COIL ELEMENTS AND REFLECTOR BOWLS (CONT.)
4. When the terminal is pushed into the receptacle
as far as it will go, push down the edge of the
coil element opposite the receptacle.
NOTE: Reflector bowls reflect heat back to
the cookware on the coil elements. They also
help catch spills. When they are kept clean, they
reflect heat better and look new longer.
If a reflector bowl changes color, some of your
cookware may not be flat enough, or some may be
too large for the coil element. In either case, some
of the heat that’s meant to go into or around cook-
ware goes down and heats the reflector bowl. This
extra heat can cause it to change color.
LIFT-UP COOKTOP
NOTE: Do not drop the cooktop. Damage could
result to the porcelain and the cooktop frame.
1. Lift the front of the cooktop at both front corners
until the support rods lock into place.
2. Wipe the surface under the cooktop with warm,
soapy water and a sponge. Use a soapy steel-
wool pad on heavily soiled areas.
3. To lower the cooktop, lift the cooktop from both
sides while pressing the support rods back to
unlock them. Lower the cooktop into place.
3. Hold the coil element as level as possible with
the terminal just started into the receptacle.
Push the coil element terminal into the recep-
tacle.
