Replacing Capacitor with a slightly less capacitance
My old Candy Microwave has a 1.2uF 2100V Capacitor. I could not find a replacement with the same capacitance, but only one with 1.14 uF 2100V. Would it be OK to replace with that one?
Ist dies eine gute Frage?

If you are within 5 to 10 % you will most certainly be fine. You will never find anyone who had a problem using a capacitor that was 0.05 uF different from the original. But certainly don't push it past 20%.
Despite some other comments, the capacitor is NOT part of any tuned oscillator working in conjunction with the magnetron. The magnetron is a self contained oscillator.
