Setup and Installation

1. Unpack: Carefully remove the new glass plate from its packaging. Inspect it for any signs of damage. Do not use if cracked or chipped.
2. Prepare Microwave: Ensure your microwave oven is unplugged from the power outlet before installation. Remove any existing glass plate, roller ring, or coupler from the microwave cavity.
3. Install Roller Ring: Place the microwave's roller ring (if applicable, usually a circular plastic ring with wheels) into the circular indentation at the bottom of the microwave cavity. Ensure it rotates freely.
4. Position Coupler: Verify that the central coupler (the part that engages with the glass plate's underside) is correctly seated and clean.
5. Place Glass Plate: Carefully place the new Panasonic 340 mm glass plate onto the roller ring and align its central indentations with the microwave's coupler. Gently rotate the plate to ensure it sits securely and can turn freely on the roller ring and coupler.
6. Test: Plug the microwave back into the power outlet. Place a microwave-safe cup of water on the plate and run the microwave for 30 seconds to ensure the plate rotates smoothly.

Operating Guidelines

Once installed, the glass plate functions as the turntable for your microwave oven. Follow these guidelines for optimal performance:

• Always ensure the glass plate is properly seated on the roller ring and coupler before operating the microwave.
• Place food containers centrally on the glass plate for even heating.
• Do not overload the glass plate with excessively heavy items, as this can strain the turntable motor and roller ring.
• Avoid placing hot items directly from an oven onto a cold glass plate, or vice-versa, to prevent thermal shock which could cause cracking.
• Do not operate the microwave without the glass plate and roller ring in place, unless specifically instructed by your microwave oven's manual.

Maintenance and Care

Regular cleaning and proper care will extend the life of your glass plate:

• Cleaning: The glass plate can be removed for cleaning. Wash it with warm, soapy water or place it in the dishwasher (if microwave oven manual permits). Rinse thoroughly and dry completely before returning it to the microwave.
• Stains: For stubborn food stains, soak the plate in warm, soapy water before scrubbing with a non-abrasive sponge.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect the glass plate for any chips, cracks, or signs of wear. A damaged plate should be replaced immediately to prevent further issues or safety hazards.
• Roller Ring and Coupler: Also clean the roller ring and the central coupler regularly to ensure smooth rotation and prevent food debris from hindering movement.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your microwave's turntable after installing the new glass plate, consider the following:

• Plate Not Rotating:
  • Ensure the glass plate is correctly seated on the roller ring and coupler.
  • Check that the roller ring is clean and free of debris, allowing its wheels to turn freely.
  • Verify that the central coupler is properly engaged with the plate's underside.
  • Ensure no food or debris is obstructing the plate's movement within the microwave cavity.
• Plate Wobbles or Makes Noise:
  • Confirm the plate is centered and securely resting on the roller ring and coupler.
  • Inspect the roller ring for any damaged wheels or an uneven shape. Replace the roller ring if necessary.
  • Check the microwave cavity floor for any unevenness or debris.

If problems persist, consult your microwave oven's original instruction manual or contact Panasonic customer support.
