The turntable rotates in both directions to help cook food more
evenly. Do not operate the microwave oven without having the
turntable in place. See the "Assistance or Service" section to
reorder any of the parts.
The raised, curved lines in the center of the turntable bottom
fit between the three spokes of the hub. The hub turns the
turntable during microwave oven use. The rollers on the support
should fit inside the turntable bottom ridge.
NOTE: The microwave oven cooling fan may continue to run for
several minutes after the cooking cycle has been completed.
The microwave cooking does not continue beyond the end of
cooking cycle.
To Turn On/Off
For best microwave oven performance, it is recommended to
always leave the turntable on. If necessary, the turntable can be
turned off (except during an auto function).
This is helpful when cooking with a dish that is larger than the
turntable.
