APPENDIX F Exchange of Electrodes

Turn power off and unplug power cord.

Open the shield. The FigureF-1 shows the structure of the
electrodes.

Removed electrode by loosing screw of the electrode holder.
Insert new pair of electrodes and tighten screw alternately
while pushing insulated part of the electrode.

Plug in the power cord, turn on the power switch, and then
stabilize electrodes.
