Burner Cap 00189016

This is a genuine OEM replacement burner cap part sourced directly from the manufacturer intended for use on gas stoves. This burner cap is made for the C burner. Burner caps cover the burner head where the flame comes out to cook the food. The burner cap spreads the flame out rather than allowing it to shoot straight up. This helps to cook the food evenly by heating the pans on the burner grate around the bottom rather than just the middle. The burner cap also helps protect the burner head from spills that occur when food boils over. Food spills could clog the gas burner and cause more extensive damage to the stovetop.The stove should be cool enough to touch before the burner cap is replaced. Unplug its power source and turn the gas off to the stove. Remove the burner grate and burner cap from the stove. Place the new burner cap over the burner head and replace the burner grate. Reconnect its power source and turn the gas back on.This burner cap for C burners is made of heavy-duty metal. It is individually sold and made for gas stoves manufactured by Thermador and Bosch.
