Kenyon B49512 Burner

The Kenyon B49512 is designed to fit into standard coil cooktop openings, making it a straightforward replacement for many older electric models. Its dimensions are 21 inches wide by 17 inches deep, so be sure to measure your current cutout to ensure a snug fit.

Yes, because this unit uses a pigtail hardwire connection rather than a standard plug, professional installation by a qualified electrician is recommended to ensure safety and compliance with local codes.

You should use flat-bottomed cookware to ensure proper heat transfer and prevent scratching the glass surface. While most stainless steel, enameled cast iron, and ceramic cookware work well, avoid using cast iron with rough bottoms or oversized pots that extend significantly beyond the burner edges.

This model features two distinct burners: a 6.5-inch burner for smaller pots and simmering, and an 8-inch burner for larger pans and faster boiling. This dual-size setup provides versatility for different cooking tasks without wasting energy.

The ceramic glass surface is designed for easy maintenance. Because it is a smooth, flat surface, spills don't get trapped in coils; simply wipe it down with a damp cloth or a dedicated ceramic cooktop cleaner once the surface has cooled.

The cooktop includes heat-limiting surface technology to prevent overheating, as well as clear burner status indicator lights that let you know at a glance if a burner is still hot, even after you have turned the knob to the off position.
