  1. Press "Stop" to halt microwave operation.

  2. Press the "Turntable" button once to turn off rotation.

  3. Push the door-release button to open the microwave oven if you do not have a "Turntable" button on your control keypad.

  4. Lift and remove the glass platter from the oven, then pick up the plastic track with three wheels below the platter. Set aside these parts.

You can now place food on the elevated tray and cook normally without disrupting the drive bolt.
