Replacing

1.Be sure coil elements are OFF.

2.Line up opening in the reflector bowl with the coil element receptacle.

3.Hold the coil element as level as possible

with the terminal just started into the receptacle.

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.

4.While pushing the coil element terminal into 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 fit into the reflector bowl.

Solid elements

Solid elements are not removable. After each use, wipe off the elements with a damp, soft cloth and soapy water. Burned-on food may be removed with a soapy scouring pad. The red spot in the center of the elements will gradually wash off. This is normal and will not affect the operation of the elements.

IMPORTANT: AFTER EACH CLEANING, HEAT ELEMENTS UNTIL DRY.

To darken elements or to remove rust spots caused by improper drying, apply a thin coat of salt-free oil to the CCCL elements, then heat for 3-5 minutes. If

elements have dark spots, the oil treatment will improve their appearance but will not eliminate the spots.

The stainless steel spillrings will gradually yellow from the heat of the elements and pans. This is normal. The yellowing can be removed by using stainless steel cleaner on the spillrings.
