Manufacturer:
The Southbend 1183246 Range IR Burner Assembly works by releasing infrared heat via the burner surface when gas is ignited and this creates a uniform and controlled heating source. This works to make high-intensity radiant energy focused on food items to make them melt, brown, or finish quickly. The assembly is generally installed in the area of commercial ranges which is placed above the cooking area to provide localized heat to specific culinary uses.

Produces concentrated infrared radiant heat for overhead cooking applications such as melting, browning, and finishing food. The Southbend 1183246 Cheese Melter Infrared Burner Assembly uses gas combustion to generate thermal energy at the burner surface and directs radiant heat toward the cooking area. Its 10" × 6-5/8" × 4-3/4" configuration defines the physical arrangement of the assembly within the heating system. Stable burner operation helps provide consistent thermal exposure across the designated cooking area during normal equipment operation.

Heat Distribution:
Directs radiant energy toward the designated cooking area to provide controlled heat exposure. Proper burner positioning helps maintain the intended relationship between the heat source and cooking surface, supporting consistent melting, browning, and finishing results.

Burner Assembly Structure:
Combines the burner components required to produce and direct radiant heat within the appliance. The assembly must maintain its intended physical shape and position so that combustion and heat distribution occur correctly during operation.

Replacement Guidelines:
Replace the Cheese Melter Infrared Burner Assembly if it is cracked, damaged, deformed, burned, or no longer produces the required infrared heat output. Verify part number 1183246 before replacement to ensure you select the correct infrared burner assembly. Replace the burner assembly if deterioration affects heat generation, burner integrity, installation fit, or normal cheese melter operation.

Common Failure Symptoms:

  • Cracks or chips on the burner surface.
  • Warped or distorted burner assembly.
