Inserting the glass turntable
Before using the oven, ensure the glass turntable (2) is seated correctly on
the turntable ring (5) and on its shaft (5). The glass turntable must lie on top
of the turntable ring in the recess of the microwave oven base, so that the
three studs on the turntable shaft fit between those on the base of the
glass turntable.
Before using the microwave oven for the first time
The first time the microwave oven is used, a small amount of smoke and
smell may be emitted. This is due to oil residue from manufacture and is
neither abnormal or dangerous. Smells can eliminated by starting the grill
program and letting it run for a few minutes. Smells and smoke should
disappear as a result. Repeat the procedure if this is not the case.
