scope: work cold and use only the manual's permitted supports and cooking modes. do not glue cracked glass, alter supports or run an empty microwave test. cool hot glass gradually on a heatproof mat, not a cold or wet surface.
steps
- check the cold oven
switch off and let the oven and tray cool. check the full model in the compatibility checker, then compare the tray's outer size and edge shape. check the accessible supports; a new tray cannot bridge broken ones.
- swap the tray
avoid sharp damaged edges and do not glue cracked glass for reuse. put the new tray in the user-accessible supports, in the position shown in the manual. use only the modes that manual permits.
- check the fit cold
the tray must sit evenly and securely without force. stop if it rocks or jams, and do not alter the supports. no powered or empty-microwave test is needed.
- let hot glass cool
let it cool gradually on a heatproof mat, not a cold or wet surface. follow the manual before dishwasher washing or cleaning-cycle use.
