wrist watch before performing the replacement and use a non-magnetic
screwdriver to dismount the magnetron.

life depends on usage.

3. Dismount and replace the magnetron.

Chapter 3 for heater voltage rating, and potentiometer to be adjusted.
5. Allow at least 30 minutes under ST-BY for pre-heating.
