Stop using the microwave, unplug it and let the glass turntable cool fully before touching it.
Consult the model manual, then carefully lift out the glass plate and the roller ring beneath it. Hold the glass with both hands.
Samsung recommends cleaning the turntable weekly. Its guide says the tray is dishwasher-safe; for handwashing, use warm sudsy water and a soft cloth.
Check and clean the roller ring about once a month, removing crumbs and residue. Gently wipe the floor beneath without allowing water into appliance openings.
Rinse and dry the removable parts thoroughly. Avoid steel wool, chlorine bleach, abrasive solvents and sharp scrapers.
Seat the ring and tray correctly before use. If the turntable wobbles, stops rotating or is cracked, stop and seek manufacturer support.
