The light inside would turn on, the turntable would spin, the timer would count down, and this would all continue until the timer reached zero, at which time everything would shut off. Most manuals advise against doing this, because if there's nothing in the oven to absorb the microwaves they can reflect back and damage the klystron (the part that actually generates the microwaves).
