The R484F is a 48-inch all-gas Wolf range carrying four open burners alongside a French top. Both halves of it burn gas: sealed surface burners lit by a spark module and electrodes on top, and a thermostatically controlled gas oven burner underneath, which is the single biggest difference between this range and a Dual Fuel model of the same width.
Ignition faults across the R484F’s burners are diagnosed one burner at a time, because the spark module fires all of them together — so a module problem shows up everywhere at once, while a single stubborn burner is local to that burner. The French top is a solid heated plate with a hot centre and a cooler perimeter by design — a gradient that is intentional, not a fault, though a top that never gets hot in the middle is.
For anyone matching parts or a replacement, the number reads as R for the original professional gas range line, 48 for the cabinet width in inches, 4 for the four open burners and F for the French top. That convention has barely changed since: Wolf still spells the same charbroiler, griddle and French top options the same way on its current ranges and rangetops.

Most Common Issues on This Model
Surface burner will not light, or keeps sparking after it has lit

Persistent gas smell near the range — a safety call, not a routine repair
French top will not heat, or heats unevenly across its surface
