• Exterior Cleaning: Clean the exterior surfaces, including the stainless steel front, with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as they can scratch the surface.
• Turntable and Ring: The glass turntable and turntable ring can be removed and washed in warm, soapy water or in the dishwasher. Ensure they are completely dry before placing them back in the oven.
• Door Seals: Regularly clean the door seals and adjacent parts with a damp cloth to remove any food spills. This ensures a proper seal during operation.
