ABSTRACT:
An improved gas fueled cooking appliance incorporating surface heating units comprising burners with automatic reignition capability adapted for use in combination with surface level downdraft venting is provided with an air deflector disposed proximate the igniter to alter the flow of air in the vicinity of the igniter so as to prevent the downdraft vent induced air flow from moving the flame from the igniter. In a preferred form the air deflector is a thin wall extending upwardly from the cooktop surface. The wall extends away from the burner with the end of the wall nearest the burner being laterally spaced from and even with or downstream from the igniter electrode located on the periphery of the burner.
