Care and Maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your microwave oven.
Exterior Cleaning
Wipe the exterior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the finish.
Interior Cleaning
Clean the interior cavity, door seals, and turntable regularly. For spills, wipe immediately with a damp cloth. For stubborn food residue, place a bowl of water with a few lemon slices inside and microwave for 2-3 minutes. The steam will loosen the residue, making it easier to wipe clean. The glass turntable tray can be removed and washed with warm, soapy water.
Odor Removal
To remove odors, place a bowl containing a mixture of water and lemon juice or baking soda in the oven and microwave for several minutes. This will help neutralize unpleasant smells.
