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 ele-
ment. In either case, some of the heat
that is meant to go into or around cook-
ware goes down and heats the reflector
bowl. This extra heat can cause it to
change color.
Replacing
2.
To replace, align pins on underside of
collar with holes on cooktop surface
and press down firmly.
