This burner head, or surface burner, is used in ranges and ovens. The burner sends gas through the holes and slots to create an equal flame across the cooking area. If the gas igniter glows but will not light up, or there are heating inconsistencies, replacing the burner head could be the solution to your problem. No tools are required for this installation. To change the burner, first lift the grate and take the burner cap off. Next, lift the burner away from the cooktop. To set the new burner in place correctly, check the locating tab that fits into the V-shaped notch and make sure the igniter fits into the cut-out.
