Wolf built the R484CG as a 48-inch range with four open burners alongside an infrared charbroiler and an infrared griddle, and unlike the Dual Fuel line it keeps gas on both sides of the appliance — the oven cavity is heated by a gas burner and regulated by an oven thermostat rather than by an electric element and a solid-state sensor.
Oven-side complaints on the R484CG tend to be about temperature rather than outright failure: a gas oven that bakes low or high is often a thermostat calibration issue, while a cavity that never lights points at the safety valve or the oven burner itself. The infrared charbroiler is its own heating assembly with its own burner and igniter, so a charbroiler that will not light says nothing about the open burners beside it. The infrared griddle is a separate heated surface with its own burner and control, and a cold spot on it is a griddle-side diagnosis rather than a cooktop one.
If you are working out exactly which unit you have, the number spells it out: R for the original professional gas range line, 48 for the cabinet width in inches, 4 for the four open burners, C for the infrared charbroiler and G for the infrared 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
