3.Hold the surface unit level with the prongs (terminals) pointing at the plug-in.

4.With the prongs started in the plug-in, start pushing in on the surface unit. At the same time, lift a little on the side of the surface unit that’s by the plug-in.

5.Make sure the surface-unit prongs are pushed into the plug-in as far as they will go. The surface unit should fit into the reflector bowl and be level.
