Abstract: A burner box divided into two chambers by a partition having two orifice hoods and an electrical connector rigidly mounted thereto, the hoods and connector facing into one of the chambers which functions as a compartment for removably inserting a modular gas burner cartridge. The cartridge may include a pan having two burners and an igniter attached therein. The positioning of the cartridge is such that the mixer heads of the burners align with the respective orifice hoods and the igniter couples to the connector. The connector has a recessed entrance for the high voltage receptacle so that a tapered ceramic insulator sleeve of the igniter conductor terminal fits therein.

Abstract: A modular gas operated heating cartridge adapted for inserting into a compartment of a surface gas range. The cartridge includes a pan in which is mounted an igniter and at least one gas burner. When positioned in the compartment, the mixer head of the burner aligns with an orifice hood secured within the compartment. Also, the igniter makes electrical contact with a connector secured within the compartment. The modular cartridge can be removed for repairing, cleaning, or changing the configuration of the range surface.
