Description
Original medium tripod for Delonghi gas stove | 217811
The 217811 tripod is the medium-sized pot holder for the DeLonghi NDG and NSL series gas stoves.
It is placed above the burners and serves as a support surface for the pot during cooking.
An original tripod ensures perfect stability, uniform height, and prevents the pot from moving while cooking.
Cast iron from Italy: Why is the original DeLonghi tripod different?
DeLonghi gas stoves are made in Italy and designed to work with heavy cast iron hobs.
Since the height of the tripod determines the correct distance between the pot and the burner,
An original tripod ensures optimal cooking efficiency and prevents overloading the burner.
In addition, a non-original tripod at the wrong height may cause the safety sensor to malfunction and compromise the integrity of the device.

✅ Heavy cast iron with black enamel coating
✅ Precise height according to DeLonghi burner design

⚠️ A broken or bent tripod may cause an unstable pot and risk of burns. Replace immediately.
Why does a stove tripod break?
Cast iron tripods are very durable, but can break under certain circumstances:
- Falling a heavy pot or heavy object directly onto the tripod
- Using strong acidic cleaners that peel off the coating
- Prolonged exposure to very high heat without a pot
- Damage from a busy surface that forces the legs to bend
Where do you find the model number of the stove?
You will find the model number of the stove on a sticker on the bottom of the stove.
The model number is essential to verify tripod compatibility before ordering, as DeLonghi manufactures several different sizes of tripods for different models.

🔧 Installation instructions
Replacing a tripod on a gas stove is a simple operation that does not require tools:
- Turn off all burners and make sure the stove is completely cold.
- Lift the old tripod straight up over the burner.
- Check that the burner is clean before installing the new tripod.
- Place the new tripod on top of the burner so that the legs sit firmly on the stovetop.
- Check stability by pressing gently before placing a pot
Estimated time: 2 minutes. You don't need any special tools.
💡 Tip from the experts
To preserve the tripod for years to come, avoid soaking it in highly concentrated soapy water, as this accelerates peeling of the coating.
Recommended cleaning: Rub with a damp sponge and a little dish soap after each use. Drying immediately prevents rust.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Why does a stove tripod suddenly break?
Cast iron is very durable, but sensitive after strong blows.
A heavy pot falling, a direct impact, or prolonged exposure to extreme heat can cause a crack.
In addition, a coating that peels off over time exposes the iron to rust, which weakens the structure.
Replacing it with an original tripod solves the problem for many years.
Are all stove tripods the same?
No. Every manufacturer and every model series has tripods of different sizes and heights.
A tripod at the wrong height will cause the pot to be too far or too close to the burner, affecting cooking efficiency and the integrity of the safety sensor.
Therefore, it is important to order only an original tripod for your specific model.
How do you replace a tripod on a gas stove?
Replacing a tripod is very simple: turn off the stove, wait for it to cool, lift the old one, and place the new one.
No tools required, no need to disconnect from gas, and no technician required. The operation takes about 2 minutes.
What is the material of the Delonghi stove tripod?
DeLonghi tripods are made of cast iron with a black enamel coating.
Cast iron is the highest quality material for stovetop tripods, as it is heavy, sturdy, and resistant to high temperatures.
The enamel coating protects against rust and makes cleaning easier.
Is a broken tripod dangerous?
Yes. A broken or bent tripod creates an unstable surface that can cause the pot to tip over and cause burns.
Additionally, a tripod at the wrong height may impair the function of the stove's safety sensor. A broken tripod should be replaced before the next cooking session.
