6. Maintenance and Cleaning

• Door and Seals: Regularly clean the door, door seals, and adjacent parts with a soft cloth to ensure proper closure and prevent microwave energy leakage.
• Turntable: The glass turntable and roller ring can be removed for cleaning. Wash them in warm, soapy water or in a dishwasher. Ensure they are completely dry before placing them back in the oven.
