, and flame sense circuitry including a flame signal accessor to access a flame sense signal from the flame sensor, and a terminal to output an indication of the presence of the flame, the indication of the presence of the flame output without respect to an open or closed state of a lid of the grill.

摘要: Systems, methods, and devices include a griddle device with a heat management system and a digital control system. The griddle device includes a body defining an internal space and the heat management system is disposed within the internal space and below a griddle top. The heat management system includes one or more partitions and an underbracing panel to divide the internal space into a plurality of heat compartments, each with a primary burner, a secondary burner (e.g., a pilot burner), and/or a temperature sensor. The digital control system receives temperature data from the temperature sensors, compares the temperature data to a temperature threshold value, and actuates one or more gas valves to increase or decrease fuel supplied to the burners (e.g., the primary burner). Griddle leveling feet secure the griddle top to the body and are used to adjust the griddle top between a level position and a slanted position.

摘要: According to one aspect, a cooking apparatus having a main fuel manifold that provides fuel to at least one manual burner and at least one control valve, and at least one controlled fuel manifold in fluid communication with the at least one control valve, each controlled fuel manifold for providing fuel to at least one controlled burner. The cooking apparatus also includes at least one thermocouple, each thermocouple monitoring at least one measured temperature within the cooking apparatus. The cooking apparatus also includes an input device for receiving a desired temperature set-point. The cooking apparatus also includes a controller having a microprocessor operable to compare the at least one measured temperature and the temperature set-point. In response to the comparison, the controller will selectively adjust the at least one control valve to restrict an amount of fuel flowing to the at least one controlled fuel manifold.

摘要: A cooktop appliance defines a vertical direction, a lateral direction, and a transverse direction. The vertical direction, the lateral direction, and the transverse direction are mutually perpendicular. The cooktop appliance includes a top panel with a gas burner disposed on the top panel. A terminal block is positioned on the top panel adjacent to the burner. The cooktop appliance also includes a grate with a plurality of fingers removably positioned above the gas burner. The plurality of fingers include a sensor finger. A temperature sensor is rotatably mounted to the sensor finger of the plurality of fingers of the grate whereby the temperature sensor is movable along the vertical direction between an elevated position and a lowered position.
