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.
3. Hold the coil element as level as possible with
the terminal just started into the receptacle. Push
the coil element terminal into the receptacle.
2. Line up openings in the reflector bowl with the
coil element receptacle.
