When to Replace

Installation Tips

• Disconnect the microwave from its power source before starting the replacement.
• Allow the old bulb to cool completely before handling to prevent burns.
• Access is typically through a cover on the underside of the microwave, secured by a screw.
• Handle the new bulb with a cloth or gloves to avoid transferring skin oils, which can reduce its lifespan.
• Screw the new bulb in until it is snug; do not overtighten.
