the receptacle, lift a little on the edge of the
unit nearest the receptacle.
5. When the terminal is pushed into the recep-
tacle as far as it will go, the coil element will flt

Reflector bowls reflect heat back to
the utensils 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 gets discolored,
some of the utensils used may not be flat
enough. Or some may be too large for
the coil element. In either case, some of
the heat that is meant to go into or
around a utensil goes down and heats
the reflector bowl. This extra heat can
discolor it.
