Microwave cooks unevenly; some areas of food are overcooked while others are still cold.

Safety: Use oven mitts when handling hot containers.

User-level steps:

• 1. Verify turntable operation: Ensure the glass tray rotates smoothly during cooking.
• 2. Use appropriate cookware: Use round, microwave-safe glass or ceramic dishes. Avoid very large or square dishes that block rotation.
• 3. Stir and rotate food: Pause cooking halfway to stir or rearrange food, especially for dense items.
• 4. Avoid overloading: Do not stack containers or cover the entire tray with food, which can block microwave distribution.

If the turntable works but heating remains very uneven, the internal stirrer fan or waveguide may be faulty and should be inspected by a technician.
