4055842555 Genuine Hood Glass Panel for Electrolux Group Gas Barbecues, BBQ Roasting Hood Window Glass Replacement

Hood window cracked from a cold rain shower on hot glass, or broken by a knock? 4055842555 is the genuine glass panel from the hood assembly of an Electrolux group gas barbecue. The window lets you watch a roast without lifting the hood and losing heat. Glass panels are sized for a particular hood, so check the 4055842555 number or your barbecue model with us before ordering.

Why barbecue hood glass cracks

Hood glass has to handle high heat on the inside and the weather on the outside. Thermal shock is the most common cause of breakage, for example when cold water or rain hits hot glass, or the burners are run on high under a closed hood for long periods. Impact from a dropped utensil or a slammed hood can also chip or crack it. A cracked panel lets heat escape, makes the hood harder to keep clean, and could break further and drop glass onto the cooking area, so stop using the hood until it's replaced.

Fitting the hood glass

Turn off the gas at the cylinder or isolation valve and let the barbecue go completely cold. Wear gloves and eye protection when removing broken glass. Note how the old panel is held, typically by brackets, clips or a frame with screws, and how any gasket sits. Fit the new glass with even pressure on all fixings so it isn't stressed, then heat the barbecue gently the first time.
