How to Turn the Turntable Function On or Off

Using the Turntable Function on your Amana Microwave

The Turntable function may be turned off on select models for manual cooking only. This is also helpful when cooking with plates that are bigger than the turntable or when cooking with plates that are side by side. Two different styles of microwaves have the turntable function. Please see the steps below on how to turn this function on and off.  Reminder: Please see your Owner's Manual for specific information on your microwave.
