The PCG486WD is Thermador’s largest current gas rangetop, spanning 48 inches with 6 sealed burners and a built-in griddle, rated at 108,000 total BTU on natural gas (90,000 on LP) with ExtraLow simmer capability. It ships with cast-iron pan supports, the griddle plate, and an island trim kit.
Given its size and total gas draw, this rangetop benefits from checking the incoming gas supply line and regulator when several burners underperform together, while individual burner or griddle hot/cold spots are usually a local burner-tube, cap, or port issue rather than a supply-side problem.

Most Common Issues on This Model
If you smell gas, shut off the gas supply at the shutoff valve first before inspecting any burner or the griddle.
On a unit this wide, check gas-line sizing and supply pressure if multiple burners run weak at once rather than assuming each burner failed independently.
A griddle with a hot spot or cold spot usually indicates the burner tube beneath it needs cleaning or realignment.
