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 (6). 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.
