ACCESSORIES:
Check to make sure the following accessories are
provided:
(15) Turntable (16) Turntable support (17) Coupling
Place the turntable support in the centre of the oven
floor so that it can freely rotate around the coupling.
Then place the turntable on to the turntable support
so that it locates firmly into the coupling.
To avoid turntable damage, ensure dishes and containers are lifted clear of the turntable rim when
removing them from the oven.
NOTE: When you order accessories, please mention
two items: part name and model name.
NOTES:
• The waveguide cover is fragile. Care should be taken when cleaning inside the oven to ensure that it is not
damaged.
• Always operate the oven with the turntable and turntable support fitted correctly. This promotes thorough,
even cooking. A badly fitted turntable may rattle, may not rotate properly and could cause damage to the
oven.
• All food and containers of food are always placed on the turntable for cooking.
• The turntable rotates clockwise or anti-clockwise. The rotary direction may change each time you start the
oven. This does not affect cooking performance.
