Do: Take the plate out flat, never on edge; a dropped corner dents a 10 mm cast slab. Lay it on a clean towel. It ends up on the two bed extrusions, cables above the deck.
Check
Three cables leave the plate at the back-centre edge, with the M4×6 PE screw beside them. Washer type (verify on bench).
What you're looking at
Manual p.52: the finished bed and its three parts. The build plate is a 355 × 355 × 10 mm cast aluminium slab with the AC heater pad bonded underneath. The magnetic pad laminates on top. The flex plate is the removable spring-steel print surface.
