The VGIQ542241 adds an infrared ceramic searing burner to Viking’s standard grill burner lineup, a genuinely different technology from the open-flame burners used elsewhere on the grill. Because the infrared burner’s ceramic element behaves differently under heat than a standard metal burner, a technician diagnoses a weak-infrared complaint separately from a standard-burner ignition issue.
