A/488/13 Genuine Fish Burner Cup with Ignition and Thermocouple Holes for ILVE Gas Cooktops and Cookers, Burner Base

A/488/13 is the genuine ILVE burner cup for the fish burner, the long burner found on some ILVE cooktops and cookers for fish kettles and other long pans. It's the base cup the burner sits in, and this version has holes for both the ignition electrode and the safety valve thermocouple. Make sure your burner uses both, then match A/488/13 to the parts list for your model before ordering.

What the ILVE fish burner cup does

The burner cup is the base of the burner assembly. It holds the burner head in position over the gas jet and carries the spark electrode and the flame failure thermocouple at the right height. Spills, cleaning chemicals and years of heat can corrode or crack a cup, distort its mounting points or enlarge the electrode and thermocouple holes. Symptoms include a burner that won't sit level, ignition that clicks without lighting, uneven flames, or a burner that keeps going out because the thermocouple has moved away from the flame.

• Burner cup for the fish burner
• Hole for the ignition electrode

Gas fitter required

Burner cups form part of the gas assembly, so in Australia this job belongs to a licensed gas fitter. The gas supply and power to the ignition must be turned off first. The fitter will move the electrode and thermocouple into the new cup, refit it over the jet, then leak test and check the flame and the safety cut-out on every setting.

Questions about this part

What do the IGN and S.V. holes mean?

IGN is the hole for the ignition electrode that sparks to light the burner. S.V. refers to the safety valve, meaning the hole for the flame failure thermocouple. This cup has both, so it suits fish burners fitted with ignition and flame failure protection.
