3. Setup and Installation
Follow these steps to correctly install the glass turntable plate in your Swan microwave oven:
- Unplug the Microwave: Ensure your microwave oven is disconnected from the power supply before beginning.
- Remove Old Components (if applicable): If replacing an existing plate, carefully remove the old glass plate and the roller ring from the microwave cavity.
- Clean the Cavity: Clean the microwave oven cavity, especially the area where the roller ring sits and the central coupler, to remove any food debris.
- Place the Roller Ring: Position the roller ring securely in the circular indentation at the bottom of the microwave cavity.
- Install the Glass Plate: Carefully place the new 270mm glass turntable plate onto the central coupler (the rotating shaft) and the roller ring. Ensure the plate's indentations align with the coupler.
- Verify Fit: Gently rotate the plate by hand to confirm it sits securely and can rotate freely without obstruction.
4. Operating Instructions
The glass turntable plate is designed to rotate food evenly during microwave cooking, ensuring consistent heating results.
- Always ensure the turntable plate is correctly seated on the roller ring and central coupler before operating the microwave oven.
- Place food containers centrally on the turntable plate for optimal rotation and heating.

- Avoid placing excessively heavy items on the turntable plate that could impede its rotation or cause damage.
