Cooks who simmer a lot are the natural owners of the NGM8046UC. It sits in the 800 Series, fits a 30 inch cutout, and has five sealed burners at 48,600 BTU, the most in Bosch’s current 30 inch range. The 800 Series brings Bosch’s better burner hardware, including a properly low simmer setting.
That simmer is the feature we try hardest to protect, since it relies on the valve being set correctly. When a good simmer burner stops simmering, the usual reason is a valve that was knocked out of adjustment during cleaning or a move. The reverse also happens, with the flame going out because the valve is set too lean.
Searing is the other thing that shapes how these age. Repeated high-heat cooking can foul the electrode on the strongest burner. On a visit we test the flame at its lowest setting, adjust the valve if it needs it, and clean the electrode. Propane conversion is a separate job that calls for its own burner adjustment.
The valve is probably set too lean at its lowest position, or a draft or a dirty port is disturbing the flame. A technician can set the low flame so it stays lit without running too hot.
Not advisable. The adjustment sits on the valve and affects gas flow. A small error can leave the flame unstable. We make it and then verify the flame at the lowest setting.
Yes. Propane needs different settings than natural gas, including the low flame, so the conversion should be done with the right parts and then checked burner by burner.
