Abstract
A gas cooktop includes a primary gas burner, an auxiliary gas burner positioned adjacent to the primary gas burner, a fuel supply system, a griddle positioned over the primary gas burner and the auxiliary gas burner, and a temperature probe configured for receipt within the griddle proximate the auxiliary gas burner. A controller is configured to initiate operation of the fuel supply system in the auto griddle mode where a flow of fuel is supplied to operate the primary gas burner and the auxiliary gas burner at a target heat level, obtain a griddle temperature of the griddle using the temperature probe, identify a heating failure based at least in part on the griddle temperature, and implement a responsive action in response to identifying the heating failure.
