3. Installation (Setup)

This section provides general instructions for replacing a 6-inch stove range oven burner. Specific steps may vary slightly depending on your appliance model. Always refer to your appliance's original service manual for detailed instructions.

1. Prepare for Installation:

   • Clear the work area around the burner.
2. Remove the Old Burner:

   • Note the orientation of the old burner for correct installation of the new one.
3. Inspect the Receptacle:
   • Examine the terminal block (receptacle) where the burner prongs connect. Ensure it is clean and free of corrosion or damage. Clean if necessary.
4. Install the New Burner:
   • Align the two prongs of the new ClimaTek burner with the openings in the terminal block.
   • Gently push the burner firmly into the receptacle until the prongs are fully seated. Ensure a snug and secure connection.
   • Position the burner correctly on the drip pan or support brackets.
5. Test the Installation:
   • Reconnect the appliance to its power source.
   • Turn on the burner to a low setting and observe if it heats up evenly and glows red.

If the burner does not heat or heats unevenly, refer to the Troubleshooting section or consult a qualified technician.
