Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning of your microwave oven will ensure its longevity and efficient operation.

Cleaning the Interior

• After each use, wipe the interior with a damp cloth to remove any food splatters.
• For stubborn stains, place a bowl of water with lemon slices inside and heat for 2-3 minutes until steam fills the oven. This will loosen food particles, making them easier to wipe away.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners or metal scouring pads, as they can damage the interior surface.

Cleaning the Exterior

• Wipe the exterior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth.
• Clean the control panel gently with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid excessive moisture.

Cleaning the Turntable and Roller Ring

• Remove the glass turntable and roller ring.
• Wash them in warm, soapy water or in the dishwasher.
• Dry thoroughly before placing them back in the oven.
