Laid out with six open burners alongside an infrared dual griddle across a 60-inch top, the R606DG is an all-gas range. Its cooktop ignition runs through a spark module feeding an electrode at each burner, and each burner valve carries its own micro-switch that tells the module when to spark.
The R606DG’s most common call is a surface burner that sparks constantly even after lighting. On this platform that is almost always the micro-switch at the valve or a chafed electrode wire shorting to the chassis, not the burner head. The dual griddle doubles the heated plate area and runs on two independently controlled infrared burners, so one half going cold while the other stays hot is a normal symptom pattern and a useful one to report.
Wolf numbers are descriptive rather than arbitrary, and this one decodes cleanly: R for the original professional gas range line, 60 for the cabinet width in inches, 6 for the six open burners and DG for the infrared dual griddle. 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
Gas oven bakes consistently above or below the set temperature
Oven burner will not ignite at all
Persistent gas smell near the range — a safety call, not a routine repair
Dual griddle will not heat, or heats unevenly across its surface
