• Helps keep pots and pans stable on the cooktop while cooking
• Maintains the appliance's intended spacing and airflow around burners for consistent burner performance
• Matches OEM fit and finish for proper seating on the cooktop

• One center grate

• Lift off the old grate and set the replacement into place; no tools typically required
• Ensure the cooktop and grate are cool before handling to avoid burns
• Inspect grate seating to ensure it sits flat and does not rock; adjust surrounding grates as needed
• Clean with non-abrasive cleaners; avoid metal scouring pads to protect the enamel finish

This burner head is used on gas ranges to provide the cooking heat. The burner head is attached to the burner tube assembly that supplies the gas. When the burner is ignited, the holes in the burner head produce the flame that is used for cooking. Over time, food spills and normal corrosion may cause the holes in the burner head to become clogged or damaged. If this occurs, food will not cook evenly, or the burner may not ignite. The burner head should be removed and replaced. Turn the gas and power off to the stove. Remove the burner grate and burner cap and set them aside. Lift the burner head off the stove and dispose of it. Place the new burner head over the burner base and make sure the pin goes inside it. Seat the burner head level over the hole and make sure it is level. Place the burner cap and grate back on the stove. Reconnect the gas and power.This burner head is an authentic OEM replacement part sourced directly from the manufacturer for use on gas ranges by Kenmore, Frigidaire, Crosley, and Electrolux. It is a silver metal part that is sold individually.
