10. Make sure the heater element is completely seated inside the groove.

The heater element should be 0.5 mm (0.02 in.) lower than the top

surface.

11. Do not bend the unbendable zones of the heater element. This is the last

35 mm (1.4 in) area on each end. See below.

35 mm (1.4 in)

12. Crimp the wire with the proper size crimper pin. Connect it to the heater

threaded pin with the ceramic terminal connecter.
