    The diagrams I’ve seen show the wave stirrer on the roof. The microwaves I’ve seen have the ceramic plate on the side where the magnetron is so there’s no space for a stirrer.

      if the diagram’s any good, it should show the wave stirrer in the roof rather than on the ceiling of the food chamber. There’s typically a waveguide to take the microwaves from the magnetron to the top of the chamber, then the wave stirrer is at the end of the waveguide to vary the angle that microwaves enter the chamber at. There’s usually something to stop food splashing/spraying into that section, though, e.g. an extra few centimetres of waveguide afterwards with a bend in it.
