A gas cooking range of the smooth top type has four burners positioned under a single plate of heat-resistant glass/ceramic material; and a single igniter and safety control assembly is centrally positioned between the burners. The supply of gas to each of the burners flows through an ignition chamber where it is ignited, and it then flows through a combustion tube to a combustion chamber, where combustion is completed. Some air is mixed with the gas at the fuel supply control valve, and additional air is supplied through the ignition chamber. The burning gas mixture then flows through the combustion tube to the combustion chamber at the entrance of which an additional quantity of air is added to provide the remainder of air necessary for complete combustion. Air is drawn into the system, and the products of combustion are exhausted by a blower positioned at the lower rear of the range so that a negative pressure condition is maintained along the entire path of flow of the fuel gas from the control valve and through the combustion chamber.
