Setup and Installation

Your Galanz microwave oven is designed for countertop installation. Follow these steps for proper setup:

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove all packaging materials and accessories. Inspect the oven for any damage, such as dents or a misaligned door. Do not operate the oven if it is damaged.
2. Placement: Place the microwave oven on a flat, stable surface that is strong enough to hold the oven and the food you will be cooking. Ensure there is adequate ventilation space around the unit (at least 4 inches on sides and back, 12 inches above).

4. Internal Components: Place the roller ring in the center of the oven cavity. Then, place the glass tray securely on top of the roller ring. Ensure the shaft is properly engaged with the center of the glass tray for 360° rotation.
