140042387021 Genuine Cast Wok Trivet for Electrolux Group Forte 90cm Gas Cooktops, Wok Burner Pan Support A04238702

Genuine Electrolux trivet 140042387021, also catalogued as A04238702, is the cast pan support that sits over the wok burner on Forte range 90cm gas cooktops. It's made for the wok position rather than the standard burners. The standard and centre positions use different trivets with their own numbers, so check your parts list if you need more than one.

Replacing a damaged wok burner trivet

The wok position sees the most heat on a gas cooktop, and the trivet above it takes the brunt. Over time the casting can crack, the fingers can warp or burn away at the tips, and enamel can flake around the hottest areas. A damaged wok trivet lets the pan sit unevenly or too close to the flame, which affects cooking and can leave the wok unstable. Using the wrong trivet over the wok burner can also give a lazy yellow flame and soot on your pans.

Fitting the wok trivet

Turn the gas burners off and let the cooktop cool before handling the trivets. Remove the old wok trivet and wipe the burner area clean. Place the new trivet over the wok burner, making sure it seats on its locating points, and check it doesn't move. Run the wok burner briefly with a wok on top to confirm a clean blue flame.

Questions about this part

Can I use this trivet on the standard burners?

It's made for the wok position. The standard and centre spots on Forte 90cm cooktops have their own trivets with different numbers. Using the matching trivet for each spot keeps pans at the right height above the flame.
