Using this ignition electrode is straightforward. First, make sure your stove is turned off and unplugged. Then, locate the grill burner where the old electrode is installed. Unscrew the small metal bracket holding the old electrode in place and remove it. Take your new electrode and align it with the bracket, screwing it firmly in place. Connect the 2.8mm spade terminal to the electronic ignition lead. Before turning the stove back on, double - check that everything is securely connected. When it comes to maintenance, keep the electrode clean from debris and grease. You can use a soft brush to gently clean it. If you notice any signs of wear or if the ignition doesn't work properly, it might be time to replace the electrode. Always follow the safety instructions in your stove's user manual.
