Important: If your microwave model is not listed or if you are unsure, please measure your existing tray or consult your microwave's user manual to confirm the required diameter and part number before ordering.

Installation Instructions

1. Prepare the Microwave: Ensure your microwave oven is unplugged and the interior is clean and free of any food debris or obstructions.
2. Place the Roller Ring: Position the microwave's roller ring (also known as the turntable support or carousel support) in the center of the microwave cavity. Ensure it sits flat and can rotate freely.
3. Position the Glass Tray: Carefully place the new Samsung Glass Cooking Tray onto the roller ring. The center of the glass tray has indentations or a hub designed to fit over the rotating coupler in the microwave floor. Align these features so the tray sits securely and level on the roller ring and the central coupler.
4. Verify Placement: Gently rotate the tray by hand to ensure it moves smoothly and is properly seated on the roller ring and central coupler. It should not wobble or tilt excessively.
5. Plug In: Once the tray is correctly installed, you may plug in your microwave oven.

Operating Your Microwave with the New Tray

The glass cooking tray is a passive component designed to rotate food for even heating. Once installed, operate your microwave oven as usual according to its own user manual. Ensure food containers are centered on the tray for optimal rotation and heating.

Care and Cleaning

• Regular Cleaning: Clean the glass tray regularly to prevent food buildup.
• Washing: The tray can be washed by hand with warm, soapy water or placed in a dishwasher.
• Stubborn Stains: For stubborn food residues, soak the tray in warm, soapy water before scrubbing with a non-abrasive sponge or cloth.
• Drying: Ensure the tray is completely dry before placing it back into the microwave.
• Avoid Abrasives: Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or sharp objects on the glass surface, as these can scratch or damage the tray.

Troubleshooting

• Tray Does Not Rotate:
  • Check if the tray is properly seated on the roller ring and the central rotating coupler.
  • Ensure the roller ring itself is clean and free of debris, allowing it to turn freely.
  • Verify that the central coupler (the part that spins the tray) is not damaged or obstructed.
• Tray Wobbles or Is Not Level:
  • Re-seat the tray, ensuring it is correctly aligned with the roller ring and central coupler.
  • Inspect the roller ring for any damage or missing wheels.
  • Confirm that the microwave's interior floor is clean and level.
• Tray Does Not Fit:
  • Double-check the diameter of the tray against your microwave's specifications.
  • Confirm your microwave model number is listed in the compatibility section or matches the required part number (DE74-20015).
  • If the tray is the incorrect size, it may not be compatible with your specific microwave model.
