3. Setup and Installation

Follow these steps to install the glass turntable tray:

1. Safety First: Before handling any microwave components, ensure the microwave oven is unplugged from the power outlet to prevent electrical hazards.
2. Prepare the Cavity: Clean the interior of the microwave oven, especially the area where the roller guide and turntable will sit, to remove any food debris or spills.
3. Place the Roller Guide: Position the microwave's roller guide (the circular ring with wheels) into the circular indentation on the microwave oven floor. Ensure it sits flat and can rotate freely.
4. Install the Glass Tray: Carefully place the HQRP glass turntable tray onto the roller guide. The center of the glass tray should align with the coupler (the rotating shaft) in the center of the microwave oven floor. Ensure the tray sits securely on the roller guide and the coupler.
5. Test Functionality: Plug the microwave oven back into the power outlet. Place a microwave-safe cup of water on the turntable and run the microwave for 30 seconds to ensure the turntable rotates smoothly and the water heats evenly.

4. Operating Instructions

Once installed, the glass turntable tray operates automatically with your microwave oven. Ensure that food items and containers are centered on the tray to allow for proper rotation and even cooking. Avoid placing excessively heavy items on the tray that could impede its rotation or cause damage.

5. Maintenance

Regular cleaning of the glass turntable tray is recommended to maintain hygiene and ensure optimal microwave performance.

• Cleaning: The glass tray can be easily removed for cleaning. Wash it with warm, soapy water or place it in a dishwasher. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely before returning it to the microwave.
• Handling: Handle the glass tray with care to prevent chipping or breakage. Avoid sudden temperature changes, such as placing a hot tray directly into cold water.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect the tray for any cracks, chips, or damage. A damaged tray should be replaced immediately to prevent further issues during microwave operation.
