6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your new grate, consider the following:

• Grate does not fit: Double-check your stove's model number against the compatible list. Ensure you have purchased the correct side grate (left or right, if applicable) or the correct size for your specific stove configuration. Refer to Section 3 for guidance on finding your model number.
• Grate appears unstable: Ensure the grate is properly seated in its designated position on the cooktop. Check for any debris or obstructions underneath the grate that might prevent it from sitting level.
• Rusting: Cast iron can rust if not dried properly after cleaning. Always ensure the grate is completely dry before storage or re-installation. For minor rust, it can often be removed with a stiff brush and then re-seasoned if desired (though these are enamel coated to resist rust).
