We recommend that you clean your microwave before proceeding, as any nasty gunk on the bottom may end up stuck to the iOpener.

We recommend that you clean your microwave before proceeding, as whatever nasty gunk on the lesser may cease up stuck to the iOpener.
Identify the iOpener in the center of the microwave.
For carousel microwaves: Make certain the plate spins freely. If your iOpener gets stuck, it may overheat and burn.

Heat the iOpener for thirty seconds.
Throughout the repair procedure, every bit the iOpener cools, reheat information technology in the microwave for an additional thirty seconds at a time.
Be careful non to overheat the iOpener during the repair. Overheating may crusade the iOpener to outburst.
Never bear on the iOpener if it appears swollen.
If the iOpener is all the same too hot in the centre to impact, keep using it while waiting for it to cool downward some more before reheating. A properly heated iOpener should stay warm for upwardly to ten minutes.

Shift the iOpener to heat the remaining section of the panel for another two minutes.
A pilus dryer, heat gun, or hot plate may also be used, just exist careful not to overheat the phone—the OLED brandish and internal bombardment are both susceptible to heat impairment.

In one case the rear glass is hot to the touch, utilise a suction cup near the bottom edge of the glass.
